Has anybody used pellet such as Traeger in place of chips or chunks?

    My camp has a pellet stove, and I use them all the time for generic hardwood smoke.

    But I don't heat the place with cherry or apple, so if I want anything special, I use chunks.

    + one with the a-mazen smoker I made some andouille sausage and cold smoked it with Hickory pellets. Never thought to dump them on hot coals. I save them for cold smoking.

    traeger pellets, dont know how much of this is true but supposedly came right from traeger

    The base wood if you are on the west coast is alder and the east coast is oak.

     

    Mesquite or Hickory 100% base wood (alder or oak) with flavor oils no actual Mesquite or Hickory wood in the pellet wtf1.gif

     

    Apple, Pecan or Cherry 70% base wood 30% Apple, Pecan or Cherry wood

    Maple 100% Maple wood

    Alder on the west coast is 100% Alder on east coast 70% oak 30% Alder

    Oak on the east coast is 100% Oak on the west coast 70% Alder 30% Oak

    I bought a bag of both maple and Apple for when I cold smoke bacon. They were half off so no brainer. I use them all the time for regular smoking. Throw in a couple handfuls and you're good to go.
