Used the Hickory pellets on some ribs... absolutely unmistakeable smell of Hickory... this is a 'childhood memory' smell for me... my grandfather had hickory trees and we used to crack the nuts with a ball peen hammer and eat them... I can remember when he'd trim the trees and burn the wood... that smell is very unique... I loved the result... the day after, when I cleaned my firepot, I could not help but notice it produces a very fine and clean ash. I can't wait to try the Cherry... Thanks for a great product.
I've tried several brands of pellets, including including those made by pellet grill makers, but my favorite is Bear Mountain. They seem to burn better, provide much better aroma and flavor than others, and customer service is great. I use them exclusively now and don't bother trying others.
