Royal Oak Charcoal Pellet 20.4 lb Bag

Our take on the Royal Oak Charcoal Pellet 20.4 lb Bag

Royal Oak Charcoal Pellets are charcoal in pellet form, sold in 20.4 lb bags. The pellet shape is the main draw: it feeds through hopper-style pellet grills and gravity-fed charcoal setups that choke on lump charcoal, and it burns more evenly than irregular lump. Royal Oak is a well-known charcoal brand, but this is a niche product, so check that your grill or smoker is rated for charcoal pellets before committing. Rivals in this space are few, and most pellet users still run hardwood pellets, which light and flow more predictably.

Questions and answers

Will these work in my pellet grill?

Only if your grill's manual lists charcoal pellets as an approved fuel. Many pellet grills are rated for hardwood pellets only, and using charcoal pellets can void the warranty or jam the auger.

How do charcoal pellets differ from hardwood pellets?

They are made from charcoal rather than compressed sawdust, so they give a charcoal-style flavor and burn differently. Expect a different lighting routine and heat profile than hickory or oak pellets.

How much fuel is in one bag?

Each bag weighs 20.4 lb. The listing does not state burn time, so plan on roughly the same fuel weight per cook as you would use with hardwood pellets and adjust from there.

Can I use these in a standard kettle grill?

They are pellets, so they are awkward in a kettle without a pellet basket or chimney setup. They suit hopper-fed and gravity-fed cookers far better.

Where are they made?

Canada, according to Royal Oak. The part number is 800-000-285 if you need to match it to a retailer's listing.

Does the package say what wood is blended in?

The available product information does not list a wood type. Check the bag itself for the blend and any lighting or storage instructions before use.
