When I can find it, pecan on pretty much everything. A lot of that is out of laziness because I feel like it's the best all around. Otherwise, hickory or sometimes the Traeger blend when Costco has it.

I am a big fan of Lumberjack's 100% pecan and 100% mesquite. I usually run those at a ratio of 2/3 mesquite to 1/3 pecan. I love it.

I didn’t know you could get those two non blended.

Yes, and they are great. You usually pay a little more for the non blended, but for me it is worth it!

Lumberjack MHC, though for my last buy I bought more than a few bags of 100% pecan and I must say I love the flavor. It may be my favorite very soon.

Cookinpellets.com 100% hickory.  I've used several other brands of 100% hickory and none compare.  it's the only pellet i can tell makes a differnce in smoke flavor.

I like hickory.  I have issues getting 100% hardwood pellets at a decent price here in South Alabama.   So I am trying different brands.  When I had a stick smoker I used nothing but pecan.  But with the pellet smoker I want more smoke, so hickory is my choice.

We usually buy by the pallet here, Run up to the Lumberjack factory in Hayward Wi & pick them up.

I find that overall I like to mix 100% Hickory & 100% Apple together. Try to get a 50/50 blend.

Last pallet buy I got a couple small bags of Hickory/Charcoal pellets. Enough to smoke a couple pork butts. Oddly enough I really liked them! And am going to get more in the next buy.

I just did a test cook with the char blend pellets.  Cut a brisket flat in half and cooked half with 100% Hickory and half with the Char blend.  The difference was subtle, but both my wife an I preferred the char blend over the 100% hickory.
