Do you guys REALLY notice a difference in brands? Had my Treager since they 1st came out, have used many brands and honestly cant tell a difference in brands or flavors. Usually buy whatevers on sale, usually at Coastal.

Anyone that says they can I’d be willing to bet couldn’t tell the difference if someone put 3 different items in front of them and asked to tell them which is which

You might not be able to tell which is which but there is a difference in flavor and quality. Most people that don't smoke much couldn't tell the difference but if you use your smoker a lot you can tell, especially when is comes to cleaning your smoker.  Traeger pellets leave a greasy film all over the inside of the smoker after a few smokes.  I have had pretty good luck with Bear Mountain as well but there is a difference if you smoke a lot of meat...

Most folks couldnt tell you the difference between wood types by taste, much less brands.
What country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants.
