| Traeger Pellet Guide |
Traeger hardwood pellets - availed in a variety of
species - are the sole source of heat and impart a
delicious flavor to smoked, grilled and baked
foods. Conveniently sealed in easy-to-handle,
20-pound bags, our pellets are clean-burning,
sanitary, economical and 100-percent pure. They
are easier and safer to transport and store than
other types of barbecue fuel.
Traeger barbecue pellets are no larger than the
eraser on the end of a pencil. People who see
them for the first time think they look like rabbit
food, but there is nothing small about the heat
energy in a barbecue pellet. Over 8500 BTU's per
pound! Wood pellets are not new, they have been
around for a long time used in industrial,
commercial, and residential heating appliances
and applications. There are over 100 fully
operational pellet mills in the United States.
Traeger Industries was the first company to use
them for cooking.
Only the finest hardwood raw materials are
sourced from all over the country. The pure, raw
material (sawdust) is then pulverized with hammer

mills and dried. The dried material is then processed under heat and pressure. Lignin, which is the natural glue
which holds plant fiber together, softens above 100 degrees Celsius, permitting the material to change shape.
The hot lignin then acts like a glue to bond the pellet together. Pelleting employs a hard steel die which rotates
against rollers forcing the material through the die with pressures of over 10,000 PSI. As the pellet is forced
through the die it is sheared off at the specified length, cooled, screened, and bagged.
General specifications for barbecue pellets are: 100% hardwood, 1" long or less in length, 1/4" diameter, less
than 2% ash content, less than 2% fines, 10% moisture content, 8500 BTU's per lb, and about 40 lbs per cubic ft.
