Rated 4 out of 5 by from Works well We have ran these through our smoker a few times now. The smoky blend of mesquite wood is mild but still penetrates into the meat to give it a nice flavor. They are a medium burn with low ash which made for easier cleanup.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Taste Relatively new to the smoking world and these have been my favorite pellets I have used so far. Great tasting, especially on ribs. I am a big fan of the Memphis BBQ scene so I was excited to give this a try. They fully lived up to my expectations. You get a hint of rosemary and herbs which I liked

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Normally I use the smoking wood chips, but after using the pellets I won't be turning back. A little goes a long so I wasnt having to go back and constantly add more in. We used this particular pellet on a pork butt and it really added another layer of flavor my family and I couldn't get enough of

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Game changer! I have a really extensive outdoor kitchen and I love tinkering out there with new and different products. I knew I had to have thsse pellets as actual hickory wood to smoke with can be both expewanx difficult to find. This is amazing! And so incredibly convenient! Additionally I'm able to use these in my smoker box inside the grill. Amazing product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Flavor We just got these hardwood pellets for our smoker and we really like the flavor they give our meats when we use them. It has a nice hickory smoky effect. I especially appreciate that there are no artificial colors or flavors.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great smell and flavor! New to using pellet grill, I had a chance to try Kingsford's brand BBQ. Starting with opening the bag the smell of the flavored wood gave me the indications this was going to be good. It didn't disappoint, I had started with a good ground meat to make into nice big patties using our favorite seasoning. Using the flavored pellets got that wonderful flavor into the meat. I can't even begin to tell you how delicious our normal hamburger was. We found the only pellets for us.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great BBQ Pellets! If you're like me you have used Kingsford products for many, many years. Although what seemed to be missing was a pellet option. Wait no longer! This arrived in time for the holiday partner where we normally serve a prime rib. 4 hours slow smoked over these Kingford pellets worked AWESOME! Great flavor, not too smokey. Just right! Seems to burn as cleanly as some of the other SMOKER SPECIFIC BRANDS and offers great flavor. Looking forward to the next BBQ!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Takes your grilling to the next level! This is such an easy but great addition to your grilling repertoire. I can't believe I didn't start using these pellets years ago. I love how the flavors brought to your grilling from these pellets are real, authentic ones without anything artificial. They actually do elevate the taste - I was surprised at how much better my grilled meats tasted. So much so that I can't wait to try these with baking and roasting as well. Pick up a bag - you won't be disappointed.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Adds a great smoky taste to your bbq We tried the memphis bbq pellets over the weekend when we smoked some ribs, and I like how they turned out with these pellets. These cooks as well as any other pellet but the surprise was in the taste. These pellets provided a great tasting product with the smoky flavor that was not overwhelming.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great taste and long lasting pellets! I was excited to try these flavors pellets as it’s a genius idea! I upfront loved these use all natural flavors and they are made in the USA. The smell is amazing when cooking and in the different meats I smoked I did get a hint of extra garlic and sweetness. Nothing overwhelming but a hint of spice. I’ll always be buying the flavored pellets from now on! They are an easy way to add extra flavor with no extra steps!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great pellets I love the aroma these pellets produce. I used these in my pellet grill to make some roasted veggies and they came out great. They performed as well as my usual brand as far as temperature consistency goes. Pretty easy to recommend these.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice and Smoky! I have tried lots of different brands of pellets or the years. I started out using the cheap brands and wasn't so happy so I started experimenting with the more pricy ones. For the price I think these are very similar or maybe even better to some of the most expensive ones I recall buying. they are all mostly exactly the same size and seemed to keep a pretty even higher temperature through out my use of them. The smoke smelled especially enticing and flavorful at the lower temperatures. No nasty burnt taste on the food. I think these are really great especially at the price point. I'll definitely add these to my stock.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good pellets This is pretty decent stuff. Burns quicker than others I've tried. But is leaves a great smoke flavor in your food. The price is great! And that almost makes up for needing more than other brands. I will buy this again when my regular brand is not available.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great smell, great taste! I got a bag Kingsford Signature Hardwood pellets in the Memphis BBQ flavor in the mail to try. We used them in the smoker with Country Spare Ribs. The smell of the pellets with the ribs smelled amazing, and the Memphis BBQ taste was even better. The ribs tasted like they came from a professional restaurant smoked in a professional smoker. I can't wait to try other flavors.
