Bear Mountain 3-Pack Wood Pellets for Smoker, Grill & BBQ, 20 Lb, Apple, Hickory & Gourmet - Premium Hardwood Barbecue Pellets for Indoor and Outdoor Grilling

Has been my favorite brand for years. I get a lot more smoke from Bear Mountain than any other pellet I've tried with great penetrating flavor. Price is on point as well. I doubt I'll ever use another pellet in my smoker other than these.

Works as advertised. Adds flavor to meat

Very pleased with these pellets. I'm new to pellet usage for smoking and have a #PitBoss 3 series vertical smoker that is also new. My first cook after ~8 hours of slow smoking a pork butt with the Hickory pellets I freaked out because I had about 1.5 tablespoons of ash in my ash/burner can. I was aghast. I thought something might have been wrong with my smoker. Second cook - 19 hour overnight brisket flat - REAL slow - (was nervous about #PitBoss random temp control overnight and waking up to a brisket briquette. Anyhow, 19 hours of burning and the Gourmet blend with left over hickory left me with about a quarter cup of ash. At this point I'm impressed. These bags came in boxes and the bags were not damaged so that was a plus. Each bag filled up my #oklahomajoe's 5159038W01 Pellet Bucket Kit, Black perfectly with room to keep the scooper inside. Third cook 6 hour smoked salmon filets with Apple. Oh my goodness. The flavor turned out AMAZING. Going to be re-ordering all these plus a few different options for next cook. Of note - As with anything new I research the snot out of new things I get into and learned that not all pellets are created equally. There are other brands who use oils, aromatics, and binders when making pellets that I personally don't want in my food. Additionally, not everyone uses ONLY hardwood, nor do they use 100% of the wood you think your getting in the pellet. All those things contribute to ash production as well as BTU (the amount of heat energy stored in the pellet - you get from burning the pellet) Do your homework when looking for pellets, #BearMountain has impressed me. The only reason I will consider others such as #knottywood is to get woods I can't get from #BearMountain. If you get a sealed, dry bag like I did and keep it stored correctly, and empty your hoppers immediately after cooking - I don't see how you can have a bad cook with these. Will for sure buy again soon.

Love these! Super easy to use. Great value for the size of bags. Shipped in 2 boxes so it wasn't too heavy to carry. Love the taste the pellets give my meat while smoking!
