All around the world, Hickory is easily the most popular wood for smoking. Compared to our 100% Hickory pellets, this blend of 60% Oak and 40% Hickory provides a good balance between smoke and heat, making it difficult to “over smoke” your food. Over-smoking food results in a bitter taste, however that is not a concern with the Hickory blend. Lumber Jack Hickory Blend wood BBQ pellets are good for everyday grilling and long overnight smokes, and are particularly great with beef, pork, seafood, poultry and game birds.
