Wood Pellets

I prefer them to the official pellets suggested for the ninja

you get what you pay for

These are a welcome addition to our BBQ because they are easy to handle and are a nice uniform size, unlike wood chunks we have used in the past. They only concern is keeping them away from moisture in an airtight container. We have a woodshed outside but will have to keep these indoors. The applewood variety gives a more subtle flavour and is correctly recommended for lighter meats like pork and chicken, and fish. It also recommends fruit which is something I’ve never thought of so will be giving that a try this summer. This is a nice product to enhance your BBQ food.

I have this bag of fresh grills wood pellets for BBQ, grill, pizza oven etc., made from applewood. Pellets arrived in 1.5kg paper bag, the handle was broken on arrival. They are very uniformed, look and feel of a decent quality. I've used them in the smoke tube on my BBQ. I've added only a little bit, just to improve the taste of my burgers. The taste was very unique, I could feel that it added a bit of sweetness to my burgers, but it wasn't overpowering the spices. Very pleasant smell and taste. These pellets seems to be pricey, but I've used only a little bit on my large BBQ and it made the difference. Versatile pellets, I like to experiment with food to improve taste, so I would happily recommend these applewood pellets.

I use a small amount of these chips at the end of the cooking, for a bit of variety. I just chuck an handful or two over the coals and close the lid of the barbecue for a minute or so. I am sure there are more effective ways to do this, and to make for a more intense flavour, but it works well enough for me. Both lamb and chicken tasted nice. Not the cheapest thing to burn, but, if used sparringly, it can last 5 cooking sessions.

This bag of Applewood Pellets for BBQ Grill, Wood Fired Pizza Oven, Kamado and Outdoor Smokers is 1.5kg in weight and comes in paper bag. I tried cold smoking some cheese and it came out rather nice. I put some pellets in foil, made several holes, torched to get the smoke going and when the flame calmed down I put some cheese on the grill. I left it for about 2 hours, then wrapped it with greaseproof paper and left it in the fridge for 10 days. The flavour was mild (probably because I didn’t put a lot of pellets) and I quite liked it.

I've used these applewood pellets inside one of of the steel smoke boxes, this is the one I use https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B095SXR4Z9/ and they've worked really well. The flavour is subtle and natural, not quite a smack in the tastebuds and that's exactly what I was hoping for. The pellets have a large surface area to volume ratio so they get going quite quickly. The bag rolls up easily and takes up less room the more I use so there are no problems with storage.

These BBQ Hardwood Pellets will be what sets your BBQ apart from the others this summer. I add these to my BBQ wrapped in tin foil with lots of holes in the foil. This prevents the wood chips from catching fire and makes them smoke instead. BBQs are elevated to a new level with that smokey flavour. Of course these wood chips can also be used in a smoking machine but I haven't managed to lay my hands on one of those yet. Great stuff for making your BBQ stand out.
