Recently decided to try Bear Mountain in my Traeger. Have used Cherry and the Blend. These pellets burn hotter with far less ash than Traeger Pellets, and have a much more natural flavor. Even better is the great customer service when you buy direct from Bear Mountain. Delivery is fast, well packaged and arrives intact. The personal service and integrity of this company is amazing. I had a minor shipping problem with one of my shipments...one call and they rushed a replacement and made an adjustment to make me happy. Love Bear Mountain and their products!
