I used the name brands and these are just as good, even better for the price. Typically the brands that don't sell smokers are better IMO.

I really like these pellets, and the price is great too! Have a nice hardwood campfire smell and very little dust or ash. As long as these stay priced right, I’ll continue to use them!

I've been using these pellets for the past few years in my Rec Tec Bull and have never had a problem with these. I use them exclusively for fish, chicken, pork,& beef and have always been happy with the flavor. Thank you Sams fo a great product.

Bought a bag just to try them out and did some baby backs. They turned out really well with a good smoke flavor. For the price I think this will be my main source and maybe use some different flavors in the smoke tube.

I bought a new pellet smoker from sams and I really like it. Was running "Treg" pellets with no problem. I saw these pellets and thought it was a good deal and it is. My smoker don't like them "Pro Series Pellet Grill by Members Mark" all it did was run for a while and jam up, over and over. My ribs was suppose to be done at 5:pm with all the jamming they finally were done at 7:pm. The little pieces of pellet would bind in the auger. Happy with Sams Club they refunded my money back

Used them in my pellet smoker, it kept dropping temp because they burn so poorly. Switched to Weber pellets, worked great. Went back to these pellets, literally smothered the flame and shut down the grill. Went back to the Weber pellets, worked great again. 'Nuff said...I threw the rest of the bag away!

These are the worst pellets I’ve ever used. They smell like saw dust and they turned everything black. I use a rec teq and it always keeps temp within a few degrees of the set temp. These pellets burned about 40 degrees hotter than the set temp. I never could get it to cool down to where I wanted the temp.

I am an avid, year-round outdoor cooker for over 30 years and currently have 2 of my 5 cookers as pellet grills. There are many brands of pellets I have used and a few that I regular use because of consistent flavor profiles and effectiveness in the cooker (no jams, quality smoke, etc.). This is my first and last bag I will purchase and absolutely do not recommend using them! As soon as I opened the bag I immediately thought the smell was like walking into a lumber yard. Just plain, construction-grade cut lumber smell. Nonetheless, I was smoking meats all day yesterday and was going to begin another long overnight cook with some pork butts and planned on using these pellets. I had a little left of my go-to pellets for pork in the hopper (Jealous Devil) and then added about 15 lbs of this. When the cook was going last night, I had my typical clean/blue smoke coming from my cooker. However, as those pellets burned off and these started kicking in, all the smoke was a dirty, dark grey color. I noticed this in the early morning and immediately dumped what was left out of my hopper and added more Jealous Devil. Also immediately, the problem was solved and back to clean smoke. It does not matter how cheap these are if they ruin your expensive meat you are smoking for 16+ hours. I am going to try and get a refund for this purchase and will never buy them again. Spend your money elsewhere on better quality pellets.

My pellet grill keeps coding too hot and shutting down after a few hours of cooking. The grill manufacturer says my Smokehouse pellets are the problem because they create too much ash. I have not yet tried a different pellet to see if there's a difference.

Bought these since it was such a great deal- more pellets for less money! Well you get what you pay for- these clog the hopper on our pit boss pellet grill and causes the feeder to stop spinning. Have had issues with it twice now both times while using these pellets. No issues with the pit boss or traeger brand pellets. Will not be buying these again
