Key Features

• Hickory flavor: Delivers a sweet, smoky hickory note that complements red meat, pork, poultry, fish and vegetables without overpowering them.
• All-natural hardwoods: Made from 100-percent hardwood with no flavorings, fillers or additives, so smoke flavor comes from the wood itself.
• Low moisture: Low moisture content produces steady, clean smoke and helps maintain good heat retention during long, low-temperature cooks.
• Well balanced flavor: Provides a balanced smoke profile that enhances pulled pork and brisket without adding bitterness.
• Compatible with many grills: Works in outdoor pellet grills and smokers as well as gas, charcoal and electric grills that accept grilling pellets.

Who It's For

These pellets are best for backyard cooks and hobby pitmasters who want a dependable hickory smoke for a variety of proteins and vegetables. Because of the low moisture and consistent burn, they are well suited to long smokes like pork shoulder or brisket as well as shorter sears where a touch of smoke is desired.

People who need flavored blends, wood mixes, or pellets formulated with added seasonings should look elsewhere, since these are pure hardwood pellets with no additives. If you require small sample sizes rather than 40 lb bags, consider smaller package options from other lines.
