Smoke Daddy near you... the same guys that build pellet grills? Must be hard to walk out with only pellets!

I use a mix of 50/50 Hickory & Cherry BBQ Delight, and I don't know if it is still true, but Academy Sports and Outdoors which is big in Texas and surrounding areas has B&B Branded pellets which at one time were made by BBQ Delight.

How many pounds of pellets do you need to have on hand? In my case they compete with B&B and Stubbs charcoal for taking up valuable storage space in my garage.

My FEC-100 burns less than a pound of pellets per hour at 250 degrees, so a twenty pound bag is good for way more than twenty hours of cooking. I start my rib cooks out at 180 for an hour in smoke mode before cranking up to 250 and doubt that I go through more than a couple of pounds of pellets over a four hour rib cook.

Yep, about a half hour north from work. Dennis LOVES to talk about anything BBQ. I usually show up around lunch time and he always offers me lunch.

Seems he's always smoking up something for lunch for his crew. He's shown me around the shop several times and likes to show off the latest thing he's working on.

GREAT GUY!

I used to use Cookinpellets exclusively and got them from Amazon. I haven't ordered them since the prices went way up. Mostly, now I buy the Pit Boss Competition Blend from Walmart. Price is good, they have no fillers, burn/ash rate is good, and any flavor variation is negligible. Plus, I can grab a bag or two at the store a mile from my house whenever I need.

KevinJ · 10-17-2018, 06:13 AM

I have a Lumber Jack dealer in town, $10.99 for #20 bag.

sleebus.jones · 10-17-2018, 06:48 AM

Although I have never used them, bbqpelletsonline.com sets up group buys. I would have done the last one, BUT all members of the group buy have to pick them up at the terminal at the same time, which is only open Mon-Fri and load them themselves. Pretty much a non-starter if you have a day gig. Price was really good, something around $14/40# for lumberjack.

I generally use Pit Boss comp blend from Walmart. Cheap and have good flavor, IMO. I also have used B&B (which is rebranded BBQr's delight) from Academy. They're also fine, but double the cost on a $/lb basis, and I really don't tell any difference in the flavor.

I've also used some Traeger cherry pellets from the local Ace Hardware. Normally everything there is too dang expensive, but their occasional $5 coupon brings stuff down to the level where I'll try it.

For those who can get B&B pellets, I'm told that Oak is 100% oak. All else is 70% oak and 30% flavorwood.

I wish I could go back and find that test that was done on different pellets with blind tasting...and out of all the pellets (blends and single wood) tested only one was able to be identified. ;)

I used tobuy bybthe ton and paid between 9-11$ a bag. But I would burn thru that In one season. Now, I only need 5-6 bags on hand at any given time and that can last me 6 months. I haven't fired up the pellet cooker since July, but burned through boatload of Oak and Cherry Styx on the stick burner. Like baccus said, the pellets compete 4 commodity space in my shed where I keep bags of Royal Oak and Kingsford. So I know I'm paying top dollar Plus but for my needs and the small quantity the convenience of throwing them into an existing order just to have a few on hand takes the sting off.

Can you order the 1000 lbs shipped directly to your door, or is this part of a larger group buy?

Direct to my door this last time. Last year I ordered 1000lbs and picked it up at the local trucking center for about $100 less than it was this year to my door.

Comes like so
