Our take on the Apple Wood Pellets, 20 lb

These are 100% apple hardwood pellets in a 20 lb bag, made for pellet grills and smokers. Apple is a mild, sweet fruitwood, so it suits poultry, pork, fish and vegetables better than heavy beef cuts. Compared with hickory or mesquite pellets, the smoke is gentler and the flavor less assertive. The bag is a standard size, so you get a moderate amount of fuel rather than a bulk supply.

Questions and answers

What foods do apple pellets work best with?

Chicken, pork, turkey, fish and vegetables. The smoke is mild and slightly sweet, so it complements lighter meats. For brisket or ribs, many cooks prefer hickory or a blend.

Are these pellets suitable for any pellet grill?

Yes, they are standard hardwood pellets for pellet grills and smokers. Check your grill's manual for any brand-specific pellet requirements.

Do apple pellets give a strong smoke flavor?

No. Apple is one of the mildest fruitwoods. Expect a light, sweet smoke, and use a stronger wood or a blend if you want a heavier flavor.

How long does a 20 lb bag last?

It depends on your grill and cooking temperature. A typical pellet grill burns roughly 1 to 2 lb per hour at smoking temperatures, so a bag covers several cooks.

Are these pellets all natural?

They are described as 100% natural apple hardwood with no added flavorings. Avoid storing them damp, since moisture makes pellets crumble.
