Bear Mountain BBQ 100% Natural Hardwood Alder Sweet Flavor Pellets for Smokers and Outdoor Grills, 20 Pound Bag

I probably would have difficulty identifying the exact taste of food smoked with the three brands of pellets I've used. What I can tell is quality of manufacture and packaging and consistency of product in terms of how many pellets are in the bag and how much sawdust there is at the bottom of the bag from disintegrated pellets. The Bear Mountain product met my expectations for quality and consistency and the smoke was, well, smoky and makes the food sweetly smoky and delicious, as you expect and hope. Price was in line with expectations and Amazon delivery was on time and in tact, as usual. I see no reason to purchase anything else for my smoking needs.

Ordered 6 bags of diff flavors of this brand. I have several company pellets and noticed the pricey ones are always smaller and more consistent in size. These match as well. Smaller pellets lead to better feed in the auger fed smokers. Have not tried the burn rate as of yet, but by looking at the pellets, looks good quality. Was not due to arrive for 2 weeks from mfg. Arrived in 1 week which is awesome! Good job Bear Mountain!

Had my doubts? I am a long time mesquite fan. Nothing better for beef. When I got my gas BBQ I had to figure how to get my mesquite smoke. I tried chips on a secondary level grill. Worked on my first gas BBQ. But when it wore out and I got my current BBQ there was no possibility of a secondary grill. Tried chips in a pan on top. Worked some. Bought a 'smoker box' designed for this purpose. They recommended pellets. I begrudging bought some. It worked. It worked good. Shame on me for doubting. When I bought more I bought these. Was surprised by how big the bag is. Will last a long time and will keep. Thanks Bear Mountain!

I used these in my treger smoker and they are by far the best pellets I have found. The smoke flavor is not at all over powering. Very consistent pellets with heat and the smoke.

I've tried a number of pellet manufacturers and have settled on Bear Mountain:- More smoke flavor than the others (although nothing like a stick burner using logs)- Very little sawdust in the bag- Very efficient burn in my smoker (Rec Tec)- I like the 20lb bags -- easier to handle than the 40lb'ers- The seller (VM Express) is awesome -- I have received "product has been shipped" notices literally 20 minutes after placing the order and the pellets arrive sooner than expected (couple three days)- The cost, especially with shipping, is very reasonable -- you want to be at less than a buck a poundJust did a full brisket with the Gourmet Blend -- awesomeness on a platter. I've also used the mesquite -- very nice.Check these out; you won't be disappointed.

The smell to me is hard to describe, but very, very pleasant. The smell and taste are sort of like all of the woods you like, but none are overpowering. I would highly recommend this blend to anyone. Cook anything with it, chicken, pork beef.The cool thing is that with a smoke tube, you can add good smokey flavor to any type of grill, even propane.I have pellet and wood/charcoal fired grills. In the charcoal grill I add a smoke tube, with this stuff. Yummy.EnjoyThe customer service of this company is excellent. I had a FedEx problem that was corrected over the phone. Very polite, very efficient. Good work!

L-o-t-s of smoke! The quality of this product is the best I have seen since it is all hickory with no fillers, something many of the other brands are missing. It is very easy to tell that those who produce this product, also do smoking themselves and appreciate high quality pellets.

I used this in a canister burner inside of an electric smoker. I’m almosr afraid to say how rich a flavor these produce as I fear everyone will buy them and the price will climb. Just opening the smoker made me smell wonderfully of sweet bacon all day. I actually kept sniffing myself. Mmmm. My dog sniffed me too. I saw something unsettling in his eye.
