100% Hickory Competition BBQ Pellet, Our goal is to produce the best burning and flavor in BBQ pellets in the United States. I have been cooking on wood pellets for 20 plus years and I have been manufacturing pellet burning BBQ pits for 12 years of that. Most of our equipment is used in the commercial food service under Fast Eddy's by Cookshack. www.cookshack.com. . We are the foremost expert in burning BBQ pellets because many of our users run these pits 24 hours a day 7 days a week.Premium grade pellet fuel (less than 1% ash content) is usually produced from hardwood or softwood sawdust containing no tree bark. Ash content varies in premium fuels from about 0.3% in some western softwoods to about 0.7% in eastern hardwoods. Premium pellets, which make up over 95% of current pellet production, can generally be burned in stoves calling for either standard or premium fuel. Increased availability of standard fuel is anticipated as stove designs continue to improve ash tolerance
