Gives off black smoke and soot

Bad product. It burns black smoke and leaves soot on smoker and food. Probably has pine in it.

Great value and smoky flavor

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.

on a whim

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.

Great pellets at a great price!

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!

All I use

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.

Jamming in Auger

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

Nightmare product - it does not merit 1 star!

I have a Traeger smoker that has worked flawlessly for many years. I have always used Traeger pellets. When I saw this product and the positive reviews, I bought it. I loaded the smoker with these pellets. I used it once successfully. A few weeks later, I tried to use the smoker and it would not work. These pellets had turned into sawdust and clogged the pellet feed line. It was so bad, I had to remove the pellet feed box and all electrical components to clear the auger. My choice to buy these pellets resulted in a few hours of work for thinking I could save a few dollars by not buying Traeger pellets. And, I have a big bag of what I now consider dangerous pellets. If you have a Traeger smoker, you are risking a full disassembly and rebuild of the smoker if you use this product.

Smokehouse 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.

sooty smoke

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.
