Choosing the right pellets for your BBQ doesn't have to be complicated. Learn how to elevate your food by the fuel you feed it. Better Fuel For Better Flavor is Pit Boss Grills's motto so let's go through each blend and what food to accompany it with. Here is a complete guide to Pit Boss Pellets.
We pair cheese with the perfect wine, so why not the perfect pellet for your BBQ cook. I use this concept while choosing the perfect pellet flavor profile to pair with the meat I am barbecuing. Sweet apple wood with my pork butt? Yes Please!
Pit Boss Pellets come in 20lbs, 30lbs, 40lbs, and some flavors come in 2lbs bags. Mix and choose your favorite blends to create the most custom BBQ experience.
WHAT MAKES PIT BOSS PELLETS SUPERIOR?
The base wood that they use is Oak Hardwood. This hardwood not only burns longer but is more consistent as well.
Pit Boss Pellets are all natural. They do not use binders, fillers, or artificial flavors.
The wood they use in their pellets is first de-barked before turning into its form. This creates a very clean and tasty smoke that infuses your bbq food.
Pit Boss Pellets are made from 100% Hardwood
Their pellets are found almost anywhere! They are also available at your local Walmart or Lowes for extreme convenience.
PIT BOSS PELLETS COME IN A WIDE VARIETY OF FLAVORS TO CHOOSE FROM
