bland flavor

I bought this a week before Thanksgiving. I smoked a turkey for 12 hours. The meat had a good smoke ring but no real smoke flavor. The pellets were in good shape and there was not much dust. Just no real smoke flavor. It was kind of bland.

Hello, and thank you for reviewing the Traeger Cherry Pellets. If you’re not getting the flavor that you expected, there are a few things that you can try for increasing the results. While a 12 hour cook would have exposed the turkey to a good amount of smoke, doing a good part of it below 225 degrees will help create more blue smoke, which is the preferred type for smoking. Plus, when wrapping meat, consider using butcher paper instead of foil, since paper allows better smoke penetration while still keeping moisture intact. Traeger does have options for this available, and you can find the Traeger Pink Butcher Paper by just searching for its item number (BAC427). But probably the biggest improvement you can make is using the Traeger Turkey Blend Hardwood Pellets, Orange Brine and Turkey Rub Kit (search PEL351). This kit includes an artisanal mix of maple and hickory pellets, accented with a hint of rosemary that works perfectly with any type of foul, while the brine and rub will keep the meat from drying out and add the flavor results that you have been missing.
