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!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Top grade pellets I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. I was sent @kingsford pellets to use in my smoker. I emptied out the old pellets and put in this new 25 pound bag. Ran my smoker for around 18 hours for the bone in pork butt I had in that’s going to make some delicious pulled pork sandwiches and pizza. I was impressed by the pellets. They produced really good smoke and it was smelling amazing. I felt sorry for my neighbors.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice flavor We were glad to be gifted these pellets for the smoker. The hickory flavor is great for any type of food from fish or vegetables to steak. I also found it interesting that these pellets are made with no artificial flavors, fillers, binders, dyes, chemical additives or oils as well as made in the USA with North American Ingredients. We love the hickory but would also be interested in some of the other varieties of pellets that Kingsford makes, too. We would definitely buy these pellets again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Burns clean and smokey flavor These Kingsford Hickory Pellets worked great in our Trager Pellet Grill. We smoked Queso for our first time trying them. It turned out amazing! It was smokey and creamy all the way through. We filled the hopper and there was very little soot in the bag and all the pellets were intact. We also noticed a lot less soot in the grill as it cooked as well. I love that it comes in a 25lb bag. We did a 2 hour cook and barely put a dent in the pellets. We would definitely get them again and recommend them to friends and family!
