Summer Grilling Essentials: America’s Choice Wood Grilling Pellets
Summer is here! Which means many grilling enthusiasts are firing up their pellet grills or smokers (although the serious grill masters may argue this is a year-round occasion).
With the skyrocketing popularity of smokers and pellet grills over the past five years, the amount of pellet products and brands on the market can be a bit daunting. For as basic as pellets may seem, they surprisingly all can’t be treated equal.
Many grilling pellets are made of wood and wood byproducts like left-over pallets and recycled wood. Some manufacturers even spray a flavoring onto the product or use an oil-binding process to get the desired flavor. However, some of these processes run the risk of containing paint, oil, glue, plastic or other harmful chemicals.
America’s Choice Grate Flavor Premium BBQ Grilling Pellets, from American Wood Fibers, set themselves apart by being manufactured from all-natural, 100% select hardwood with zero chemicals or flavoring additives. As they are compressed into pellet form, they undergo a steam-binding process to achieve the natural binding agent, giving you the renowned rich wood flavoring and aroma. Because of this, these pellets provide a long, hot and clean burn resulting in less ash and easy cleanup. Considered to be a set-and-forget type of product, they are known to distribute heat evenly throughout and maintain temperatures within 2-3 degrees, so you don’t need to worry about flare-ups.
America’s Choice pellets aren’t just for pellet grill/smoker enthusiasts either. On top of pairing with any brand of pellet grill or smoker, they can also be used in a traditional gas or charcoal grill set-ups. Pellets can be placed in a tin tray in a gas grill or can be sprinkled in with charcoal to kick up the flavor regardless of your grill type.
We offer four of the America’s Choice wood grilling pellets and come the following flavors: hickory, mesquite, apple and pro-blend.

“When I started handling them in previous employment, I realized how much of a difference there is in wood pellets. I was looking for a good quality pellet to offer and the pellets that Stutsman handles are economical, good quality and a hard pellet. The harder the pellet the better they burn and less ash you get. I have been really happy with how America’s Choice burns.”
