Superb for Brisket!

I've been using my Traeger for many years now, and this was my first time using this "Texas" blend for brisket. WOW - - highly recommended!! Gave the brisket a nice smoke ring and bark (I didn't wrap), taste was fantastic yet didn't have that sharp acidic smoke bite like I got in the past when doing long duration smokes of large cuts of beef. Definitely try the "Texas" blend for your next beef rib / brisket / tri-tip.

Perfect

Used this bag to smoke a brisket on my Traegers maiden smoke. The brisket came out absolutely perfect. Granted I had never smoked anything before and the brisket didn't come off the Traeger until 3am. But that's not the pellets fault. The 3am dinner I had was delicious. I was exhausted but it was delicious. Likewise I've been eating the leftovers for the better part of the last week. However, I will note the cost. The 20lb bag of pellets from Traeger and on Amazon is $18.99. The 33lb bag from Costco is $19.99. I will note that these apparently are a good combo of pellets, rather than just buying a bag of specific flavor pellets until you get your bearings with the smoker.

Highly recommend.

Bought these for my Traeger Junior, I was buying the ones that Costco sells, but these have the same woods in them, and seem to be identical. Saves me a trip to Costco, and these are delivered right to my door for about the same price. Highly recommend.

*UPDATED REVIEW*

*UPDATED 11/8/17 from 3 to 5 stars! As it turns out, the Tumbleweed fire starter was the cause of the unpleasant taste! I fired up the Uuni for a pizza tonight and used the Traeger oak pellets and a kitchen torch to light. The pizza was delicious with NO unpleasant taste & burned quite well! I'll definitely be purchasing these pellets again! (Original/old review - Our experience with the Traeger Oak Pellets was less than appetizing. After trying them twice, in our Uuni pizza oven, both times resulted in a "chemical" taste to our pizza. They burned well, got the oven nice and hot, no smoke, just the awful taste. Incidentally, we tried a different brand this weekend...no "chemical" taste whatsoever. Might just be personal preference...but I just don't think they're a good fit for this oven.)

100% as advertised; not cut with another wood

I have tried multiple brands of wood pellets for my smokers. I always go back to Traeger brand as they are exactly as they advertise. Many other brands may advertise a specific wood but the fine print on the label shows it's cut with 50% or more white oak. If you want Hickory, Maple, Cherry, Apple, Pecan, or another type, that's exactly what you get with Traeger. No mix.

Excellent smoke and flavor used in a smoke tube

I use these in a smoking tube that I bought on Amazon and they work great! For Chicken halves on my Weber grill, I fill the smoke tube about 1/4 of the way, light the pellets with a propane torch (don't bother with a lighter, use a small propane tank torch), let them burn for about 5 minutes, blow out the flame, place in the bottom of the grill right under the Chicken and cook on low heat (~250) for an hour and 20 minutes or until breast is at 165 degrees. These pellets provide more flavor than other brands I've used. If you want to smoke a brisket, you fill the tube up all the way and it will last about 4 - 5 hours with these pellets. They put out a LOT of smoke and it's a steady smoke. Will start buying only these from now on. BTW, the Cherry is my favorite flavor and can be used on a variety of proteins.

Super great price on these genuine Traeger pellets!

The price on these Traeger pellets was crazy good! The issue, however, was the shipping. I got two 20 pound bags in one gigantic box. When I finally PULLED it into my living room and tried opening it, I discovered one of the bags had broken. Needless to say it was a total and complete mess. That being said, I learned my lesson and will order one at a time!

Five Stars

Got these for my Uuni3 pizza oven and they work perfectly.

Gives a good, deep, rich, sweetish smoke.

We recently purchased a Traeger Tailgater and bought three bags of pellets--this hickory, apple and alder. We intend to use the Tailgater for chicken parts, thick pork butt slices and salmon fillets. We did a mixed grill over the weekend: Chicken thighs, fresh Alsatian sausage and nicely marbled pork butt slices. The fragrance and taste of these smoking hickory pellets was magnificent. We were used to smoking pecan, oak and mesquite on our big smoker in our back yard. We've downsized and no longer have a yard. Desperately missing our smoker, we bought a Traeger. It is definitely not the same, but not a bad smoking experience. The hickory is a bit gentler than the pecan, oak and mesquite, but it gives a good, deep, rich, sweetish smoke. (We did not appreciate the apple; have yet to try the alder.)

Those Who Traeger Know...

Traeger Pellets are the best. I experimented with a few brands when I first got my smoker. These provide the best and most consistent smoke out of any brand I have tried. This was my first time trying the Signature Blend and it adds a wonderful taste. We Traeger 3 or 4 nights a week and it is especially nice to just have my pellets delivered regularly so we never run out.
