CookinPellets 40PM Perfect Mix Smoking Pellets (3-(Pack))

I read all the reviews and this was my second time ordering these,i read the one that said he found pieces of blue plastic in it but didn't notice anything.too bad at my second bag of these around 60% i smelled something i thought my grill internals are burning but when i opened the pallet container i saw the same thing few pieces with "big" pieces of blue plastic in them.needless to say wont order any of these again no matter how good and cheap they are....(two bad i ordered two last time i still got one)

Best cooking pellets for the money here on Amazon. I have now purchased 6 bags of the perfect mix for my Traeger Smoker (purchased from Costco roadshow). I've purchased BBQ Delight pellets from their website, but they do not sell large quantities here on Amazon. The mix is better in my opinion and the opinion of my family who eats the food. Pellets are great for brisket (very long smoke) and pulled pork (long smoke). The verdict is still out on chicken as it is tough to smoke with the skin.One note, these do leave a fair amount of ash. After a very long smoke, I vacuum out the ash before smoking anything else. The amount of ash is same as BBQ Delight pellets.One bad thing about these pellets. The shipping. They come in a cardboard box which is very snug with the plastic bag. If you use scissors to open the box you will cut the plastic and need to put the pellets in a container.

I read the manufacturer's response to the customers who found blue plastic in their pellets and assumed that all of the manufacturing problems had been resolved, I guess that may not be the case. During the initial loading of my hopper, I spotted a pellet that I'm sure is not safe for food use. The pellet has what appears to be green paint or plastic imbedded. With the number of pellets in a bag, who knows how many pellets actually contain these unnatural impurities? (Photo attached)

Used many different woods in my older made in the USA Traeger and mostly use these pellets now. Once every six months or so something looks interesting and I'll give it a try, but always come back to these for the flavor, consistency and value. Traeger pellets use filler and scented oils (it's on the bag), so I don't buy them anymore. This works well with most everything. Of course, you'll get the most flavor for Mesquite and the most heat from a harder wood like Hickory. This blend maxes out at about 350 degrees Fahrenheit while the hardwoods get up to 425, YMMV. Most everything I smoke/cook can be done at/under 350 degrees, so this mix works well.Aside: Replaced the standard temperature control module with this one: "Digital Thermostat Kit for Traeger Grills by Ortech" (search for it here on Amazon) and the grill maintains temperature much better than with the original unit. Plus it gives incredible control of the SMOKE setting allowing the speed and duty cycle to be configured.

Best pellets I've ever used! Used to use Traeger pellets and there's no comparison...much better smoke flavor! I use these for everything from pork shoulder to beef brisket to chicken to fish. For the price, you can't beat them. I've burned through over 240 lbs of these over the last year and a half and have never had an issue! Highly recommended!

Search anywhere for the best, most economical smoking pellets and the forums will all guide you right here. These fine folks offer a wonderful product, 100% smoking wood. The more expensive pellets are often flavored with "smoke flavored" oils and they don't feed as well in my SmokePro DLX.We have gone through three 40lb bags in just about as many months (what can I say, I love my pellet smoker lol), and have found them to feed evenly, smoke wonderfully and make our smoked meats taste delightful.Thank you so much!

These pellets burn great, smoke great and smell great in my GMG Jim Bowie. I honestly can not believe that I can get 100% flavor wood pellets, no filler woods, shipped to my door in 2 days for this price. There is no way that Amazon is making any money on these, their loss is our gain!

Perfect mix and the Hickory have been consistent and are excellent for low and slow (380 deg to almost 400 is max), but that is what I use the pellet cooker for anyhow. Low and slow from 180 to 250, chicken at 350, perfect. It is hard to keep it above 400 deg for grilling, still searching for a quality "hot" pellet. I have found very little pre burn dust but it can produce a decent amount of ash, but the quality and flavor, that is a totally acceptable. Must buy for BBQ
