Kind of an odd blend. Lots of scraps in there perhaps?

We covered this a few pages back. Its that cheap because its not 'food grade'. Food grade is marketing bs since there is no certification through the fda or similar organization.

There seems to be a range of opinion as to how much difference in taste various woods and blends make (except mesquite). At $5.00 for a bag, I'll give it a try.

As a side note, some companies selling 'food grade' pellets add 'flavour oils' so those apple pellets may not be apple. Others use mostly filler hardwood with some percentage of the wood named on the bag. Caveat emptor, read the bag carefully.
