What woods are in the Five Star Blend?

It is a blend of hickory and oak American hardwoods. The exact ratio is not published.

Can I use these pellets in a gas or charcoal grill?

Yes, in a smoker tube. They are made for pellet grills but work in a tube to add smoke to gas and charcoal cooking.

Are there fillers or binders?

No. The pellets are described as 100% all-natural hardwood.

How does it compare with a pure hickory pellet?

Hickory gives a stronger, sharper smoke; the oak here softens it. Choose pure hickory if you want maximum smoke punch.

Our take on the Expert Grill Five Star Blend Wood Pellets - 20 lb

The Expert Grill Five Star Blend is a 20 lb bag of all-hardwood pellets built on hickory and oak, two classic barbecue woods. It is sold as 100% natural hardwood with no fillers or binders, so the smoke is straight wood. It suits pellet grill owners and anyone using a smoker tube on a gas or charcoal grill. Against single-wood bags, the blend aims for a middle ground: hickory's strong smoke tempered by oak's milder, longer burn. Owners rate it well overall, though some find the smoke flavor lighter than a pure hickory pellet.
