Pitmasters Choice Premium Fruit Blend Wood Pellets 40 lb

Is This the Pellet You Need?

If your smoked chicken is coming out with a bitter edge, your pork ribs lack a clean sweet finish, or your fish tastes like it was cooked over a campfire — you’re using the wrong wood. Pitmasters Choice Premium Fruit Blend combines apple, cherry, and maple hardwoods into a mild, sweet smoke profile engineered for proteins that need enhancement, not domination. Apple brings a light, fruity sweetness. Cherry adds colour to the smoke ring and a subtle tartness. Maple rounds the finish and prevents bitterness on longer cooks. No bark, no oil, no filler — 100% hardwood, small-batch produced in Canada.

Symptoms of the Wrong Wood

• Bitter or harsh aftertaste on chicken, fish, or pork after smoking
• Smoke flavour overpowering the natural taste of the meat
• Pale or weak smoke ring on ribs and pork shoulder
• Dull, grey colour on finished poultry skin instead of deep mahogany
• Firepot clogging with excessive ash mid-cook
• Temperature swings disrupting low-and-slow cooks

Installation Notes

• Store in a cool, dry location — moisture is the #1 cause of pellet degradation and hopper jams
• Keep bag sealed between cooks; do not leave pellets in the hopper for extended periods in humid climates
• Purge old pellets from the hopper before switching wood types to avoid unintended flavour blending
• Run a startup burn-off cycle after refilling to clear any dust from the auger feed
• Fruit wood burns slightly cooler than hardwoods like hickory or oak — allow an extra 10–15 minutes of preheat time to reach target cook temp
