FAQs
Can I use these pellets in non-Traeger grills?
While designed specifically for Traeger grills, they can be used in most other pellet grills, provided the manufacturer allows for third-party hardwood pellets.
Are there any chemical additives in these pellets?
No, Traeger pellets are made from 100% natural hardwood with no fillers, binders, or artificial fragrances.
How long will a 9 kg bag last?
Usage varies based on temperature and climate, but typically a 9 kg bag provides roughly 10 to 15 hours of cooking time at moderate temperatures.
Is this blend good for cold smoking?
Yes, the balanced nature of the Competition Blend makes it an excellent choice for cold smoking cheese or fish.
How do I know if my pellets have gone bad?
If the pellets have expanded, turned to sawdust, or feel soft, they have absorbed moisture and should be discarded to avoid damaging the grill.
Troubleshooting
Auger failing to feed pellets
Check the hopper for damp or clumped pellets, remove them, and ensure the auger path is clear.
Grill temperature fluctuating
Clear out any excessive ash buildup in the firepot and ensure the pellets are stored in a dry, low-humidity environment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, pour the pellets directly into the hopper of your Traeger grill. Since these are standard-sized, no additional configuration or settings adjustments are required. Compatibility is universal across all Traeger pellet grills. Proper care is essential for performance: store the pellets in an airtight, moisture-proof container off the ground. Humidity is the primary enemy of wood pellets; once they absorb moisture, they expand and crumble, which can cause significant jams in your auger mechanism. Always keep the hopper lid securely closed when not in use.
