Composition of Cookshack Fruitwood Pellets???

I typically suggest folks call sales,or service to get the correct answer,rather than a bunch of guesses.

But,in earlier days,those made by Traegar out in the NW used an alder base.Those east of the "Big River" were oak.
I believe CS uses oak on the woods we have gotten for the last few years.

% may vary on the fruitwoods?
Sales may know, if they come from a different manufacturer.

Hopethis helps a little.

Thanks Tom.

I did call customer Support this morning and was told that the Fruitwood pellets are 65% oak and 35% flavor wood, mostly apple and cherry but she could not be specific on the actual fruit woods.

I know a few years ago,another company in the manufacture side did their own study,as to BTU s,ash,efficiency,etc.

I know some that just go into a gas grill for flavor,etc can be up to 100% fruitwood.

In a woodburning cooker ,the other items had to be addressed.

Seems like about the CS blend is where they worked well.I'm guessing all the fruitwood is about the same %.

Shelly that's all you'll get. Has to do with what's available, that it is going to be one of those two woods, but it's not more specific that that. Could be one or both cherry/apple.

Thanks folks.

I received an email from Tony at Cookshack informing me that the blend is 80% oak and 20% either apple or cherry.

A little bit different, but neither mentioned the Hickory that is mentioned on the Cookshack web page description of the Fruitwood pellets.

In any case, I have been using oak for decades in my other smokers so really enjoy its flavor. With some apple or cherry added, it's all good.

My cold smoked salmon was the tastiest I have eaten in years.

I think in their message,oak was a given.

Hickory and pecan have been the nutwoods they have always carried.
