Wood pellets appear no thicker than the eraser on the end of a pencil. People who see them for the first time think they look like
rabbit food; however, there is nothing small about the heat or flavor in barbecue wood pellet fuel. These clean-burning barbecue
wood pellets generate about 8200 BTU's per pound with very little ash, a low moisture content (5-7%), and are carbon neutral.
Barbecue wood pellets are produced by pure raw material (sawdust) being pulverized with a hammer-mill, and the material is
pushed through a die with pressure. As the pellet is forced through the die, it is cut, cooled, screened, vacuumed, and then bagged
for consumer use. Check with your local dealer for flavors available in your area.
