Question for the Easy Bake smoker crowd RE:pellets

[mcdawg22]

When I first got my smoker in 2020, I actually settled on Pit Boss pellets because for price and smoke they seemed to be the best. When i poured them into the hopper it looked like a lot of Irishmen or Popop’s. Short and sweet, but did the job. Now I buy the same brand and the pellets look like the meme of the guy sitting on the bedside. They tend to stop up because of the massive size. Has anyone else noticed this? I really hope message board genius picks up this thread, just to say there are dozens, DOZENS of us that prefer smaller pellets although deep inside we know the truth.

Me trying to help somebody out on pellet smoking is about as useful as me trying help out my gay friends with their love life.

No experience with Easy Bake Grills but do have some experience with wood pellet manufacturing .Pellets are extruded in a continuous rod that crumbles into the pellet size you get in the bags. The hardness and brittleness is determined by the moisture content of the sawdust. I’m really not sure whether wet or dry causes what you’re describing. Heat and pressure is all that causes the wood fiber to bind together. I’ve seen extruders that have a rotating blade to chop the pellets as they are extruded It’s probably just a seasonal deal.

Possibly exposed to moisture?

This is why I hate pellet grills. We had to replace the auger motor and some other parts on my dad’s grill because of extreme pellet size sensitivity, and it was no virgin

If you have an Academy nearby go there for pellets. B&B and Bear Mountain are better quality, and have a much more consistent size. Plus they’re close to the same price as Pit Boss. #averagesizebestsize

Are you judging your pellets like A&M judges their coaches?

Pellet smokers and their cult

@mcdawg22 you should know by now that if you’re not grilling and smoking on one you made yourself with scrap pieces of metal you bought at the local trade days that you welded together with your Harbor Freight mig welder and put on cinder blocks then you ain’t grillin brother.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Real mean don't waste valuable resources like scrap steel and welding wire to buy a smoker... All you need is a shovel and an axe my friend.
