Throw the Traeger Pecan Pellets into the auger for fuel and stick in a couple smoke tubes with the Smokin Pecan Pellets for the smoke.

[@TBH-Grillin]

Interesting thought.

[@gregorymoore1210]

You don’t need a smoke tube with these pellets

[@ShubaSalad]

@@gregorymoore1210I think they suggest to use a cheaper pellet for fuel and supplement with the Smokin’ Pecan pellets in a tube. Save a couple bucks that way.

[@gregorymoore1210]

@ if that’s tge case, you can do that with LumberJack CharHickory. The pecan pellets are my main pellet of choice now. I get the smoke I want. And if I want more, I either combine it with CharHickory IR pull out my DKS smoke box and burn two small chunks lump and my smoke wood of choice. Tubes are strictly for cold smoking now…

[@thomaskloszewski]

Hi guys, if I'm not mistaken I saw pecan pellets at the Walmart website, I hope that helps and thanks for the great videos.

[@TBH-Grillin]

I think those are wood pellets, using pecan wood. These are actual pecan shells that have been used to make pellets and only this one company (Smokin' Pecan) makes 'em. Thanks for tuning in!

[@mikesr3011]

Have you ever tried Knotty Wood brand pellets? If not, I suggest you check them out. They have a variety of good pellets, i.e. Almond wood, Plum wood and others. I'm liken' your videos. Just came across your channel and immediately became a subcriber! I just sold my Grilla OG am thinking about purchasing Searwood or a Camp Chef. Torn between the two.

[@TBH-Grillin]

Someone mentioned them but I haven’t tried them yet. Sounds like I need to! Thanks for subscribing! Regarding the new grill, the searwood is great but if the CC you are thinking of getting is the one with the built-in smokebox, it would be a real tough decision for me. That’s a really nice addition. However, does the CC also have rotisserie and griddle options? I love that about the SW.

[@mikesr3011]

@@TBH-Grillin You can use Cameron's "The Flip Professional Smoke Box" in the Searwood, problem solved? No rotisserie adapable to the CC. I'd rather have the rotisserie option 🐓 than the smokebox. Think my mind is made up.

[@MrPhoenix1800]

I got those smoke rings when I use a smoke box using wood chips in there. I’m going to try wood chunks next time cause I know bark has more lignins in there and that’s where you get that smoke flavor.

[@TBH-Grillin]

Yes, we are going to do a smokebox with charcoal and wood chunks at some point soon.

[@MrPhoenix1800]

@@TBH-Grillin I think you’ll like it, I think it adds a good amount of smoke flavor. I use three little charcoal briquettes and then wood chips they last about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. I’ll let you know if I get to use the wood chunks this weekend and if there is a big difference between wood chips or wood chunks.

How about another test where you mix these with a more moderately priced pellet. It's really hard to beat the 40lb bag of B&B for 20.00 @ Academy.

[@TBH-Grillin]

Great idea!

[@russellridge8623]

B&B should never cost more than $12 a bag. At least here in Texas. Decent pellets.

[@peterodriguez2364]

I'm tellin U guys.. u might try my cheap aluminum loaf pan trick and see where it takes U.. couple a holes on th sides n bottom.. ash over 3 or 4 coals then toss a wood chunk on. Set to th side away from the thermocouple or internal temp probe.. it may raise the internal temp of ur cook chamber so u might have to dial down the set temp.. anywhoo.. awesome job on th vid.

[@TBH-Grillin]

100% plan to do a smokebox-type thing inside the searwood soon!

[@SchoolHardKnocks]

Did you notice that the Smokin Pecan Shell Pellets burn more efficiently as well? Meaning they burn longer than wood pellets? I have mentioned this before, so your $32 for 20 lbs statement does not properly judge the $20 Weber pellets at 20 lbs. Also meat will stop absorbing smoke around 140 degrees internal temperature, so doing smoke boost at a specific amount of time is not correct. You should turn off smoke boost once the meat reaches 140, then increase the temperature to render fat & continue to build bark

[@TBH-Grillin]

I did not notice that it burns more efficiently but tbh I was not paying attention to that as I was so focused on the smoke! I will look into that next time, but that’s really good info for the community to know. I typically don’t like smokeboost for too long because I feel it dries out the meat, and like to go to 215-250 for the long part of the cook. But I take your point and will try it your way soon. Thanks for contributing!

[@SchoolHardKnocks]

Not all pellets are built the same way. Majority have fillers with some wood and oils to give off the flavor (hickory, cherry, etc.). When a bag has 100% Wood on the bag they are technically not lying, but most have a percentage of the actual wood. Most is a blend. Because of this construction the pellet will burn at a different rate. An example simplified might be: Pellet A burns 1 pellet per minute Pellet B burns 1.5 pellets per minute Pellet C burns 2 pellets per minute And so on… So if you pay $20 for 20 lbs of pellets and they burn 1.5 pellets a minute, it would be the same cost for $30 for 20 lbs that burns 1 pellet per minute. The Royal Oak Charcoal Pellets burn a lot longer than wood pellets, and Smokin Pecan Shell Pellets burn longer than wood pellets. The charcoal pellets burn the longest. They are only $16+ a bag. You could start off with 100% Smokin Pecan Shell Pellets (about 5 lbs) on smoke boast, the add a blend of 60% charcoal pellets & 40% Smokin Pecan Shell Pellets (about 15 lbs), for a slow & low cook. (Or a variation of this method) This way you get the full benefits of the tremendous smoke from the Pecan Shell Pellets and the efficiency of the blend of charcoal/pecan shell. Plus the cost savings of the charcoal out ways using a full 20 lb box of the Smokin Pecan Shell Pellets since the meat stops absorbing smoke flavor around 140 internal temperature

[@TBH-Grillin]

Great stuff my man!

[@markinstlouis]

That's one of the reasons I switched to Smokin' Pecan pellets. When you factor in how much longer they last (or how hotter they burn, depending on how you want to word it), it makes the price look a lot better. Add to that the better smoke, and I was sold.

[@TBH-Grillin]

@@markinstlouis we will be doing a burn comparison video soon!

[@dajuice7030]

Take a 5 gallon bucket. 2 parts pecan shells, 1 part Charcoal, 1 oak post, 1 part (fruit of your choice) I use knotty wood plum but that shit expensive.

[@TBH-Grillin]

Sounds good!

I think these pellets suck, i cant keep them lit they seem to be damp and I've tried to microwave them to no avail. I have to mix them with my other pellets 3 to 1
