I snagged a bag yesterday... Still have a 1/2 full hopper to burn thru before I can try them out!

They are shiny, and they snap cleanly. They are much easier to snap than the Smokehouse or Bear Mountain pellets though, so you may need to be a bit more gentle with the bag. Hopefully this helps!Can someone who has purchased Costco pellets test how they snap compared to a competitors pellet? I’ve used Traeger, Recteq, and Bear Mountain. All adequate.
@IPlayWithMeat you mean like this?They are shiny, and they snap cleanly. They are much easier to snap than the Smokehouse or Bear Mountain pellets though, so you may need to be a bit more gentle with the bag. Hopefully this helps!
Ok... you guys convinced me - guess I'll have to give the Kirklands a try.FYI, I bought a couple of 40# bags of the Kirkland Pellets the other day. First use was a Boston Butt/Pork Shoulder. Worked great, no issues and I preferred the smoke flavor from the Kirklands, as opposed to the Recteqs. No complaints about the Recteqs, but at $12.99 a bag for Kirklands (and local availability) I'm going with the Kirklands from here on out.

Yeah, I don't have a good feel for how long is "too long". I've gotten through just about the first whole bag with no issues. The more I use them, the more I like the blend and the smell/taste of the smoke.Some of those pellets look long...hope no feed issues...
I'm too much of a noob to know any better...These pellets snap in half more easily than the other pellets I’ve tried, so this might mean they’d be more likely to break instead of causing a jam.
What are all of your thoughts on the fact that it says “100% Natural” instead of “100% Hardwood” on the package?
Can confirm a suspected feed issue with the Kirkland pellets. Not sure exactly what happened but ended up with a fire in the auger and having to empt out the hopper on my 1070. 2/3 cooks have been fine with them.Some of those pellets look long...hope no feed issues...
Did you shut down when your temps were higher than 250 and get the burn back after shutdown?Can confirm a suspected feed issue with the Kirkland pellets.

He's right!I just saw a youtube post from Mad BBQ Scientist who basically said stay away from these.
I know that is easy to say when you are probably sponsored and get all of your pellets for free but I figured I would pass it on. He also said the best were knotty wood which many of us have had issues with, maybe dont listen to him?
