  • Good, Just Needs a Little Time for Good Smoke Flavor to Shine
Style: Competition Blend Size: 40 lbs
Update (2/10)/2017) I have perfected my usage of these pellets with chicken and WOW 5stars! So double up the smoke volume on the smoke for chicken (A-maze-N Pellet Smoker lit from both sides). Do so for the 3-4 hour smoke and prepare to be amazed! I believe the same would work for ribs. This pellet blend is starting to blow me away as I learn how to best use it. So far a minimum of 4 hours of smoke or doubling the smoke output seems to be how to make this wonderful pellet blend shine. The smoke is amazing once you get it on your food. Upgrading to 5 stars especially since I bought it for less than $21! Update (1/23/2017): I am really liking this blend more and more. I think the key is to get at least 4 hours of smoke on meat. Once you get this level of smoke it really starts to shine quite a bit more. If doing a 3 hour or less smoke and using the A-Maze-N Pellet Smoker you can light from both ends to double up on the smoke. This may help and I plan to do it on any smokes 3 hours or less while using this pellet blend. Once you get enough of this smoke on your meat I think it is definitely a 5 star flavor. You just have to learn the sweet spot with your setup, level of smoke production, and the amount of time needed to really get the enough of the great flavor going! ---------------------- I bought the the 40lbs Competition Blend because of the price and the amount of pellets provided. That is a pretty good dollar to amount of pellets deal. As for flavor the smoke was mild on a 3 hour smoke I did on chicken leg quarters. I used the A-Maze-N Pellet Smoker which worked well with the pellets. The smoke flavor on the chicken was not very strong at all but had what I felt was some complexity. I really noticed this when I deboned the last 4 chicken quarters and put them in foil and then in the fridge for left overs. Later that day I ate some of the chicken and the flavor had really shined showing off the complexity of smoke flavor even though it was still mild in smokiness. This delayed flavor surprise was makes this a 4 star review rather than a 2 star review. The Competition Blend may not have been what I expected (all purpose) but I think it has a very specific usage where it can shine. Pros: -Burns well -Lots of pellets for an inexpensive price -Leaves little ash and had no partially or unburnt bellets -Flavor seems to get more complex over time in chicken (haven't tried other meat with it yet) Cons: -Mild flavor -Not what I would imagine a "competition" blend would be. It seems to be good for more delicate meats and pallets rather than a versatile competition smoke used for prominent meats (pork butts, brisket, etc.) or for a variety of meats Suggested Usage: I plan to do the following with the 40 pounds I have and suggest you consider the pellets for the same and nothing more: -Smoking Chicken that will be pulled or deboned -Smoking other poultry or delicate meat (I'm thinking lamb might be good and salmon as well) -Smoking Homemade Franks/Hot Dogs -Smoking Homemade Bologna or other lightly smoked sandwich meats -Blending with a 100% pellet like Mesquite (Mesquite is strong so this could be used to blend with mesquite like 50/50 or 70% Mesquite/ 30% Competition Blend) -Using for A-Maze-N Pellet Smoker startup: AMNPS instructions state to let pellets burn with flame for 10 minutes before blowing out and generating smoke. I plan to sacrifice the competition blend for the first 10 minutes of my AMNPS startup since I have so much Competition Blend for such a good price. It can be used as a bit of startup fodder :) I hope you guys find this helpful :) ... show more

  • Amazing Flavor and Quality!
Style: Hickory Blend Size: 20 lbs
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently tried the Pit Boss 20-pound Hickory Blend Wood Pellets, and I am absolutely impressed! These pellets are a game changer for my BBQ sessions. The hickory blend gives a rich, smoky flavor that perfectly complements everything from ribs to burgers, and even veggies. I love how they burn consistently, providing steady heat and smoke throughout the cooking process. The pellets themselves are high quality — they burn clean, leave very little ash, and are easy to load into my smoker. They also have a great scent while smoking, which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. The 20-pound bag is perfect for several cooking sessions, so it offers great value for money. If you're looking to elevate your BBQ game, I highly recommend these Pit Boss pellets. They provide fantastic flavor and are a must-have for any grilling enthusiast! ... show more

  • Reliable pellets that work great in smoker tubes
Style: Mesquite Blend Size: 20 lbs
I purchased this product as a Christmas gift for my father, along with a smoker tube to use on his grill. Prior to selecting this product, I did quite a bit of research on the best brand and flavor of smoker pellets. Many pellet review articles listed Pit Boss as the absolute best. Plus, this humungous bag was very reasonably priced, especially compared to many of Pitt Boss’s competitors. My cousin who has a stand alone smoker and makes the best ribs I’ve ever had recommended the Mesquite flavor, which he said would give the food that West Texas BBQ flavor that my dad loves. I am happy to say that my dad was incredibly pleased with these pellets! They work very well, heat up fast, retain heat, produce the perfect amount of ash, and come in a very economical and large bag. The mesquite flavor has come through nicely in all ttthe food my dad has smoked. I would definitely recommend this product and will absolutely buy it for my father again. ... show more
