Rated 5 out of 5 by from Cherry wood I finally got out my comfort box and bought another brand of coal, and man let me tell you it was well worth it. I'm a huge fan of the match light (the fluid messes with my throat). The I add the pellets after soaking them in water. It's way to expensive for me to get a smoker ( one day I'll get on or even upgrade my grill to have a smoker in it )

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just like actual chunks Just like actual chunks of wood, these are flavorful and easy to use. It doesn't take much to get the perfect balance when smoking. The meat tastes amazing and for a 20 lb bag, it's very affordable. I would definitely recommend these to anyone who wants to venture out and try new flavors.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from These are great if These are great if you have a smoker and want to add flavors to it. These are a pellet so they work well in the smoker box and they come in a big bag that is very reasonable priced. I would definitely recommend them.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from First time Kingsford Pellet user Bought today in emergency need of pellets for my Traeger. 100% use Traeger pellets the kids used the Trager this weekend and emptied the hopper so I needed some quickly. I recalled when shopping at my local grocrey store I remembered seeing Kingsford sold therer. So, I was in quick need of pellets so I thought I try Kingsford. After I dumped the bag in the hopper I noticed at least 25% of the pellets were a lighter color they looked like plastic and not wood. I'm not sure if the burned well or not. So, not sure I'll use them again kind of disapointed in the results.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Broken-up Pellets and all that dust for $17.99 Picked up a Bag of Cherrywood Pellets, a few weeks later, I needed to switch out the wood for the ideal flavor for Brisket. I picked up what was available locally, and I picked up a bag of Pit Boss Classic Blend. As soon as I poured the bag of Pit Boss in the hopper, I noticed that the quality of pellets was way different. The bag of Kingsford was all small chunks and tons of sawdust compared to the uniformed pellet size from the Pit Boss. I've heard great things from a few Facebook groups talking the praise of the Kingsford blends. After spending $17.99 for a back of useless dust that can't burn at a constant temp, I've going to be hard-pressed to willingly pay $17.99 for 20lbs when I can spend $12.44 for 30lbs of a more consistent product. Just make sure if you are buying this in a physical store, you check and see if your bag is all smashed up like mine was. I'm sure you'll love your Kingsford pellets, I just wish I would have known what to look for when I was buying my first bag of pellets.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great subtle BBQ wood chips This is a more subtle and delicate flavor than the usual hickory and can be used with chicken, pork, beef, salmon, and whatever else you’d want to smoke. The flavor doesn’t overpower the meat/veggies.
