Pinnacle Pellets

Only if you like the taste of fir smoke. Fir is a conifer (pine). It's funky. Besides these are not food grade pellets. And, where can you buy these in Central Florida? They are made in BC.

Never hear of them. We live in the Orlando area. We are getting more and more pellet cookers down here. I wish there was a place if we ran out that we could go and pick up a bag if needed.

Do NOT use Fireplace pellets in an FE. The pellets for those have a different filler, I'm told, which is not certified as "Food Safe".

Maybe one of the pellet sellers will come in an explain.

I'm not a pellet "seller" -- be a pellet "maker"! Well, not me personally, but I do know how it's done...

Two things make "Food Grade" pellets. Using only vegetable oil to lubricate the pellet machine and only the best quality saw dust to make the pellets. Food grade pellets are 100% flavor wood pellets (for smoke on any cooker) and blended pellets for pellet-fired cookers. When we make these pellets, the sawdust never hits the ground. Pellets don't either and go from manufacture to cooling bins straight into the bag.

Even heating fuel pellets come in different grades. Premium grade produces the least amount of ash. Hardwood pellets have more BTUs per # than softwood pellets (pine, fir, etc) and less ash too. Oil that is a petroleum based is used for lubrication. Heating fuel doesn't have to indicate what kind of wood or woods are in it. Ash & BTUs are the important thing. Oh and length of pellet. The "what's in there?" is the problem with using heating fuel in a cooker.

Thank you, that's what I wanted to know.

Candy Sue I saw you selling pellets at the Jack. Wouldn't that make you a Pellets seller also??

I use heating pellets all the time with no ill efects . Just my 2 cents

KP -- hope you never do have any -- ill effects, that is. You do good at contests too. I just wouldn't do it.

Yes, I sell pellets that's my job here. But, many sales people sell but don't have anything to do with manufacture of their products. I do grocery trade shows and that's a big thing if you manufacture or have a co-packer do it.

Didn't make a dime at Jack! Gave away over 9,000 samples.

We didn't get any samples (

KP,

Where do you get them from, I would like to contact that company. Also,do you use them straight or mixed.

Thanks

Candysue,
What does the length of the pellet do? I sure wish I could take a field trip to see how they're made. By the way, we are very happy with your pellets.
