Exactly!And that's why we can't have nice things!
Just bought a bag today and smoked a couple of pork chops. They were actually very flavorable and juicy. Will be smoking a 5.5 lb pork butt on Sunday. We’ll se how it comes out.I'd like to know as well. I have an unhealthy addiction to Costco!
You and the rest of us. I’ve been a member since 1988 when it was called Price Club. I’m sure I’ve spent a BS degree worth of college tuition over the years. Something about a “good value” that is can’t resist.I'd like to know as well. I have an unhealthy addiction to Costco!
Hi 20 year Costco employee here and bbq addict. I wanted to address the question who makes what, well simply put none of those companies do. What we do is find a smaller company that we can work with develop a recipe this is the “Kirkland signature” part of the business so in short yes there’s a tremendous amount of work trial and error in every Kirkland product we do our absolute best to put out a top notch product.I'd like to know as well.

The popular theory years ago was that Cookin’ Pellets made the recteq pellets. recteq even sold the CP brand (it was a different blend) alongside the recteq brand up until the deal was made between recteq and Kingsford.Interesting some RecTeq stuff for sale at Costco....is there a chance that small company is the same who makes the RecTeq pellets (which btw is also a white label) - they make and bag them for RecTeq.
I saw them here in Charleston SC as well. I picked up two bags. I plan to use them cooking chicken (wings, thighs, and breasts) tomorrow. Doing a butt on Monday. I’ll let you know what I think afterwards.Was walking around Costco and saw they now sell Kirkland Signature Pellets. $12.99 for 40 pounds. Has anyone tried them? It says its an Oak Hickory Maple and Cherry blend.View attachment 16088
Wallmart sells 40 lb bags for $7.99.Was walking around Costco and saw they now sell Kirkland Signature Pellets. $12.99 for 40 pounds. Has anyone tried them? It says its an Oak Hickory Maple and Cherry blend.View attachment 16088
I'd trust the Kirkland brand over whatever brand that Walmart is selling at that price...Wallmart sells 40 lb bags for $7.99.
Much appreciated information. I’ve had great experience with Kirkland signature products. They seem well made and well priced.Hi 20 year Costco employee here and bbq addict.

Actually, with pellet blends, you are still cooking with a single flavor; it is just a blended flavor. Do you only use a single seasoning for a given cook? I'm guessing not. And, why not? Because a "blend" of salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder (the traditional SPOG "blend"), for example, creates a nicer flavor profile than just one of those ingredients.The problem is that no one really wants to cook with four different wood flavors at once.
Thanks for the update. Passed by those pellets the other day and put my brakes on since it was the first time I’ve seen them. I’ll pick up some next trip (or tomorrow since I like Costco).I used the Kirkland(Costco) pellet blend for a pork butt this past weekend. No complaints. Nice smoke for us and developed a nice bark on the butt. Not a lot of ash. I will pick up some more next costco trip.
I do. I prefer mesquite ogs when I smoke meat. If I can't find mesquite then I use pecan. Those are the only 2 I really want to use. I've tried several blended pellets including several different brands and they were meh at best for me.Actually, with pellet blends, you are still cooking with a single flavor; it is just a blended flavor.

That said, I understand that on certain occasions, a single wood might produce a preferred flavor profile. If that's the case, then by all means just buy those pellets. Because there are blended wood pellets out there doesn't mean anyone is forced to buy them. YMMV
