Flavor Pro昀les of B&B Wood Pellets
Wood pellets for outdoor cooking can be found in several different fla- vors. Each variation has a different flavor intensity and pairs well with some meats or vegetables more than others.
◆ Mesquite - Often a favorite of Texas-style barbecue purists, this is going to be the strongest flavor. Mesquite produces an intense aroma and a more savory, spicy flavor. This type of wood pairs well with beef and other strong-flavored meats.
◆ Hickory - This is also going to be a richer, stronger flavor but not as strong as mesquite. This savory flavor pairs well with many different types of meat.
◆ Pecan - Pecan wood has a fairly robust flavor that is smoother com- pared to mesquite and hickory. It does pair well with chicken and pork. ◆ Maple - This wood flavor has a milder, smoother flavor that many outdoor cookers also pair with pork.
◆ Post Oak - This wood is medium flavored and very versatile. It pairs well with most meat but especially brisket. It is also a very stable-burn- ing wood.
◆ Apple - Out of all the fruit woods, Apple will provide a stronger, sweeter flavor. This wood pairs well with pork and chicken.
◆ Cherry - A milder fruitwood, Cherry will also give you a slightly sweet flavor. This wood also pairs very well with pork and chicken. It can improve the appearance of your meat by adding a slight red tint to the finished meal.
B&B wood pellets are made from a combination of hardwood shavings and sawdust from our wood chunk and wood chip production
The 100% wood material is pressurized, compressed down, and held together by the lignin within the wood, an all-natural binding agent. It’s made into long, thick rods that are broken into smaller pieces. B&B wood pellets are about a half-inch to one inch long so they will run better through the auger system in your pellet grill.

B&B Charcoal also has blends of several different types of wood flavors. For example, the Championship Blend from B&B Charcoal is a blend of Pecan, Cherry, and Oak.
The result is a deliciously smooth, savory flavor with a sweet undertone that pairs well with many types of meat.
There are also specialty variations, like Jack Daniel’s Pellets. These wood pellets are made from the mellowing charcoal from the Jack Daniel’s distillery, producing a rich, smooth taste that works well chicken or pork.
Flavored Wood Pellets
For ALL Pellet Grills
→ No industrial scrap wood, bark, or slap wood
→ No added 昀avored oils
B&B wood pellets are made of 70% oak, a very stable burning wood.
This is then blended with 30% hard- wood or specified fruitwood to impart the flavor through the smoke.
Using most of the hardwood prevents the pellets from crumbling and creating a fire hazard in your pellet grill.
