In order to produce a top quality BBQ pellet,  we do test burns of competitors BBQ pellets.  Not all BBQ pellets are equal.  When the fire pots begin filling up with ash we notice an increase in fuel usage due to the lack of airflow.  We’ve seen as much as a 30% increase in fuel use in as little as 16 hours time run between different brands.  We’ve also noted that there’s been an introduction of ‘air management’ systems.  This has been done to keep tighter temperature swings in the ovens.  Not only is ash covering air holes in the fire pot but now you’ve got less air being pushed into these pots.  Maintenance of these types of pits on a lower grade pellet needs to be cleaned more often than if using a higher grade pellet.  It’s our opinion that if it says Grilling Pellets Ultra Premium  brand on the bag you’ve bought the best BBQ pellet available on the market today.

What we discovered, in all the pellets tested, that we had the least amount of ash and the best BTU output in all of the pellets we produce.
