No, Eddy's pellets are not from Traeger. They are his own brand.
Eddy's don't have that nasty Alder smell. His are Oak based.
Good point, FF.
CS doesn't sell the Traeger pellets with the Alder. Traeger has another plant and I believe it's Oak, not Alder based, so what they told me is that what CS sells are the Oak Traeger pellets.
FE's gets them done by someone else. I heard he was getting out of the pellet business, but haven't talked to him lately.

How do you tell the difference? between the alder pellrts and oak pellets? the pellets i got with the cookers from CS did not smell right , ordered anthor brand ,nite and day difference! i still have a few bags of treager pellets but wont use them till i know if their oak, not alder. happy holidays everyone!!!!!!!
Cookshack only sells oak based pellets. If you have any other questions about the pellets feel free to give us a call at 800.423.0698
Since when? My understanding was if you were west of the Mississippi, you got west coast pellets. I've got 2 bags I <might> use if they are oak based. Thanks!
Well I ordered 3 bags of fast eddy pellets and i got 3 bags of traegers. checked against an old bag of traegers from a local store and seems to be identical as far as where there from. Little disapointing, was expecting something different.
When you say you ordered Fast Eddy pellets,were they ordered from Eddy?
Since Eddy doesn't have his UPS connection set up yet,I wouldn't think he would be sending small shipments.
We, also understand that the pellets made east of the big river are oak based.

OK My bad, while going through CS product page clicking through FEC100s and such, I "assumed" they were the fast eddy pellets, I sent cookshack a email, etc, they are traegers,but there different than the ones from the local store, did a cook with them and definatly different. actually smokier? or am I just getting that damn good LOL
I used the new Traegers a couple times and didn't have any negative response to them,for whatever that's worth.

Eddy sells his own brand, but not through Cookshack. You have to buy directly from him.
I have a Traeger commercial smoker/grill and the Traeger pellets do not have a strong enough smoke flavor for me, so I switched to BBQr's Delight pellets and they are much better! Traeger uses Alder and BBQr's Delight uses Oak for the filler. I prefer the 100% pellets from Epps Farms, but the freight is too costly from Kansas to NC.
