Hi Tudy! If you are looking for a fuel source to be used in a pellet grill, then you’ll need food grade wood pellets (not heating pellets). The Traeger pellet grill is designed specifically for food grade wood pellets…and if you get a chance, there’s a cool YouTube video showing how Traeger actually makes their food grade wood pellets…It’s an amazing process. Also, for anyone interested, food grade wood pellets can be purchased in different types of wood (hickory, apple, oak, cherry, blends, etc). These different woods add unique flavor profiles to whatever you are smoking/grilling— so it is a lot of fun to explore different combinations by mixing the different types or "flavors" together. Have fun pellet grilling!
Yes, in fact I would recommend it. I get better results and a better flavor from pellets that are 100% hickory. Traeger's pellets are only 30% hickory and 70% either alder or oak.
I believe 20 or maybe 30 pounds have
Use them! They should last year to year if kept dry
Since Traeger pellets are 100% natural (no binders) if they get wet the pellets will expand and crumble. Then the auger won’t be able to deliver it to the fire chamber. Keep the pellets dry.
The pellets vary by use and temperature. We find an 18 hour smoke at 225F degrees will take around 1 to 1 1/2 bags.
I can’t give you an actual pellet amount, but I can say it won’t take much since you’re looking to sear them (roughly 15 minutes). Basically searing them both for about 6-8 minutes on both sides with your grill set to 400*. Rule of thumb in my case is 3lbs for every hour @400*. I would guess 1-1/2lbs for 1/2hr use.
I suppose you could however I would place them in a wide can to create a "hot pot".
It all depends on how much you are smoking/grilling, I smoke a lot of meats ( every meat I cook is on the traeger and I use almost every other day) and a 20 lb bag has lasted me over a month
When using the "Smoke" setting, the burn rate is about 1 lb of pellets per hour. Higher temperatures use more pellets per hour.
