Overview
A 40 lb bag of 100 percent hickory grilling pellets made from the bark and cambium layer of the tree rather than reclaimed sawdust, extruded narrower for a hotter burn. Built for Traeger, Pit Boss and other pellet smokers, plus smoke tubes on any outdoor grill.
The smaller-diameter extrusion is the stated reason: more surface area, hotter burn, more smoke. One longtime user still ranks Smokin' Pecan shell pellets slightly ahead of it, which is a useful data point rather than a knock.
- 40 lb bag, packed as two 20 lb bags for freshness
- Made from bark and cambium layer, not reclaimed sawdust
- Narrower pellet extrusion for a hotter, smokier burn
- Works in any pellet smoker plus smoke tubes on other grills
Who it's for
Pellet smoker owners who find their factory pellets taste thin, especially Traeger and Pit Boss users chasing a stronger smoke ring.
Pros and cons
- Stronger smoke flavor than Traeger's own pellets
- Burns clean with thin blue smoke
- Less dust in the bag than competing brands
- One longtime user still ranks Smokin' Pecan pellets slightly higher
Performance notes
The smaller-diameter extrusion increases surface area for a hotter burn, and using the bark and cambium layer instead of kiln-dried core wood concentrates flavor.

Frequently asked questions
Why are Lumber Jack pellets a smaller diameter than some competitors?
Lumber Jack extrudes them narrower on purpose, which increases surface area and produces a hotter burn with more smoke.
Does the Lumber Jack 40 lb bag really contain 40 lbs of pellets?
Yes, and per one reviewer it now ships as two 20 lb bags inside the case so opened pellets stay fresher longer.
