Tell me about your experience with the new pellets

[Big Poppa]

for those of you who have bought the charcoal pellets and the wine soaked oak...what do you think? What have you found that they work expecially well with?

I got a bag of the Charcoal when it first came out... Very little visible smoke output, but you do get that 'charcoal' flavor like cooking over lump, etc. If I use it now, I mix it with hickory or something else.

It does have some serious BTUs! (and lays down a pretty smoke ring)

I've used the wine soaked oak with turkey and beef now. Real nice flavor. You can tell you are burning old wine casks..

I love the wine soaked oak with beef. The smell is incredible.

Wine soaked with beef and lamb is excellent, have done several tri tips and a leg of lamb with nice results. Planning on ordering the charcoal next.

Have bought the charcoal pellets from BP and like the flavor especially on burgers and dogs. I just placed a order for wine soaked oak pellets yesterday. The Charcoal pellets do burn faster than the hickory and the peach that I have. I mixed charcoal and hickory the other day on a cook and it worked really well..

The wine soaked oak pellets are great!
I've used them on beef,pork and chicken with good results. I'll be using them on jerky soon too.
In my case I had to bust up the pellets some so they wouldn't jam the auger.

My wife just ordered a bunch of pellets from Big Poppa and now I'm wishing she would have added a wine soaked bag a well....I guess I'll have to place another order oh darn!

Used both. The wine soaked has a nice smell to it and the charcoal smell like the weber is going next to the MAK. Would have no issues using again. But that has been my experience with any of the BBQ Delight brand. Not so much with others. I have actually throw pellets in the trash from other vendors.

We have a bag of charcoal that I am dying to try out...thinking a couple of ribeyes are in order!

 

[Thom Emery]

I got to try both actually a combo cook sounds like a winner with those two flavors

I tried the winesoaked on a beef chuck roast which was a long cook. I found the taste to be a little overpowering. I think on a shorter cook, like a rib roast they will be great. On long cooks i would recommend cutting with a milder wood.

Tried the charcoal and liked them. My wife is not a huge fan of much smoke in food but she seems to like these. I did not notice any higher btus while using these or less ash but my Yoder has been a little temperamental. I would love to the wine soaked oak pellets.

When I used the wine-soaked pellets in my Treager, I had problems with the pellets locking the auger up when a pellet would get caught between the auger opening and the auger at the bottom of the hopper. The regular pellets are softer and the auger just breaks them, but the wine-soaked are a lot harder.

Going to order some Oak pellets later.
