Cowboy 20 Lb. Charcoal & Hickory BBQ Pellets combine real hickory wood with hardwood charcoal to deliver rich, smoky barbecue flavor with an authentic char-grilled finish. Designed for pellet grill enthusiasts who want more traditional charcoal character from their cooks, these BBQ pellets bring together the convenience of pellet grilling and the bold taste of charcoal cooking.
Unlike standard wood pellets, Cowboy Charcoal & Hickory BBQ Pellets incorporate hardwood charcoal directly into the pellet blend. The result is a distinctive combination of hickory smoke and charcoal flavor that complements everything from brisket and ribs to burgers, steaks, and chicken.
Made with real wood and hardwood charcoal without additives, these 20 lb. BBQ pellets are an excellent choice for backyard grilling, low-and-slow smoking, and everyday barbecue.

Traditional hickory pellets deliver wood-smoked flavor, but Cowboy takes things further by blending hardwood charcoal into the pellets themselves.
This combination brings together two familiar barbecue flavors: the rich smoke of hickory and the distinctive taste associated with charcoal grilling.

Are Cowboy Charcoal & Hickory BBQ Pellets made with additives?
No. According to Cowboy, these pellets are made with real wood and hardwood charcoal without additives.
Are charcoal and hickory pellets good for smoking brisket?
Yes. Hickory is a popular choice for brisket because its bold smoke complements beef. The addition of charcoal provides another layer of traditional barbecue character.
Can I use these pellets for grilling burgers and steaks?
Yes, in a compatible pellet grill. The combination of hickory and charcoal is particularly appealing for foods traditionally cooked over charcoal.
How long will a 20 lb. bag of BBQ pellets last?
Pellet consumption varies based on your grill, cooking temperature, weather, and cook duration. Higher-temperature grilling generally uses more pellets per hour than low-temperature smoking.

We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
