Pellets Pecan or Oak Pellets

[Mimi]

Smoking a pork butt for Carnita’s. Which pellet between Pecan or Oak would give the best flavor? And a brand?

I'm doing one tomorrow and trying Pecan. We have a brand in Canada called Furtado Farms that I really like

Interesting. I have never heard of them before. Might have to try them next time.

I have been using them for over a year now.
They are, in my opinion, really good. I have pretty much depleted all my other pellet brands and have been replacing with the Furtado Farms pellets.
I get them from Dickson BBQ online,
I ordered 3 bags last week and the freight was only $5.85 to the west coast. Arrived here yesterday

I was looking at Dickson. They have them for $5 off, so it's like you get shipping for free right now. Too bad I just filled up on pellets.

I see inflation hit traeger pellets. Was there a hardware store the other day and traeger came out with new packaging. Bags now 18 lbs bags for same price.

They have had that 'sale' price for a while. The pellets don't qualify for their free shipping even if your order exceeds the value. So they charge the flat fee of $5.85 regardless of how many bags you order. Last year it was $8 for shipping. I have tried every wood they offer. My favorites are Hickory, Cherry and Oak. Maple, apple and mesquite would be next.
This picture with my IW650 at 375°F is Furtado pellets. No smoke tube


Still mild smoke flavor from the pellets, nothing like a stick burner or Kamado
