Barbecue pellets are the same as heating pellets, right?
Wrong! Fuel pellets are made from resinous soft wood, scrap wood with glues, paints, varnish. It doesn’t matter what the heating pellet is made from, its job is to create heat-not cook food. Substituting fuel pellets for barbecue pellets is DANGEROUS and UNHEALTHY! If heating pellets are used in a Traeger grill, they can coat the food with resins and creosote which produces a NASTY taste in the food! Using any other type of pellet will VOID OUR WARRANTY. The warning, ’NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION’ is printed on every heating pellet bag.
