Pit Boss Mesquite Pellets typically come in a 20 or 40 pound bag. Their price can vary depending on the retailer and location. For our price comparison, we put Pit Boss Mesquite Pellets up against competitors with similar burn, flavor and composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you can see, with all other things equal, Pit Boss beats the in-class competition with their price. There are cheaper pellets on the market, but they lack the product quality this class of pellets has. When looking at the pellet market, going any cheaper than Pit Boss is going to result in lower quality burn, mesquite flavor and pellet composition. Pit Boss Mesquite Pellets are definitely worth the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nPit Boss makes their hardwood pellets by using a combination of high-quality hardwood sawdust and a natural lignin binder. The sawdust is sourced from North American hardwoods such as hickory, maple, and oak. The sawdust is then carefully screened and filtered to remove any impurities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally they then compress the sawdust under high pressure using a specially designed pellet mill. This compression process creates a dense and uniform pellet that burns efficiently and produces consistent heat and smoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pit Boss’s designs their pellets to produce minimal ash. Consequently this ensures that your grill or smoker stays clean and easy to maintain. With a range of flavors and blends available, Pit Boss’s hardwood pellets in general offer a flavorful and clean fuel source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
