Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just incredible! I recently started using Kingsford pellets for my smoker, and I'm impressed with the results. These pellets burn cleanly and for a long time, providing a steady and even smoke flow. The result? Wonderfully cooked meat, with an amazing aroma and flavor! Recently, I made this sausage using Kingsford pellets, and it was simply delightful (see photo)! I highly recommend Kingsford pellets to all grilling and smoking enthusiasts. They will definitely elevate your culinary game to a new level.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Yummy Really like these pellets. I think they gave the food nice tastes. The only thing against it is that I feel Like while using these pellets it took the grill (trarger) longer to heat up.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Pellets I needed to add pellets to the Traeger before I cooked dinner. I grabbed these and added em. Dinner turned out with a great flavor and I would say these are comparable to the other brands.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worked great in Traeger & added flavor These worked great as pellets in our Traeger! My husband was hesitant about using any other brand but we’re glad we did! No issues, worked great, added a little hickory flavor to meat and definitely a much more affordable option for us! Highly recommend and will be using again!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Impressed I’ve never seen the pellets before. Kingsford use to be a staple product when we had a charcoal grill. Definitely surprised by this product. The price is on par with the other pellets that are out there. I can’t say that this will make us change the brand we currently use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very great My husband loves using these on his pellet smoker. The meat he grills always comes out astonishingly good and he has zero malfunctions with these pellets! Highly recommend for their reliability and consistency!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Add amazing flavor If you have a pellet grill, you must try this product. It makes a big difference and adds deep flavor into grilling. It has no additives so you can comfortably serve it to the whole family!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Subtly smoky We have had a pellet smoker/grill for a few years now and love trying new pellets to see if they impart flavor and enhance the experience. These pellets were perfect -- a nice subtly smoky flavor, not overpowering (some of our fam doesn't like when things are "too smoky" so this was a hit for everyone) We've made burgers and steaks so far and definitely want to use these to grill some veggies!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great smoke and flavor Great product for beginner or expert smokers. Cost about $20 for almost 5 more pounds of product compared to other well known pellet brands. Adds the perfect flavor to your smoked meats. It does require a little more heat to get it to the perfect temp and creates more ash compared to other products and also isn’t as a strong of a flavor compared to others but is definitely a great sub.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Smells great! We used these pellets to make steak and the Smokey flavor was amazing and not strong! Using a smoker helped preserved the juiciness of the meat. It works well with low and high heat. Will definitely be using this more in the future.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect to use I received this product for free from Influenster and Kingsford for my honest opinion. My husband has been using these since we got them. The pellets give the meat just the right smoky flavor.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Smoker pellets We have a pit boss smoker that we use all the time, so we were very excited to receive these to try. We could definitely taste the difference of the smoke flavor from the last brand we were using and most definitely will be buying in the future.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worked great, great flavor! I did a cold smoke with these Kingsford hickory pellets. These gave a great flavor to my ch6ild smoked items and work just like the other brands I've used!
