Never Let Me Down!!!

I've used these pellets for 2 years now... sometimes I add some jack daniels pellets in. However, they do well on almost anything I've smoked (beef, pork, chicken) without fail. Greqt value for the size of the bag!

Exclusively at Sam's

Excellent pellets with great flavor and slower burning than most.

Time Saving Blend!

This is my favorite blend of pellets. Before I found these at Sam's Club, I was buying multiple bags of pellets and blending my own.

Great Burn - Great Flavor

Picked these up for my Austin XL Pit Boss Pellet Grill/Smoker - These burn great, no flareups, no flame-outs. The cherry adds a nice fruit flavor witout being over bearing. Can use this blend on just about everything and get a nice robust smoke. They seem as good if not better than most name brand bags! (Trag, PB, Camp Chef, Etc)

Great quality pellets

I have ran roughly 800 pounds of these through my Recteq in 2 years and they perform perfectly every time. I only clean my fire pot out once a year, so two times now, lol. There is no need to fall for gimmicks that other pellets advertise, these are the real deal and turn out amazing BBQ. They also will get plenty hot if you like to grill on your pellet cooker. My Recteq will get a little over 700°F/371°C when turned all the way up to sear steaks.

Great Flavor, Low Ash & very little dust in bag

Great Results so far, I've done Tri-Tip, Brisket, Ribs, Jalapeno poppers with crab, hassellback potatoes, salmon, reverse seared steaks, and burgers all have come out fantastic with the smokehouse blend. The flavor is good and they seem to be more efficient than other brands I've used with less ash. Price is right as well.

Learn pellet smoking

I’m new to pellet smoking. This blend flavors meats nearly as strong as I get on a wood smoker. I hope Sam’s will restock. My husband has burned through one bag prior to this purchase. Now noticed a build up of ash and the pitboss is displaying an “ERL” error and shuts down a cooking cycle.

Adds a weird, funky flavor I’ve never had before.

Not great. Ran out of our other pellets before starting some chuck roast in our Traeger. I smoked for quite a few hours then braised. Used for shredded beef tacos. The meat tasted weird. I thought it might’ve been a weird seasoning, but something was “off” with the flavor. Fast forward to Valentine’s Day. I smoked and reverse sear New York strips for wife and I, which I’ve done before and tasted amazing. Didn’t give much thought and just made sure pellets were full using this same stuff. My first bite of steak and there was that weird flavor that I experienced when I smoked the chuck. It’s hard to describe the taste. It’s like an added fake meat flavor. So weird. I was so frustrated that these steaks were wrecked with the funky smoke that these pellets produced. I’ve cleaned these out of my smoker and I will trashing the rest of these pellets. No good.
