Hickory is one of the most recognizable smoking woods in American barbecue. Its strong, savory smoke profile makes it particularly popular for traditional smoked meats such as brisket, pork ribs, and pulled pork.
Compared with milder woods such as apple or cherry, hickory provides a more pronounced smoke character that stands up well to rich cuts of beef and pork.
B&B Hickory Pellet Grill Fuel allows you to enjoy that traditional hardwood flavor while using the temperature controls and convenience of a compatible pellet grill or smoker.

Can I use B&B Hickory Pellets in any pellet grill?
These pellets are designed for pellet grills and smokers. Always check your grill manufacturer's fuel recommendations to confirm compatibility.

Can I use these pellets for chicken and turkey?
Yes. Hickory pellets can be used for poultry, although their stronger smoke profile may be more noticeable than milder wood varieties.
How long will a 40 LB. bag of hickory pellets last?
Pellet consumption depends on your grill model, cooking temperature, outdoor weather, and cooking duration. Low-temperature smoking generally uses fewer pellets per hour than high-temperature grilling.
