The recteq Premium Hardwood Pellets (40 lb) is a plain bag of smoking pellets, and for filling the hopper with a flavour you like plain can be the point. No buyer reviews yet, so this recteq bag of smoking pellets has to win you over on paper. The catch with the recteq: photos that can't tell you how well it fits your own grill. We'd pick it if you want a bag of smoking pellets for filling the hopper with a flavour you like; otherwise, put it next to the Bear Mountain Cherry Pellets (40 lb) first.
