Lumberjack Hickory Pellets

Bob C Cue · 05-20-2022, 09:22 PM

I've tried quite a few brands and wood types of pellets and for my money Lumberjack hickory pellets have the most prə-ˈnau̇n(t)st smoke flavor of them all.

I loved their 100% pecan & 100% Maple, but they stopped making them.

I have never had that issue with them and might of set on the shelf to long or got a bad batch . I buy things at times and things are not what they used to be ,

I see what you did there!

ə, təff night for the Blues.

It occurred to me the phonetic spelling of Worcester might be Wustah in New England, but could also be Wustə in Old English or whatever.
So, do you have any funky spellings of BBQ terms with upside down letters or double dots over others?

And, since nobody else is reading this thread, I was wondering if pellet grills existed in Medieval times would they be called "wannabsmoked"?

They are my goto, Kingsford Hickory seems to smoke more at higher temps, not sure why or how but I get more visible smoke at 250. Price is my gripe about them

I think most of you are missing the main point of my OP:

Oh!

Agreed!

PBA XL has a large hopper. I have 3/4 bin of Kingsford Hickory and one five pound of same remaining. Aroma is fantastic, gets as much smoke on meat as any other pellets I have used.
Tacky surface by spritzing. I'm no expert and pretty much make it up as I go. One interesting remark I read is smoke sticks to damp- sticky surfaces easier and more abundantly. I seldom spritz but it does make sense to try if you're not happy with the smoke flavor you're currently getting

Bob, make sure you empty the firepot on your MAK every time with those. With LJ using bark, they are very ashy. I had a flameout on my MAK 13 hours into a brisket with them. Started with a clean pot and after 13 hours it was 1/2 to 2/3rds full of ash.

The Kingsford are also 100% hickory. Not sure on whether they use bark, but guessing they do as there’s plenty of ash with them as well. In the end, both should produce identical results.

CookinPellets also makes 100% Hickory, but they don’t use bark.

Doesn't your signature line need to be +1?

I remember reading about your flameout and it does seem like the LBH pellets do produce more ash than some brands. I don't think I've ever cooked on the MAK for longer than 7 or 8 hours. If I can ever afford to cook a brisket again I will probably use the PBC. Thanks for the heads up.
