Works Great!

I probably can't say it outright, but these are actually manufactured by a company that rhymes with Pear Fountain. These are awesome. I quit buying other brands and buy these exclusively now.

I have been using these in my Rectec grill for years, i have had some issues of late with the auger jamming. According to the manufacturer it can be caused by pellets tha are more than 1 inch long. i want to continue to use but can't put up with failed cooks that cause unfinished meats. Will likely switch to another brand in tje future.

Great Price and Great flavor!

I have been shopping around for pellets that are of quality and good price. These bags are less then have of all the other stores and online. Did chicken with Brussels sprouts, asparagus, and chopped potatoes for the first use. IT WAS AWSOME! Both my wife and I loved it. The flavor was Smokey but mild. Not overwhelming as I cooked it at 330 degrees. Dust was minimal at the bottom of the bag. Probably like a 1/8 cup worth on the last dump. I purchased 200 pounds more of this pellet just to make sure they didn’t run out on my at the store as Sams can sometimes do.

Fantastic Value

Living in California we burn though 80-100 pounds of pellets per month so purchasing pellets at $36 for 40 pounds gets a little pricey. We smoke bacon, jerky, brisket, ribs, cheese, etc. as well as grilling and searing at high temperatures. We have owned a pellet grill for more than 8 years. Since purchasing a RecTeq ST- 700 two years ago we have only purchased RecTeq, Cookin Pellets and on a few occasions Kingsford or Traeger. Last month I discovered Sam’s Club sells Smokehouse brand for $14.98 for 40 pounds and after reading various reviews decided to give them a try. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Smokehouse had very little sawdust when putting them through a sieve prior to loading the hopper. The amount of sawdust is almost non existent when compared to the other aforementioned brands. The pellets seem to be a uniform size and color. After testing the temperature consistency @ 180, 225, 450 and 600 I found no issues with the pellets maintaining an accurate and even temperature. At the conclusion of testing the first 80 pounds of pellets I have found that there is significantly less ash than Kingsford or Traeger. The flavor is mild, sweet and flavorful, with the final result every bit as good as the other brands blends. Smokehouse Blend is now my pellet of choice.

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.
