Rich & Robust Oak Base Hardwood Pellet Bundle

The magic is in the ratio. A mild oak base carries the cook low and even hour after hour, bold hickory drives deep, savory smoke into the bark, and the sweet cherry hardwood flavor softens the edges. It's the kind of expertly crafted blend that makes beef ribs, smoked chuck roast, and a tray of burnt ends taste like you've been perfecting this flavor for years, ideal for anyone just starting their custom smoke journey.

Here's how Build-a-Blend™ works: every great blend starts with Oak Base, then you layer in 100% flavor woods until you land a signature smoke that's all your own. We've done the hardwood curation for you here, but the portfolio is yours to explore. Mix using a 5-gallon bucket (or a hopper divider on a Pit Boss® Competition Series grill), tweak the ratios to taste, or load flavor woods into a smoke tube for a quick hit of flavor on the fly.
