Stampede Kingsford Pellets

Recteq support is recommending Kingsford pellets. Just wondering if the forum agrees with this. I’m getting ready to order a 590 and trying to get my ducks in a row to be ready to go when it arrives.

I've had no issues using them.

Never tried them. Plenty of choices out there. My RT700 is very happy with Lumberjack pellets.

I'm sure they will work just fine.

I prefer lumberjack pellets myself.

I am sure they are okay, but there are many other options out there, the two best IMO:
Lumberjack
CookinPellets

If possible, I’d go with a bag of Kingsford pellets for my first run on a new recteq. For those folks that have had problems with a new grill, depending on the issue recteq support will often advise to change the brand of pellets if not using Kingsford or recteq pellets.

I’ve used about 5-6 bags of the Kingsford pellets, and they work fine. I just don’t believe the price is justified given how low Lumber Jack and Bear Mountain are priced where I live.

I have traditionally used Recteq pellets from day one. I tried a couple of bags of the Kingsford blend when RT started pushing them. Didn’t like them. I felt they burned a lot faster and left a tremendous amount of ash in my 700. I switched back to the Recteq brand.

I've come to prefer Lumberjack pellets. However, I got good results from Bear Mountain and Kingsford too. Currently using a stack of Kingsford purchased on a deal a few months back.

If you get the pellet bundle with your new grill, you can't miss. Great price with mfg recommended pellets. You're going to go through so many pellets in the near future that trying new stuff becomes part of the fun IMHO.

how do you get Recteq pellets, other than with a new grill?

Amazon

There are Amazon sellers, and I expect they buy/pickup at recteq HQ. recteq does sell pellets for local pickup, and a better discount than what they are online with a grill purchase. I’m going to be there myself in a week-may bring home some pellets also.

Lumberjack pellets are working perfectly for me. They are made with 100% wood fiber and have a good variety of pellets. Hard to beat their price.

Been using Pit Boss Comp Blend typically found at Lowes #40 for $15 and happy with them in the Bull so far.

 

[motsco]

if no rectec pellets then use bear mountain. great pellets and service.

Thanks for all the help!

I have been using since I bought mine a couple months ago because that was the recommendation from them. I have no issues with them but want to try others.

Side note: I find it interesting that in the bundle of pellets they have on the website it has switched from Recteq pellets to Cooking pellets.

Back when recteq would still sell and ship pellets without a grill purchase, they sold both. That is one reason why there is an assumption that Cookinpellets makes the recteq branded pellets. The two are a different blend, BTW. Here is my receipt from when I bought my Bullseye and pellets last June.

400 pounds, wow!
How much have you used?

Well, technically I’ve used all of it. I bought another 160 pounds of recteq pellets when we were at Academy in December, and I have 3 bags of that left. Plus I’m also cooking with Lumber Jack and Bear Mountain. I don’t let my grills cool down for very long, and now that I have a RT-340 next to the Bullseye, I often use both at the same time.
