Our take on the Hickory Blend Hardwood Pellets - 40 lb

Pit Boss Hickory Blend is a 40 lb bag of all-natural hardwood pellets for pellet grills and smokers. Hickory is one of the stronger smoking woods, so this blend delivers a bold, aromatic smoke that suits beef and pork best and still works with poultry and vegetables. The pellets are made from North American hardwood with low moisture for a clean, consistent burn and little ash. Compared with milder fruitwood or competition blends, it trades subtlety for punch, which is why pitmasters reach for it on brisket and ribs.

It is built for low-and-slow beef and pork, such as brisket, ribs and pork butt. It also works with poultry and vegetables, though the smoke is strong.
Does it work in any pellet grill?
Yes. It is compatible with all wood pellet grills and pellet smokers, and can also be used in charcoal grills and smoke tubes.
