Will these work in a Traeger or other pellet grill?

No. Kona says these are not designed for hopper-fed pellet grills. Use them in the Ninja Woodfire, a smoker tube or over charcoal.

What does hickory taste like?

Bold and savory with a lightly sweet, bacon-like richness. It is the strongest of the common barbecue woods, so it suits pork and beef best.

Can I mix it with other woods?

Yes. Pairing hickory with apple or cherry softens the edge, which works better for chicken and lighter meats.

Only 100% hickory hardwood pellets, food grade with no fillers or additives, in a resealable bag.

How long does a bag last?

Kona estimates about 80 cooks from an 8 lb bag, since each Ninja Woodfire session uses only a scoop or two.
