How to use BBQ pellets
Smoke flavour should support the food
Pellets are simple once you treat them like seasoning. Match the strength of the smoke to the weight of the food.
Use pellets as your main fuel
Pick a 9kg bag if your grill burns pellets throughout the cook. Choose everyday flavours for regular use, then add stronger woods for bigger BBQ days.
Shop 9kg bagsAdd smoke to gas or charcoal cooks
Use a smaller amount of pellets in a smoker tube to add smoke without changing your whole cooking setup.
Shop 450g bagsSmall bags make flavour testing easier
450g bags are useful when you want to try different woods without buying a full 9kg bag for every flavour.
Shop 450g pelletsMix woods for balance
Blend a strong wood with a fruitwood when you want depth without overpowering the food. Hickory and cherry is a useful place to start.
Shop Hickory
Easy first buy
Not sure where to start?
Pick Pecan if you want a gentle all-rounder. Pick Cherry if you cook a lot of chicken and pork. Pick Hickory if you want classic BBQ smoke. Pick Oak if you want a steady base wood that works across most cooks.
