In this video we're putting Smokin' Pecan pellets to the test against traditional pecan pellets. Can these 100% pecan shell pellets elevate your grilling game? Smokin' Pecan says their pellets produce a robust flavor that works wonders on everything from beef to veggies, but how do they really stack up against household names like Traeger?
In today's comparison, Kenyatta not only examines the color and quality of the pellets but also conducts a taste test to reveal if there truly is a notable difference in flavor between the two products.
👉 Don't miss the side-by-side cook-off: Smokin' Pecan's pellets made from pecan shells vs. the traditional blends that comprise the pellets from most brands. Experience the Smoke-off and find out if Smokin' Pecan's patent-pending formula brings that extra edge to your BBQ.
▶️ Watch now and decide for yourself if Smokin' Pecan's pellets are worth a look.

Thank you Kenyatta I’m gonna give them a try….love your videos!

[@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ]

Thanks Robert….. let me know what you think after you try them.

[@Rbouch]

@@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ Kenyatta….i sure will let you know but quite honestly only the LSG pellet grill gives true offset flavor. I’ve had so many pellet grills trying to achieve what only an offset smoker can achieve that I now either use my LSG offset or LSG pellet grill or my LSG adjustable charcoal grill/smoker…..unbeatable flavor every time. I also use my Weber Smokey Mountain and kettles…..true charcoal flavor and wood as you know can be added!

[@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ]

@Rbouch I believe it….. the LSG pellet smoker is on my wish list.

[@Rbouch]

@@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ you definitely won’t be disappointed!!!

[@WiscTJK]

I will never understand why Kenyatta doesn't get more views. His videos are super informative, well done, and in a very laid back style that I like.

[@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ]

Thanks Todd, I appreciate your comment. It’s a mystery to me too, but I’ll keep plugging along 😀

[@WiscTJK]

@@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ I'll keep watching and giving the thumbs up! That's the best I can do!

[@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ]

@WiscTJK Thanks, also feel free to share the video! I appreciate you!

I almost always use a smoke tube or two for my cooks. I tried the Traeger Pecan pellets on my (Canadian) Thanksgiving turkey and it was incredible! I used two smoke tubes with the Pecan pellets, and the Kirkland premium blend pellet as a fuel pellet. I would like to give the Smokin Pecan pellets a try soon though, and I'm interested to see how they stack up using smoke tubes. Great job displaying the difference in smoke production from each type of pellet!

[@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ]

A smoke tube is a great way to enhance the smoke flavor on a pellet grill. I hope you try the Smokin’ Pecan pellets. I’d love to know what you think.

[@markmulder4434]

Great video man I'm definitely trying the pecan shell pellets out

[@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ]

I’d love to hear what you think of them.

[@gregorymoore1210]

So I’ve got a box on order. Going to mix them in my pellet blend as I use Lumberjack CharHickory pellets.

[@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ]

Nice! I'd love to hear how that combo works out.

[@aldickey570]

I have been using them for 6 months now and they are absolutely awesome!

[@markinstlouis]

Just bought my first pellet grill, and, during my research on different pellets, came across an ad for these pellets. I greatly appreciate your side by side review. I'm going to have to give these a try!

[@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ]

Thanks for letting me know, I hope you enjoy Smokin' Pecan's pellets!

[@Cummins-smoke-team]

I’ve been on the fence about these with the extra cost. I am thinking I may have to invest in a couple boxes and give them a fair shake!

[@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ]

Sounds good! Don’t forget to use my discount code to save a little.

[@marksufferling9243]

Thank you for this comparison, I will pursue the pecan shell pellets. in my experience Traeger pellets seem to provide the least smoke flavor verses other brands, they also seem to come apart and revert back to sawdust in humid situations, jamming augers... so I don't use them anymore. Glad I found this video

[@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ]

Thanks for sharing your feedback.

Great video!!! Can’t wait to try the true pecans pellets ,Upon meeting you I didn’t know we shared the same passion for smoking meat besides our daughters being good friends.. btw I’m Jada’s dads ✊🏾

Oh wow, how cool is that! Glad to meet you (again) in the spirit of BBQ!

[@TaisinViper]

I recently replaced my failed Lousiana Grills pellet grill with a Traeger grill and the deal I got came with pecan pellets and apple pellets. The odd thing i noticed with traeger pellets was the amount of saw dust the pellets put off compared to other brands I've used. Once I completely run out I'll see if I can find the smokin pecan in the UK

[@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ]

I don’t think Smokin’ Pecan is shipping internationally yet but you can email them. They are a small family run business & they are good people. Here’s a link smokinpecan.com/pages/contact

Great video as always, Mr. Robinson! Keep up the good work! 💕

[@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ]

Thank you @ErinsCorner 💜

[@tombauer7330]

Good fair test! If I had a pellet grill I'd buy the Pecan pellets based on your test. Thanks!

[@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ]

Thanks Tom

[@TonyBarber-vb5ep]

Great review. Sure helps that you and your wife got the same comparison and opinion. Love your videos.

[@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ]

We don't always agree. I think she prefers a stronger, bolder smoke flavor than I do. She is also very sensitive to spicy while I love spicy food.

[@chrisroberts2509]

Great work sir!! I would love to see you do a brisket with these Pecan shell pellets.

[@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ]

Hi Chris, thanks for your suggestion, I will add it to my list of viewer requests!

[@demondmccray8582]

Great review 👍🏾

[@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ]

Thanks

[@thenomenclature7243]

I purchased a smoke generator (Smokai) they specifically state not to use Traeger wood pellets due to the use of soy oil. Will have to try this new brand.

[@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ]

That’s interesting…. thanks for sharing.

[@candoslayer]

shipping is too much to bring them into canada $100 a box and adding more for 5 boxes only makes the shipping $300 so you gotta basically order a garage full at a time to make this shipping worth it so I will need to skip and stick with lunberjack

[@correctionalofficer4lockdo763]

Salute Kenyatta for always providing great insight for a backyard grillmaster. You and your wife are beautiful people. I wish we were neighbors! I'm not ready to embrace a pellet smoker. It might be a mental block but I am reserved about the bbq produced by pellet smokers. I might be wrong. Time will tell

[@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ]

I always recommend that most start with charcoal. Pellet grills are great for convenience but the smoke profile usually can’t compete with charcoal & wood.

[@correctionalofficer4lockdo763]

[@candoslayer]

Lumberjack is 100% what they put on the bag I find

[@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ]

I agree, Lumberjack is another brand that doesn’t use other woods as filler.

[@WileyBell]

Pee con Brother 😄 Lol

[@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ]

[@Rubiowner05]

Is it worth double the Price though?

[@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ]

I have found that the Smokin Pecan pellets also don’t burn through pellets as fast as other brands. While the upfront cost is higher, the box of pellets will last longer over time.
