BBQ Pellets

Pellets are the fuel and the flavour in a pellet grill, so it pays to pick the right wood. The range covers seven Traeger flavours: Signature Blend, Hickory, Apple, Cherry, Mesquite, Pecan and Oak & Whiskey Blend, plus Smokin' BBQ Pellets in Southern Hardwoods and Wine Barrel Oak.

Stronger woods like hickory and mesquite suit beef and brisket. Fruitwoods like apple and cherry are milder and sweeter, great with pork, chicken and fish. Signature Blend is the all-rounder if you only want one bag.

Keep pellets dry, sealed and off the ground: damp pellets swell and can jam the auger. Pick up in Brunswick with click & collect, and grab a Traeger StayDry bin while you're here.
