Real taste doesn't just happen — it's made from all-natural hardwood, producing perfect smoke. It starts with all-natural hardwood pellets made in American mills.

Bolder staples like oak, hickory, and mesquite are tailor-made for savory beef, wild game, and vegetables. Want to learn more about Traeger? For instance, we are big fans of the Bear Mountain Brand , and you will generally find brands liek these to be significantly less expensive than the Traeger brand pellets.
Just always make sure to check whatever brand you are buying is compatible with ALL pellet grills. A Traeger grill burns roughly lbs of pellets per hour, depending on your temperature setting. So estimate about 1 lb per hour for low and slow smoking, and 3 lbs per hour for hot and fast direct grilling.
Compare that to the cost of a liquid propane tank or a bag of large bag of charcoal , and you quickly realize how expensive using pellets can be relatively speaking. Another common question people have is whether or not, and for how long, they can leave Traeger pellets in the hopper before they go bad. While it would be very convenient to leave a large batch of pellets right in the hopper of your Traeger for whenever you feel like firing it up , its unfortunately not the best practice.
With your Traeger exposed to rain , snow, humidity, and fluctuating temperatures, the pellets you leave in the hopper will quickly soften and not burn as well. If left in there long enough, they can even rot and mold, clog up the auger, and make a mess the next time you start the grill.
We love this Oklahoma Joe pellet storage kit because its not only air tight but comes with a filter basket to shake out all the dust before you load the pellets in the hopper of your Traeger. Anyone who has used pellet grills for some length of time knows this dust does not burn cleanly and eventually has to be vacuumed out of the grill so best to avoid dumping it in the hopper in the first place.
If you want a more budget friendly option without the strainer, you can also check out this pourable pellet container from Buddeez. What are pellet grills? Picture a classic offset barrel smoker with a side-mounted hopper replacing the firebox. Or what looks like a stainless steel supergrill with the hopper in the back. The sawdust is subjected to high pressure and heat, which activates lignin—a natural glue in wood.
With the exception of vegetable oils to aid the extrusion process or carry flavor, the pellets contain no additives. They burn cleanly, leaving remarkably little ash. Pellet grills run on standard household electrical current. When you plug the grill in and turn on the digital controller, a rotating auger delivers pellets from the hopper to a cylindrical fire pot housing an igniter rod. The rod glows red hot for several minutes, igniting the pellets.
