Just a note on pellets: don't se the heating pellets as they often include strange sources of wood like wooden floors and old 2x4s etc. Only use cooking/smoking grade pellets. Also some manufacturers use oils to scent their pellets and they are not as good as ones that just use the proper sawdust. I have had good luck in my vertical smoker with the PitBoss Brand you used in the video.
I just tried this in my charbroil big easy infrared gas grill before I saw your video and I was totally impressed with the flavor. I might never go back to wood chips. I use Kingsford hickory, oak, and cherry blend on baby back ribs.
Thanks for this as it’s REALLY great and helpful advice - just bought myself four different flavoured sacks of pellets (similar to the one in your vid) and can’t wait to try them out.
Yes I tried to wood pellets for the first time last night I smoke some ribs and they turned out really really good I like the video keep up the good work
Thank you for the research. I have been toying with this idea. I picked up a "smoke tube" that is said to give up to 5 hours of smoke. I haven't gotten there yet. I'm thinking the qualifier is "up to." Thanks again!
You safe me some money and time for sure. I have a small Traeger smoker and still have a big bag of pellets. I just bought a Kamoto Joe Classic and I want to smoke some ribs but had no wood. Good thing I check out if I can use the pellets, thanks.
Lately I have been getting very small wood chunks from my local store. My son wants pulled pork tomorrow. Don’t think those small chunks will work well for a long cook. Bought a bag of pellets and I going to roll with your method tomorrow.
Thanks very much for this video. I’d just bought a bag of these pellets by mistake thinking they were regular wood chips & was worried that they wouldn’t work on the Big Green Egg when I got home & realised what I’d done. I’m very happy that you had a successful cook & Im going to go ahead & cook with confidence that the results will be awesome. Thanks again. 👍🏽
Good video with useful information. Wasn’t a fan of the random sound effects, I like humor and all but not when it comes to an informative video. Thanks again
I did buy pellets for my smoker box to use on my gas grill but now that I have purchased a Dyna Glow offset vertical smoker I was going to use them, but then I keep hearing about clean smoke versus dirty smoke. Isn't the whole purpose of smoking to get that smoky flavor in your meats? I bought wood chunks and they caught fire like they should and as soon as I closed the firebox door the flame dies down and they begin to smoke and smolder. It could be a problem with my chimney being to restrictive because I feel I have enough of an opening in my firebox vent to draw in air but maybe not enough draw through the chimney. Either way I'm going to try the pellets. Like I said before, I was going to try it but now that I've seen your results, it's a go. Thank You for posting this video.
I think there is more variety in what you can buy for wood pellets right now, than chunks of wood, and from that side it is better. But, as far as ease and the level of smoke you can get out of them, PASS THE PELLETS, PLEASE!!!
Great review thanks! Would this work on a offset smoker or would wood chips or chunks be best for that? My grandfather purchased a wood smoker a few years back he used it once then passed away unfortunately months later. I had no idea he had one until I visited my grandmothers this past weekend and saw it rusting away in the backyard. Long story short I’m going to try and restore it this weekend and test it out. Unfortunately it is a very cheap smoker but either way I figured I’d give it a go.
Seems the pellets create what most would call a dirty smoke, giving the meat a bitter taste. I'll have to try it sometime and learn for myself. Thanks for posting.
Lol I actually didn’t mind the sound effects - it did get distracting but I’ve been watching a lot of bbq vids recently that DIDNT use more than a few clips
Yes, it makes them last a tiny bit longer, but with a BGE it's not the same as with a stick burner (where you have to soak). That is one of the reasons I tried the pellets, I may never go back! Stay safe out there!
ronnyk888 I think the sound effects are the best part. I don’t see how they take the video away from. Don’t stop making sound effects @backdraftbbq I guess not everyone has to like them. But I LOVE them!!
A great benefit of pellets is that they will fit between the gaps in the grate! therefore you can add more wood without pulling the grate!
Good video overall, however, the sound effects are annoying. I'll have to try this method using the pellets- good idea !
Thank you! Sorry my teenager did my editing, the new videos have much less 🤣
😂😂😂 nah keep it in it’s hilarious
Thank you very much, you just gave me a great option, It's very hard for me to find wood where I live

100 percent agree! The heating type will have demo debris and junk in them.
Thnx. I bought the cherrywood pellets based off your video. I’m a try them today. Thnx for the review.
I left a message earlier and I was using a charcoal grill with the wood pellets and it all turned out good my ribs turned out awesome
Great video editing. Informative and entertaining

So I'm using pellets on my offset smoker and seems good, I decided to look for a video and you have the only one!
Awesome!!

Great informative video! It answer my question regarding the use of pellets on charcoal.....thanks!

Right on
Excellent video review ...... I hate buying wood chips & chunks ..... I’ll buy a bag-o-pellets! Thanks!!
Ditto!
Every-time I’ve tried this the meat came out bitter.
And these pellets are excellent for kitty litter too 😊
That’s incredible! Definitely going to have to try that!👍

Great video buddy. Thanks, I figured pellets would work. Now I know for sure. The purists are the one who’ll miss out. Subscribed.
Love the sound effects
Always wondered how pellets would perform on charcoal. Thanks for the vid!!!
You bet

You can tell how good your relationship is with your boy in the video. That’s awesome. Gonna try pellets this weekend.
Subscribed after this video!!! 🤙 Thanks!
Awsome, going to try this method! Thanks
Hope you like it!
Going to try
Hope you enjoy, you will never go back once you do!
Just what I wanted to know. Would you say it tastes better than the wood?

Yes they would, you can use them in place of wood chips or chunks. Have fun experimenting!
Backdraft BBQ Great thanks!

Surprisingly they don't! I was blown away.
I’ve tried this and that’s exactly what happened. Every time I tried it came out bitter... :-(
Just check out ur channel having trouble with brisket
Hello, do you soak the pellets??
NEVER - if you soak wood pellets they turn to sawdust. Just put them right on the coals, it will work great!
We have electric smoker with this the wood pellets
On the bags for the pellets it says they cause cancer.
On bags of charcoal, it also does the same, smoking, and grilling meat contains carcinogens
Lose the random, loud, obnoxious sound effects. They do nothing for your content. Just giving you an honest review.
I know, the new videos dont have any. sorry!!

Just discovered your videos. I usually soak my wood chips before the cook. Have you done that with wood chips or chunk before?
Yes, it makes them last a tiny bit longer, but with a BGE it's not the same as with a stick burner (where you have to soak). That is one of the reasons I tried the pellets, I may never go back! Stay safe out there!
Soak them in what?

nice to know... but what the hell is going on with these sound effects??? LOL it's worse than a radio station
I know, the new videos dont have them. That was my teenager helping...
@Backdraft BBQ great content! The odd sound effect can be fun; I did enjoy them!
Thanks for the video. The sound effects take away from it.
ronnyk888 I think the sound effects are the best part. I don’t see how they take the video away from. Don’t stop making sound effects @backdraftbbq
I guess not everyone has to like them. But I LOVE them!!
Some do, some don't. Its hit or miss. But stay funky my friend.
Wood better
