[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received a bag of Cookin Pellets that has hickory, cherry, apple and maple pellets. I think it would of been better if maple was not with all the rest. Maple just does not fit with the hickory. It does not taste horrible but not as good with just Hickory or without Hickory and use maple with the others. I think they play against each other. But I do love the cherry and apple. We smoked a brisket in did not taste bad, the maple came throw over ride the other flavors. But it not so bad it can't be used just taste is different.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 40 lbs of maplewood apple mash pellets lasts for many smoked feasts. I like that these pellets have no fillers such as bark. The aroma is subtle and sweet. I like that it is not an overpowering taste. My backyard smells amazing when using this in my smoker. I made a ham with these and the taste was a huge hit with my family. I did soak my pellets for a few minutes before use. I feel it extends smoke time. I highly recommend this. I also feel this can be used with any type of meats.
