Just referring to the math... Personally a LJ guy for $9.99 or BM $8.99Still, Walmart has PB at $8 for 20 lbs. Still best pricing. I've never had pellets that were the golden egg of smoke supreme flavor.

Yeah, thought about smoke tube but decided against it. I lived on a wood smoker for 25 yrs. & always used misquette from my tree. Pellets vs wood smoker is the latter is high maintenance but excellent smoke flavor. Pellet smoker is a set it & forget it but I'm finding out you're sacrificing that good smoke flavor. Somehow, I just cant get a good smoked brisket or slab of rib. Just a hint, nothing more.Yeah, I am used to smoking with charcoal and chunks or full on sticks in my offset or ugly drum smoker, and there it is easy to get smokey flavour even at 350. This may be why I find the rec teq blend so "weak" but I also notice that many who like the recteq ultimate blend also like using additional smoke tubes, which is telling me that they also feel that the blend is only good for heat and not really smoke.
I have a smoke tube but have been testing what I can do with just pellets before i decide to use it, and so far I get good smoke results from bear mountain and the pitboss pellets, though I prefer the mesquite bear mountain over the hickory pitboss so far, but that might just be because I generally prefer mesquite.
I just filled my hopper with 25 lbs of rec teq ultimate so ill be using that the rest of the week and maybe some of the weekend then next in my rotation is a bag of bear mountain blend, ill see how the blend compares.

I'm the same way. I'm going to be adding a homemade cold smoke generator to my 1250 to try and get the flavor back. I will have to tend to that every hour or two so it won't be true set it and forget it but I won't have to watch the temps at all.Yeah, thought about smoke tube but decided against it.

Guess it depends if they were oldschool smokers with wood & chips where you had to manage & add wood vs just bought a pellet grill & was 1st ever grill.I'm the same way.

I've noticed that most people that come from other types of smokers are disappointed by the smoke flavor that pellet grills put out while people that are coming from a normal grill think that it's more than enough smoke and amazing tasting. Everyone has their own opinion though.
Well, to me I'm getting a slight smoke flavor on my RT-700. For the flavor meter, it's almost disappointing.I have had stick burners and other various grills and smokers over the years. Nowadays I prefer to just use either my Bradley smoker ( relegated to smoking homemade sausage nowadays) or a pellet grill.
I have no issues with the level of smoke with the reqteq. Everything I have cooked on it has been fine as far as smoke levels go.
Do you have another Walmart near by? I have 3 within 5 miles of me. They each seem to stock a different selection of pellets.My Walmart only has the 20 lb bags.
That is why for my 2 long smoke items, pulled pork and brisket, I do around 10 hours on my stick burner and then move to the RT to finish the process. I've tried doing it for 10 hours at 200 on the RT but I still don't get the smoke flavor I desire.Well, to me I'm getting a slight smoke flavor on my RT-700.

Unfortunately those types of stores usually only carry a couple of the flavors. I like pecan and they never seem to have it.Tractor Supply sells Bear Mountain for $9.99 for 20 lbs, so 40lbs is $40.
If you live near one, it's the cheapest game in town, and Bear Mountain pellets are really good.
Unfortunately around me the only ones that seem to have any inventory of LJ are the gourmet BBQ stores and they want $15 to $20 a bag.Just referring to the math... Personally a LJ guy for $9.99 or BM $8.99
Well, the next closest one is an hour away. I live in rural America. Walmart near me is the main hub for everything (groceries, clothes, garden, etc). No, they have the same inventory. I'll probably just order online since they do have that option.Do you have another Walmart near by? I have 3 within 5 miles of me. They each seem to stock a different selection of pellets.
You could also order online and have it shipped to your store for free if you get your total over $35.
Probably a good thing. When I moved here in 2000 the population of the town was like 5000 and we had to go to the next town to buy anything. There were no stores here other than mom & pop grocery store. Now the population is 40k and still growing.Well, the next closest one is an hour away. I live in rural America.

Yeah, this is a small mormon town and they pretty much control the politics here. Population is about 5.6k and hasn't grown much over the last 30 years. No, I'm not mormon. Just live here and land is cheap. I bought 42 acres for $16k.Probably a good thing.
