Traeger Pellets ???

Former Member

Do Traeger pellets work OK in an FEC100? I've read in several places the debates about the brand/kind of pellets to use. Here in Phoenix we have a Traeger dealer who is a member of the state BBQ association. I'd like to give him my business but as a newbie pellethead I don't want to mess up my new toy either. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Have a FE here in Oregon, I pickup pellets at the Traeger plant in Mt. Angel. That is all we use and they work just fine.

Heading to Scottsdale tomorrow for X-Mas, forcast is 78 degrees, looking forward to getting warm and seeing blue sky after a couple of weeks of nasty weather here in Oregon.

Ryan - Thanks for the response. It's a little overcast and we are having an unhealthful air alert but indeed the forecast is for temps in the mid 70's. I really don't misss the Seattle/NW weather this time of year.

I now just run hickory pellets in the FE. The FE is so light on smoke they work good for everything.

Personally, I have to agree with Jack. I have never liked the Traeger pellets, both on taste and on composition. As such, I have been using pellets from Fast Eddy for the most part. I have also tried some from Candy Sue. Both were better in my opinion than Traeger.

No offense to you Duck. Just my opinion.

I don't care for the Traeger pellets either. They have a nasty smell when burning. I use Eddy's hickory. They are a "heavenly scent" Taste good, too.

Traeger pellets that came with my FE worked fine. When I was down to my last bag, I ordered some hickory/ pecan from Candy Sue.

My last bag of Traeger pellets will last a long time. I only use it when I am just making baked potatos.
