Pit Boss Build-a-Blend 100% Mesquite Hardwood Pellets are a single-wood flavor pellet meant for blending your own smoke. Layer them over an Oak Base, adjust the ratio, and change it from cook to cook until you reach the flavor you want.
Mesquite gives a strong, earthy smoke with a heavy intensity. It suits beef and pork, such as brisket, ribs and steaks, for Texas-style barbecue. A little goes a long way, so use more for big beef and pork, or less to add backbone to a milder mix.
To build a blend, start with Oak Base, add Apple and any other 100% flavor woods, and mix them in a 5-gallon bucket. If you have a Pit Boss Competition Series grill, you can use a hopper divider instead. The pellets can also be loaded into a smoke tube for a quick boost of smoky flavor.
