Lumber Jack Apple Flavor Wood BBQ Grilling Pellets, 20-Pound Bag (Discontinued by Manufacturer)
We are an actual manufacturing plant that uses real trees and processes them into our products. We are not a co-bagger that simply relies on another manufacturer that may use residue products impossible to tract to their original origins. A wood BBQ pellet is a small, 1-inch long, 1/4-inch diameter piece of hardwood. Because of their small size, wood pellets burn cleanly and quickly to a fine ash. Wood pellets burn at about 8500 BTUs per pound. Wood pellets come in a wide variety of flavors ranging from hickory and oak to cherry, apple or maple. The pellets in a normal pellet grill are fed from a storage hopper to a burning box at a controlled rate. This rate is adjustable based on whether you want a high temperature for grilling or a low temperature for smoking. Because of the automated feed of the wood pellets you can literallyturn the unit on, give it 10 to 15 mins to heat up, and be ready to grill in almost no time. This makes it as convenient as a gas grill but with the added flavor of hardwood cooking.Automation is also greatwhen it comes to smoking. You can smoke for-Hour in a temperature controlled environment with little work from you. It is also virtually impossible to get a flare-up on a pellet grill. On high a pellet grill will consume about 2-pound per hour. This would be the temperature you grill steaks and burgers at. You probably wouldn't want to have the unit running for a full-Hour. On the smoke setting it will consume about 1/2-pound per hour so if you plan on smoking for 10-Hour you will use 5-pound of pellets.OUR BBQ WOOD PELLETS ARE TESTED By an independent testing laboratory. Our pellets are subjected to ash analysis/chemical composition tests along with the standard ash by weight and heat value testing criteria.

What if a pellet maker using residual saw dust used some material that was OAK from ground oak pallets? What if the old oak pallets had antifreeze or chemicals spilled on the pallet and ground up into sawdust? Could you tell? Can the pellet mfg tell?IMPORTANT DISTINCTION IN BBQ WOOD PELLETS Lumber Jack Wood pellets are made by blending the fiber prior to making the wood pellet so that each pellet in the bag is the pre-blended variety or flavor. Most competitors merely blend the pellets so that there are some oak pellets in the bag and some flavor pellets in the bag. Depending on how the individual specie pellet is packaged , blended before packaging or poured into the bag in layers or double stream filling, there can be pockets of either variety and depending on the length of burn you may think your using a blend in that particular burn you actually used all one flavor or the other. Fluctuating species may have different burn characteristics and fluctuate in long burns/smoking of changes in temp and smoke creation. With Lumber Jack BBQ Pellets you are assured that each pellet is consistently the correct mixture. This provides a much better quality control measure to ensure you’re getting what you paid for. To some it makes no difference how they get a blend to us it’s a big deal with quality assurance consistency. We test the blend at the wood chip level and again at the ground fiber level and once again at the wood pelleted stage.BBQ WOOD FLAVOR WHAT GIVES THE WOOD A FLAVOR?
