    I just bought a bag of those pellets at my local Costco today I was wondering if they taste the same as the Traeger Gourmet blend of Hickory, Maple, Cherry ?

    I've personally been using the Kirkland pellets fro several years now and I've been very happy with their performance. In the past I've used a number of different brands, Pit Boss, Bear Mountain, Lumberjack, I WON'T but Treager...And to 100% honest, I can't tell the difference between them and the premium brands.

    I've been twice to John G's and it was expensive both times! I probably spent $60 or $70 for myself the second time, which is when made that video we're commenting on here... The first time we went was for my birthday in August 2022, right after we moved to NC from OK, and we spent over $200, it was the most I've ever spent on BBQ or maybe any meal. This the the video I made about that incredible experience: kzread.info/dash/bejne/kY6Hwdemg6azeag.html

    I’m not gonna lie, just walked out of Costco today with 40 pounds of Kirkland‘s pellets feeling like a true champion. I’m all throw that at my Yoder YS1500S. Kinda didn’t realize it at the time that this Yoder is a beast of a machine and needs to be fed. Thank you for your review. Makes me feel at ease for my purchase. By the looks of your Reqtec, you get a lot of good use out of it.

    Tip. Don’t buy tallow. Pan the trimmings and smoke with brisket. Your trimming 2 pounds or so anyway so might as well use the meat and fat. Keep excess and build up like bacon fat. Plus the tallow is smoked

    2 things........#1, buy yourself a good slicing knife. If you can afford a Rectec smoker , you can afford a good if not great slicing knife. Come on man. A Victorinox knife or an electric knife might be better for you. Not a cleaver. #2...... Learn the proper way to slice a brisket point vs. flat. You sliced the point 100% with the grain, making it stringy. Lots of good KZread videos showing how to slice a brisket properly. Not trying to beat you up either. Just making an observation from a 26 year experienced butcher who has smoke and sliced over 500 briskets.

    This would have to be the most irresponsible catch of a snake I've seen. 1. It's a rat snake and not even venomous, so tailing it isn't an issue. 2. You aren't licenced to relocate and move them. 3. You just removed your problem, and gave that problem to someone else.
