Camp Chef Competition Blend BBQ Pellets, Hardwood Pellets for Grill, Smoke, Bake, Roast, Braise and BBQ, 20 lb. Bag

I’ve been using Camp Chef’s Competition Blend pellets in my smoker, and they deliver exactly what I want: a clean, consistent burn with just the right amount of smoke flavor. The mix of hardwoods gives a balanced taste—not too strong, not too mild—so it works well across different meats and even vegetables. They ignite quickly, hold temperature steady, and produce very little ash, which makes cleanup easier. I’ve used them for smoking ribs, grilling chicken, and even baking bread, and the flavor has always been smooth and well-rounded. Pros: Balanced hardwood blend suitable for a wide variety of foods Burns clean and consistent with minimal ash Holds steady temperature in pellet grills Works for grilling, smoking, baking, and roasting Cons: Bag is bulky and heavy to store Flavor is balanced—great all-around, but BBQ purists may prefer single-wood pellets for stronger smoke Overall, these are a dependable, versatile pellet choice. Perfect if you want one blend that works well for just about everything on the grill.

The Camp Chef Competition Blend BBQ Pellets are hands down one of the best pellet blends I’ve used for grilling and smoking! They create a perfect balance of smoky flavor that’s not too overpowering but still rich and satisfying. Whether I’m smoking ribs, brisket, or grilling burgers, these pellets add a fantastic depth of flavor that elevates my BBQ game. The pellets burn cleanly and evenly, and I appreciate that they’re made from 100% hardwood, which ensures consistent heat and minimal ash. The smell while grilling is incredible, and the flavor on the food is even better. These pellets have quickly become my go-to for all types of grilling and smoking. If you want to take your BBQ to the next level, I highly recommend the Camp Chef Competition Blend BBQ Pellets. They’re a must-have for any grill master!

I'm no expert cook or BBQ expert. I just like ribs, pork butt/shoulder, wings, stuff like that and bought a Reqtec pellet smoker a few years ago (recommend btw) to make my own in my backyard to save money from ordering out. I bought a few different brands from the recteq, etc. I decided to give these a chance on a whim because they were so cheap. All I can say is they smell good, the meats taste great, the same as any other pellets as far as I can tell, they seem to burn thoroughly and cleanup of the grill is the same as it was using other pellets. I just cleaned mine out a few weeks ago and, yeah, just a big pile of fine ash. The only issue I had, but won't fault the pellet company for this, was one bag arrived out of 5 I ordered at once with a big rip in it, pellets rolling around inside and onto the ground. I probably lost about 10-20% of that bag during shipping. I just ate the loss because shipping back big/bulky things is super annoying... check these out if you need inexpensive pellets. Unless you're super picky I can't imagine most people will notice literally any difference at all from other more expensive "premium" pellets.

These pellets Competition Blend work good in my tregar smoker, burns fast but taste is nice, nice pice Too!

I recently tried these wood smoking pellets and was blown away by the performance from start to finish. First off, they heated up incredibly quickly, which saved me a lot of time getting the smoker up to temp. No long waiting around—just fire them up and you're ready to roll. The smoke output was impressive, producing a rich, thick cloud that infused the food with deep, smoky flavor. It wasn’t just for show either—the flavor payoff was fantastic. The pellets delivered a perfectly balanced smoke, not too harsh, not too subtle. Just that smooth, woodsy aroma that makes you want to stand next to your smoker all day. What really sealed the deal for me was how well the food turned out. I cooked a few ribeyes and some chicken thighs, and everything came out cooked to a perfect medium—juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. It was like the smoke and heat were working in perfect harmony. Highly recommend these pellets for anyone who takes their smoking seriously. Great heat, great taste, great results. I’ll definitely be stocking up again.

Fantastic pellets! They produce a clean, consistent burn and give food a rich, balanced smoky flavor without being overpowering. I’ve used them for everything—brisket, ribs, chicken, even veggies—and the results are always delicious. The blend works great for both long smokes and quick grilling. Hardly any ash left behind, which makes cleanup easy. Excellent quality at a great price—highly recommend!

These are a great alternative to Recteq pellets, and possible higher quality if not similar quality. I’ve been using them in a Recteq RT-1250. The 4 bags I got initially had an average diameter of 6.8mm with none being longer than 1 inch that I could see, which is excellent for avoiding any thermal bridges. The smell is really nice, the smoke taste of the food is subtle but also very nice. Startup time compared to pit boss pellets is much faster and with less white smoke. Before I began running these I cleaned out the burn chamber and bottom of the smoker and notice less ash production, but also less ash throw out onto the food. The price compared to other pellets is high, especially if you can find high quality pellets in a store, but these are some of the only pellets on US amazon that will ship overseas, so that’s also a plus. I called Recteq for shipping overseas, and was recommended these pellets by the recteq associate. He said these were the pellets he ran in RT-700.
