bulk pellets?

[monty3777]

What's the best way to get bulk pellets? Do teams usually join forces and buy in bulk? Anyone in Iowa (or who will be attending Iowa comps) interested?

 

[KC_Bobby]

We would be if you order BBQers Delight.

I was talking to Shotgun the other day, and he was telling me you were their bbqers delight hookup at the qlossal last year, Bob. Just a one time thing?

I would be interested in a bulk order as well if Candy or someone else can hook us northern folk up with some Delight...

 

[DMDon]

Iowa/local Brethern, PM me with how many lbs you want and I'll get a bulk deal put together.

 

[monty3777]

Sounds good, Don. Can you all give me some indication of how many lbs I'll need? Never cooked on an FEC and I'm not real sure. How much should I expect per cook?

 

[Buster Dog BBQ]

I might be in on that too. How many pounds on a pallet? They come 10lb bags and there are 4 bags in a shrink wrap.

BBQrs delight pellets are the BEST!

I'm ordering one today from Candy if anyone from my area needs some. Or if not from my area, I also travel a little......

The more u order the cheaper it gets. I just ordered 2100lbs from Candy. order in 40lb increments. (4-10# bags per sleeve) They came on one pallet. Came to just under 5$ a bag shipped to NY.

damn 2100lbs and one FEC...what, are you feeding the duck pellets?

I have been burning pellets since 2007.
I have tried about every supplier out there.
Because of my location in the FL Panhandle, each and every pellet has to be shipped in.

I burn about 1/2 lb/hr at 250 deg in my FEC. About 3/4 lb/hr at 300 deg or when using pure fruit pellets with lower BTU/hr output.
My Traeger Lil Tex burns about twice that.

My favorite is CookingPellets, because they are 100% flavorwood and a quality pellet.
But---over $1.25/lb with shipping. OUCH.

I have changed to Candy Sue's and they work great. Another quality pellet. They are blended with Oak, but I have learned to live with that.

I finally bit the bullet and bought a 400# bulk order from Candy Sue late last year. Cost about $260 or 65 cents per lb.
Great move.

I thought it seemed like a lot of $, but I used to spend way more than that maintaining my charcoal, chunks, and firewood inventory.
The pellets have an infinite shelf life (unlike smoker wood) if they are kept dry.

I just looked today and I am down to about 150# and need to be thinking of a re-order.
And, I only cook Comps and a limited amount of recreational cooking.

What I am trying to say is:
Don't be afraid of a 400# order for yourself--it is not really all that many $$ and works well.
You will have so much fun--you will go through that before you know it. It just SOUNDS like a lot :redface:

Good luck.

Don, any idea about price?

 

[thenewguy]

Don, I'm in too-Let us know how much you're thinkin weight wise. I'd be in for a couple hunderd pounds.

 

[grossepellets]

Then there's the pellet mill I have for sale in my warehouse barely used - including shipping $4,000.
22rpm's, nice unit would do the job - learn how to make them and solve any issue of supply forever.
just a thought :idea:

 

[Contracted Cookers]

branch creek from kansas if they are still around great pellets

 

[grossepellets]

BBQchef33 - is that $5 per each 10#'s? or $5 each per $40 lbs delivered for $250 to NY?

 

[DMDon]

Don, any idea about price?

I can't remember what we pd per lb last time. I'll make some calls after I get back from St Joe

 

[widespread]

I just got 1000lbs from Candy, 47 cents a lb. including shipping. Great pellets!

Sorry bout that - should have realized you guys were busy this weekend. Good luck!!

 

[grossepellets]

0.47 a lb thats GREAT! Where you able to get 250lbs of oak, 250 lbs or maple, 250 lbs of whatever or is it one species? still a great priced delivered - how do they compare to treager pellets?
