Choosing The Right Pellets For Your Meal
The great thing about a wood pellet grill is the option to mix and match your wood pellets, creating a different aroma and flavor profile.
The best way to choose the right pellets is to take a look at what meat you’re going to grill.
“Resting meat allows everything to relax and redistribute the juices, which creates a more tender, juicier cut,"
- Angie Mar, Chef
The subtle flavors and aromas can be all you need to make a good meal great.
Take a look at our wood pellet flavor guide to make your next meal the best one yet:

When cooking pork, you’ll want to go with a more savory flavor such as mesquite or hickory. This is much better for a slow and low grilling session.
Wood flavors such as maple and pecan will have your beef tasting sweet while balancing out that bold flavor the beef originally produces.
Cherry, apple, and alder will create a sweet flavor profile, whereas pecan will give you a much nuttier taste. When cooking up white meats, your choices are endless.

2. Rack Of Lamb
A rack of lamb is not only delicious, but it’s also rather easy to prepare and quick to cook.
When you grill lamb, the aim of the game is to create a nice charred crust with a tender inside. Serves 8 people.

Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons of dijon mustard
- Chopped, fresh parsley
- Steak rub
- 2 racks of lamb

- Season the lamb with your chosen steak rub on both sides, adding the parsley and rosemary.

- Remove the lamb and turn the temperature down to 300 F.
- Lean both of the racks against each other on the frill so they stand up. Grill for another 20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 130 F.
