  2. I use Pit Boss Competition w/ very good results; especially with spatchcock turkey, chicken wings and pulled pork.

    I recently bought some Lumberjack from Blains on sale via fellow bud's recommendation who's used > 200#'s of it this past year. I will use for my next smoke for comparison.
    Have heard about auger feeding issues w/ Traeger's pellets in their own Traeger grills.

  3. I switched from Weber champion blend pellets to Royal Oak charcoal pellets and my Pit Boss Brunswick Platinum makes much better smoked meats. I also use a smoke tube that lasts for about 4 hours using the charcoal pellets mentioned above too. Love the smoker, but I regret giving my dad my old charcoal smoker. That thing made way better smoked meats than anything I have used in the past.

  4. If I'm not mistaken, Traeger requires you to use their pellets, otherwise you'll void your warranty! Is this not correct??? That said, I'm not entirely sure how they would know you didn't use their brand of pellets!

  5. I can tell you from experiments I've done with trying to grow mushrooms on wood pellets that all of the companies are lying. There pellets are soft wood. The mushroom species I would try to grow would only grow on hard wood pellets.

  6. I just bought a pellet grill a couple of weeks ago. My first pellets were Pit Boss competition blend, and I was extremely disappointed. My pork butt tasted like it came out of oven. I then bought some bear mountain and made ribs. It was a really good step up. I just discovered that a store near me carries lumberjack brand and i plan on trying those soon. I will never use pit boss for smoking vut for the price I will definitely use them if I just want a nice hot flame on my grill for a non-smoke cook.

  14. LOL, before I saw this, I watched your video where you did the "blind" pellet test and Traeger got the most number one votes and zero last choice votes of six brands of pellets from the panel of experience judges. Now I see why you were so disappointed that Traeger was by far, the favorite.

  17. I'm just getting into pellet smokers. I understood different pellets gave different results, but I grabbed anything to start experimenting. Coincidentally saw treager pellets for $8.50 per 20lb bag.
