I've been trying to find the Pecan Shell Pellets up here in the Great White North - so far the only option is Amazon, C$102 + shipping for a 20 lb box. Ain't gonna happen.

Honestly I’ve been using the Costco pellets, so yea, $30+ (US) for that 20lb box raises an eyebrow here too.

I'd pay US$30 (C$40) for a box. Smokin' Joe did a comparison:Traeger Pecan Pellets to SmokinPecan Shell pellets. For a 12 hr cook, he used 35 lb of Traeger vs 12# of the SmokinPecan, also noting the SmokinPecan imbued a much smokier flavour to the brisket.
To me, that makes the SmokinPecan a better purchase. (But not @ $102 + shipping - and potentially more tariff added along the way.) Oh for the early aughts when there were no tariffs and our dollar was at parity.
