Our Bourbon Barrel BBQ Smoking Wood Pellets are made using only 100% authentic American White Oak from freshly emptied bourbon barrels. No blends here!
The result? A depth and complexity of flavor no other brand can match when you fire up the pellet grill to smoke your favorite meats and other smoked foods.
The pellets work when used in both pellet grills and traditional grills and smokers.
How To:
Pellet Grills
- Pour the pellets into the hopper and fill to the top.
- Following your grill or smoker’s instructions, start and bring to the desired temperature.
- Place your food on the grill and cook until brought to temperature.
Traditional Grills & Smokers
- Start your grill or smoker, bringing it to the desired temperature.
- Fill a smoker box, smoker tube or an aluminum foil pouch with pellets. Don’t overfill as this will affect airflow. Place above the heat source. Make sure pellets become hot enough to smoke.
- Once the pellets begin to smoke, place food on the grill and cover.
- Check often to make sure pellets are smoking and not flaming.

At first, I was not overly impressed, as I expected the pellets to smell and perform like chunks. However, their thorough explanation of the process used to create the pellets made total sense. Even though the pellets do not have the same initial smell of whiskey, the flavor was spot on.
There was also a slight shipping error where the bag was received open due to an incomplete seal in the middle. Despite this, their customer service department went above and beyond my expectations to resolve the issue.
BRAVO GREAT JOB FOLKS KEEP IT UP.
Michael, thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a quick note!
YIKES! The bag definitely should not have arrived like that. We're getting a replacement sent out today so you'll have a properly sealed bag on your doorstep soon.
Honestly, we share your feelings about the smell. When you walk into our warehouse, the aroma of freshly emptied bourbon barrels hits you immediately. That's exactly what most people expect when they open a bag of bourbon barrel pellets too.
The catch is that pellets have to go through a kiln-drying process before they're made. That process removes the remaining moisture from the wood and, unfortunately, most of that unmistakable bourbon aroma goes with it. The good news is that the flavor still comes through in the smoke while you're cooking, even if the pellets themselves don't have that fresh bourbon scent.
I can assure you these are the real deal. They're made from authentic, once-used bourbon barrels, and unlike most smoking pellets on the market, ours are made from 100% bourbon barrel wood with no fillers or other wood species mixed in.
Even better, we're also going to send you a bag of our Bourbon Barrel Smoking Chunks. Since they aren't processed into pellets, they retain much more of that incredible bourbon barrel aroma we think you were hoping for when you opened the bag.
Thanks again for your feedback and for giving us the opportunity to make this right. We truly appreciate your business.
Cheers!
