Using Wood Pellet Fuel; Cooking Guidelines - Pit Boss PB700R2 Assembly And Operation Manual

These clean-burning barbecue wood pellets generate about 8200 BTU's per pound with very little ash, a low moisture content
(5-7%), and are carbon neutral. Barbecue wood pellets are produced by pure raw material (sawdust) being pulverized with a
hammer-mill, and the material is pushed through a die with pressure. As the pellet is forced through the die, it is cut, cooled,
screened, vacuumed, and then bagged for consumer use. Check with your local dealer for flavors available in your area.
HICKORY BLEND
Rich, smoky bacon-like flavor. Considered the
"Kings of the Woods".
MESQUITE BLEND
Strong, tangy, spicy flavor.
Think Tex-Mex cuisine.
APPLE BLEND
Smoky, mild sweetness flavor.
Highly recommended for baking.
MAPLE BLEND
Sweet and savory flavor.
ALDER BLEND
Sweet and earthy flavor. Alder, Maple and Pine Blend.
FRUITWOOD BLEND

NOTE: Always store wood pellets in a dry area. Avoid any contact or exposure to moisture will result in lower heat
output or cause the pellets to swell and break apart. Use a moisture proof, resealable tub or bucket for proper storage.
Smoking and grilling styles of cooking can give you different results based on time and temperature. For best results, keep a
record of what you cooked, at what temperature, how long you cooked for, and the results. Adjust to your taste for the next time.
Practice makes perfect.
The culinary art of hot smoking refers to longer cooking times, but results in more natural wood flavor (and a sought-after smoke
ring ) on your meats. Higher cooking temperatures result in a shorter cooking time, locking in less smoke flavor.
TIP: For best results, allow time for meats to rest after cooking. This allows the natural juices to migrate back into
the meat fiber, giving a much juicer, flavorful cut. Resting times can be as little as 3 minutes and up to 60 minutes,
depending on the size of the protein.
