Rated 4 out of 5 by from Nice hickory flavor to them I was impressed with these pellets. They definitely have a good hickory flavor to them. Gave the wings I cooked a nice flavor. They burn reasonably slow which is good. I’ll purchase them again.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Works well, but not Traeger I had zero hopes for this compared to Traeger brand items. But I was pleasantly surprised. There’s just subtle differences between this and the Traeger brand, which is why I didn’t give it a five and why I don’t know that I would switch completely over to it, but it is a very worthy competitor. The usage seems the same. No noticeable difference. The smell is different and the actual Hickory flavor is much lighter to me. But, would say this is a worthy competitor.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Yummy! My husband smoked pork ribs on a low setting for 6 hours on Super Bowl Sunday and they were a huge hit at our friends house! The flavor was beyond amazing. We used a pork butt seasoning we have and then he added some cayenne to kick it up. The hickory pellets brought out the peppery flavor to the cayenne and really took the flavor up a huge notch! The ribs were still juicy and meaty. With a nice crust on the outside. We own a Weber smoke fire. I highly recommend these pellets from Kingsford and will be trying out other options they have. Super grateful to receive this product for free for my honest opinion. Check out my pics and video included. Highly recommend you try these pellets if you have a pellet grill!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Decent pellets These pellets produced some smoke but burned extremely fast. We had to refill the smoker multiple times (more than we do with our usual pellets) while cooking for the Super Bowl. Annoying but they got the job done!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works well We have a Traeger and these pellets seemed to work well. They had a good flavor and came up to heat as the Traeger pellets did as well. Overall, I would recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Delicious hickory flavor approved We made smoked pork that had the kids drooling with the smells wafting through the air. • Not only was it cooked to perfection but the taste it provided the pork was the exact touch to elevate the flavors of the meat itself. • Now it’s your turn! What will you be grilling or smoking with your very own bag of @kingsford pellets? • I’m thinking zucchini or corn is next on my list. •

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Throw away your liquid smoke Every bit of smoke saturated the dry rub ribs and chicken I put on the smoker. I have used other brands before but for whatever reason this bag of pellets must have been blessed. I love a good hickory smoke in any BBQ. I made hickory smoke pork candy, smoked lamb, and I am ready to try my hand at a brisket this week. I can't wait because everything else tasted amazing!
