USING WOOD PELLET FUEL
Clean-burning barbecue wood pellets generate about 8200 BTU’s per pound with very little ash, a low moisture content (5-7%),
and are carbon neutral.
Barbecue wood pellets are produced by pure raw material (sawdust) being pulverized with a hammer-mill, and the material is
pushed through a die with pressure. As the pellet is forced through the die, it is cut, cooled, screened, vacuumed, and then bagged
for consumer use. Check with your local dealer for flavors available in your area.
HICKORY BLEND
Rich with a smoky bacon-like flavor. Highly
recommended for roasts and smoking your
favorite meats.
CHERRY BLEND
Slightly sweet with a hint of tart. Gives your light
meats a rosy tint that is incomparable in appearance
and taste.
PECAN BLEND
Smoky, bacon-like flavor. Similar to Hickory, but
less strong.
WHISKEY BARREL BLEND
Sweet and smoky with an aromatic tang. A premium
blend of oak, and perfect for all your red meats.
MESQUITE BLEND
Strong aroma with a tangy and spicy flavor. The
perfect level of bold taste to compliment your
Tex-Mex cuisine.
COMPETITION BLEND
An ideal blend of sweet, savory and tart. A combination
of maple, hickory and cherry – perfectly versatile for all
your cooking needs. Used by many professional grillers.
APPLE BLEND
Smoky with a mild sweetness flavor. Highly
recommended for baking and pork.
NOTE: Always store wood pellets in a dry area. Avoid any contact or exposure to moisture will result in lower heat
output or cause the pellets to swell and break apart. Use a moisture proof, resealable tub or bucket for proper storage.
COOKING GUIDELINES
Smoking and grilling styles of cooking can give you different results based on time and temperature. For best results, keep a
record of what you cooked, at what temperature, how long you cooked for, and the results. Adjust to your taste for the next time.
Practice makes perfect. The culinary art of hot smoking refers to longer cooking times, but results in more natural wood flavor
(and a sought-after Pink Ring) on your meats. Higher temperatures result in a shorter cooking time, locking in less smoke flavor.
TIP: For best results, allow time for meats to rest after cooking. This allows the natural juices to migrate back into
the meat fiber, giving a much juicer, flavorful cut. Resting times can be as little as 3 minutes and up to 60 minutes,
depending on the size of the protein.
