Title: Cabela's Pellets
Post by: Soldier17 on January 30, 2018, 05:59:15 PM

Has anyone tried Cabela's Wood pellets? I know they are on the pricier side, but the peach/pecan wood blend sounds good.

I'm pretty sure they're made by lumberjack, but I've never tried them.

I don't know who makes them but I have cooked with them from time to time.  Always thought that they were a good quality pellet.  We have a large Cabela's store about 10 miles away and I would always pick up a bag or two when they would be on sale. 

Since switching to Lumberjack though, and what I am paying for them, I never bother with any other pellets now.

I had read somewhere too that they were made by Lumberjack.

I have used them for cold smoking only and I like them.  I will pick up a bag of the pecan and peach next time I am in the store.  They have had them on offer for $4 off when you purchase two of the same kind in the past.

Thank you for the input! I will have to pick up a couple bags and try them out.

They are produced by Lumberjack plant using the same raw materials that Lumberjack uses in their pellets.  However the mixes and combinations are unique to Cabela's and proprietary to them.

Looks like they are $15 for 20lbs at Minnesota locations. The Competition Blend is hickory and apple.

The individual wood flavors are apparently 100% with no fillers.

The price is about double what I pay for Lumberjack.

I am probably way out of the loop on pellets, cuz I just buy what I can find cheap, so maybe there are many that use this wood now...But they would be the only Manufacture besides BBQr's Delight that I have seen use this wood if your statement is correct.

I am using the peach/pecan today.   I have some baby back ribs on now using those pellets.  Will know more in a few hours if the MAK gets to them as I dumped them on top of what was already in the hopper.

B-Lew,
How did the peach/pecan pellet work out?
