Pellet Comparison Test

(1/3) > >>

Mad Scientist BBQ did a comparison of 6 different pellet brands cooking brisket.  They did a reasonably good job controlling the experiment.  The YouTube of the test is here:

The results are summarized here:

I was a bit surprised by the results.  Traeger Gourmet did very well compared to the other brands.

I'm skeptical about Traeger doing that well.  Especially since their flavors don't come from the wood.

I've used Traeger Gormet pellets quite a bit and liked the results.

I didn't think anyone here used them after knowing that for example;  Their Cherry pellets don't have Cherry wood in them.
Unless they have changed and don't add oils for flavor, I wouldn't buy them.   :2cents:

To be honest, except for how they burn, I can't tell the difference in flavor between brand of pellets. As long as they produce heat and smoke and minimal ash, I use them.
