Your Favorite Pellets For Smoking Meat?

[LFD2037]

I ran out of pellets for my smoker & before I buy more, I'd like to hear your recommendation(s).
I'd prefer a pellet that's the actual wood of the 'flavor' they're advertising. I've noticed a lot of them are just oak w/some sort of additive to make the hickory, pecan, mesquite, etc.
So, what's your favorite?

Pecan, oak then hickory.

Regarding brands I have tried at least 4 and have not seen a difference.

Peeps on here have previously recommended Lumberjack pellets. Atwoods there in 'hachie sells em. Picked up some yesterday to try. They have pecan,mesquite,hickory and a competition blend which has cherry wood in it. Good price too.

I recently tried a bag of the Traeger Signature, a blend of Hickory, Cherry and Maple.
Only used it twice so far, first time was smoking fresh hatch peppers for freezing and the 2nd was a 4# beef roast.
We were impressed with the flavor it added

I like the Cabela’s competition blend

Lumberjack brand is the only brand I have found that doesn’t use filler wood. If it says hickory then it is made from 100% hickory fibers. Mesquite same. Pecan same. Etc... I believe their blends are made a little different but still use 100% wood fibers. It’s all I use. I’m about to smoke a spatchcock chicken with the supreme blend today. I caught it on sale so I thought I would give it a shot. Normally it’s 100% hickory for me. Good stuff!

I use RECTEC Ultimate Blend, very happy with them.

Quality, good price & local. I like this combo!

It’s still early days but I think I like the B&B Post Oak pellets best. Good smoke and the smell is great.

Can you list any others that are 100% ?
I’ve been looking to branch out a bit and try some others.

One thing I like about the B&B stuff is although they use filler wood, the filler wood is oak. Most of the others (pit boss, Traeger etc...) use Alder as the filler
