Pit Boss Ambassador Scale and Tailor | Pellet Pairing Guide

We pair cheese with the perfect wine, so why not pair the perfect pellet with your BBQ cook. I use this concept while choosing the perfect pellet flavor profile to pair with the meat I am barbecuing. Sweet apple wood with my pork butt? Yes, please!

Pit Boss Pellets come in 20 lb., 30 lb., 40 lb., and sometimes 2 lb. bags. You can even mix and match your favorite blends to create a custom wood pellet BBQ experience.

WHAT MAKES PIT BOSS PELLETS SUPERIOR?

  • The base wood that they use is Oak Hardwood. This hardwood not only burns longer but is more consistent.
  • Pit Boss Pellets are all natural. There are never binders, fillers, or artificial flavors added. 
  • The wood used in Pit Boss pellets is first de-barked before turning into its form. This creates a very clean and tasty smoke that infuses your BBQ food with true wood-fired flavor.
  • Pit Boss Pellets are made from 100% Hardwood
  • Their pellets are found almost anywhere! Use the Store Locator to find a Pit Boss Dealer near you.
