Title: Traeger Turkey Pellets
Post by: Bar-B-Lew on November 05, 2019, 09:07:24 AM: I just saw an email from Traeger about their new blend, Turkey Pellets. While I appreciate what that brand has done for the industry and the weekly recipe ideas, I think a particular blend of pellets that someone thinks is going to knock their turkey smoke out of the ballpark seems a bit over the top to me. Let the marketing machine roll on...

Indeed you did. That was an important omission.

Maybe they call them "turkey pellets" for other reasons? Like rabbit pellets? :rotf:
