I grew up with my dad grilling with bits of branches cut fresh off a few old apple trees growing in our yard. The sweet flavor and smells that these pellets provide is the same if not better. I have used them for burgers, venison, smoking some ham steaks, pork chops, and chicken and all turned out excellent.

I've been very satisfied with the Apple Pellets. It gives a great added flavor to whatever meat you're smoking. I'll even use this on high heat to cook steaks and it turns out amazing.

Auger Fire and Almost Hopper Too
on October 30, 2021

First time to use Traeger apple pellets. Usually use hickory. Cleaned Traeger thoroughly pre-smoke which I always do. Fire pot was completely empty of ash and clean. After a few hours I noticed a little bit of smoke coming out of the hopper, but it was sporadic. After a couple of more hours, the Traeger was eating a lot of pellets and was having a hard time with big temp swings. Then the hopper started billowing smoke. I took the pork butt off and took everything apart down to the fire pot. It was full of what looked like ground up pellets and the fire was clearly being maintained back inside the auger several inches. No fire was in the firebox. Once everything cooled, I pulled out a big chunk of coagulated ash/pellet remains out of the firebox. Something isn’t right with these pellets. After checking recent reviews, others have had the exact same experience. Sticking to hickory until whatever this is has been addressed. This could’ve been really dangerous.

Great taste of smoky flavor added to chicken and pork, maximum temperature sustained at 447 within Trager Probe Tolerance, burns 1 whole hopper at max temp within 4 hours.
