Woodwholesalepzoo wood pellets contain a 5% moisture content, which maintains a low ash production and accumulation in your grill. When there is excessive ash production in your grill, the set temperature can lower or climb at a moment's notice, resulting in an unevenly cooked product. The low moisture content in Bear Mountain's pellets helps the temperature to stay at its set range, producing a nice, thin, blue smoke to cook and flavor your meat, seafood, or vegetables exactly how you intended. The estimated burn time of these wood pellets in a pellet grill is approximately 1 lb. of pellets per hour on a low smoke setting, or up to 3 lb. per hour on a high setting. For a more accurate burn rate, please reference the owner's manual of your grill.
