Can I use these in any pellet grill?

Yes. Royal Oak says the pellets are safe for all pellet grills. Expect the grill to run a little differently than it does on blended wood pellets.

How do these differ from regular wood pellets?

They are 100% hardwood charcoal with no filler wood, additives or coatings. Regular pellets are usually a base wood blended with flavor wood, so these give charcoal taste and higher heat instead of a specific smoke profile.

Are they good for low-and-slow cooking?

Royal Oak rates them for both hot-and-fast and low-and-slow cooks, and they work for pork, beef, chicken, fish and vegetables. The charcoal flavor is strong, so go lighter on mild foods.

Do they really resist clogging the auger?

The pellets are made water-resistant to help prevent clogs. Keep the hopper and pellets dry anyway, since moisture is the usual cause of jams.

Our take on the Royal Oak 100% Charcoal Pellets

Royal Oak 100% Charcoal Pellets are hardwood charcoal formed into pellet shape for use in pellet grills. Unlike the blended oak-and-flavorwood pellets most grills run on, they are all charcoal with no fillers or additives, so they push charcoal flavor and high heat rather than a smoke profile from a named wood. They suit cooks who want steakhouse-style searing and charcoal taste from a pellet grill, and they work for low-and-slow sessions too. The water-resistant coating is meant to keep the auger from clogging in damp conditions.
