Our take on the Bear Mountain BBQ Pellets Hickory

Bear Mountain Hickory pellets are 100% hardwood hickory with no fillers or additives, sold in a 20 lb bag and made in the USA. Hickory is the strongest smoke flavor in the pellet lineup, so these suit pork, beef and poultry that can carry a bold, bacon-like smoke. They burn hot with low ash and hold steady temperatures across the 190F to 500F range. Compared with milder blends like apple or cherry, hickory is less forgiving on fish and vegetables, and the smoke can overpower light meats if you use it for a whole cook.

Questions and answers

Are these pellets 100% hickory?
Yes. The bag is all hickory hardwood with no fillers or additives, so the smoke flavor is pure hickory.
What meats work best with hickory pellets?
Pork, beef and poultry handle the strong smoke well. Fish and vegetables are easily overpowered, so use a milder wood for those.
Do these pellets work in any pellet grill?
They are standard-size BBQ pellets and work in most pellet grills and smokers. Keep the bag sealed and dry so the low moisture content holds.
How much ash do they leave?
Bear Mountain rates ash production as minimal, and owners back that up with less fire pot cleaning between cooks.

They hold stable temperatures from about 190F for low smoking up to 500F for grilling.
