Bear Mountain BBQ 100% Natural Hardwood Alder Sweet Flavor Pellets, 20 Pounds

The alder pellets are unbeatable great smoke smell and taste love them

Pellets burned evenly and slow. Nice flavor for cold smoked salmon.

I love cooking salmon and steelhead on the pellet grill, and Bear Mountain alder is reliably good for that. For some reason, alder is harder to find than other types of wood, but it is ideal for fish and great for poultry. It's also mild enough for grilled pizza. I like to set the pellet grill to 250 and get a heavy smoke rolling over the fish. The alder smoke flavor comes through without bitterness that you would get with oak or hickory. I've also smoked steelhead with a sweet nut rub for 8 hours at 180 (with spritzing) using these pellets to produce a kind of fish 'candy' that is irresistible. Technical note: I don't get as much sawdust at the bottom of the bag from Bear Mountain as other brands. This may only have to do with how the bags are handled after they are shipped. Who knows. If you and your family love fresh fish from the Pacific Northwest, give it the gourmet smoke treatment it deserves.

The ONLY pellets I'll ever use! I've tried several brands, but I keep coming back to Bear Mountain. The Alder pellets are REALLY good for cold smoking cheese, as it adds a light smoke flavor, and isn't overwhelming.

Bear Mountain is hands down the best. I like Alder due to is mellow smoke flavor, it goes with fish, pork, chicken, and can be used for beef. Though oak or mesquite is preferred for beef. One downside is Alder pellets are difficult to find. Even on Bear Mountains website it’s still a challenge.

As a BBQ enthusiast, I've been a fan of this product for a while now. The Alder Wood pellets are perfect for pork and poultry, giving them a delicately sweet smokiness that's hard to resist. While I do wish the shelf life was a bit longer, the different flavor options keep me coming back for more. Plus, the smaller bag size options are perfect for me since I like to switch things up and try new recipes often. All in all, Bear Mountain BBQ has earned a permanent spot in my BBQ arsenal!

Very mild smoke flavor, one of my favorites. Remove skin from chicken and soak in Italian dressing overnight. Smoke with Alder, it's great 👍

This was a great transaction. Good product at a good price and fast shipping.

My family really likes this one because it has a very mild smoke flavor to it so if you're just grilling chicken with non-bbq flavors it's a nice option.

Great for smoking fish! Not easy to find but these guys have it. Everything was top notch from ordering to shipping. Will buy again.

New to the alder thoroughly impressed nice light flavor

It's hard to believe that it's hard to find Alder pellets. Bear Mountain to the rescue! Solid pellets and lightening fast delivery.

Nice soft smoking flavor for fish I used for smoking salmon

Bear Mountain is my go to source for amazingly dependable wood pellets. I have never had an issue with quality and Alder is one of my favorite woods to smoke with. I have been a Bear Mountain customer for a few years now and I see no need to switch. Smoke and love form Missouri. .

If you want excellent flavor added to your smoked meats, Bear Mountain has the wood pellets for you.

The alder is great for smoking fish. Very mild that does not cover up the fish.

Alder is by far my favorite wood to smoke with and couldnt find it through other companies!

I used these pellets to smoke some salmon. My wife said it was the best salmon she ever tasted! I will smoke some more this week! The alderwood was an excellent choice for the smoker!`

This is my go to wood for smoking salmon. Bar none, Bear Mountain are the best brand of pellets I have ever used. I constantly receive compliments about the salmon I have smoked. The other trick I have learned is to brine the salmon prior to smoking. The Alder pellets give the salmon a nice flavor without overpowering it. Definitely try some.

perfect, worked great in the smoker. will purchase more.
