I just tried out the oak pellets and I'm a fan. I've been using Weber pellets and there's a huge difference in comparison. Bear mountain pellets are bigger in size. They burn slower and there's a lot less ash. My smoker actually smelled like smoked wood afterwards. I always got a weird funky smell afterwards with   the other pellets. Definitely worth buying a bag to try them out for yourselves. I will be trying other Bear Mountain pellets.
