type of feedback or information that you like today I'm going to be showing
everyone how to use the wood pellets on charcoal barbecues for a great
smokehouse flavor every time recently Kingsford came out with a line of
premium hardwood pellets and I'm gonna put them to the test I picked up a bag
at the competition blend which is a mix of 45% oak 45% hickory and 10% cherry
giving you the perfect blend for an awesome smoke every time they also carry
oak hickory cherry and apple 100% in their own flavors and these pellets are
100% the wood that they say on the bag there's no fillers no oils for added
flavors super clean long burn times and they're great pellets let's check them
out the premium wood pellets are made in
designed for pellet cookers but they work great on charcoal and gas barbecues
as well these pellets are available at Lowe's Cabela's and online through
Amazon which I'll leave a link in the description below for most quick recipes
I've been measuring out half a cup and been getting great results for longer
cook times one full cup has been doing the trick
to set up your barbecue for low and slow cooking I like to place four to five
briquettes across the outside ring of the barbecue using one cup of the
competition blend hard wood pellets simply sprinkle them against the side of
the barbecue and you'll see if you have holes a couple little ones might drop
down but they'll fill up all the gaps
giving you a nice even smoke all the way across I lit six briquettes and place
them at the end of the charcoal snake and you can see the Kingsford premium
pellets are already smoking away you can see that nice thin blue smoke let's
crack it open and take a peek so just put on not much on it a little bit of
oil I'm gonna see the color we get from the pellet smoking away you can see it's
starting to get some nice color from the smoke
take a peek over at the coals and the pellets cooking away you can see them
going down the line continuing to smoke well I'm making the
temperature very easy to control get the lid back on let it keep cooking take a
peek at this chicken that is looking good easy to do at home recreate all the
steps with the same consistency every time you can see that Kingsford
briquettes slowly burned away and the last little bit of pellets are still
just smoking away
to use the Kingsford wood pellets and hot and fast grilling to add a great
smoke flavor it's real easy to get your barbecue set up for easy start and I'm
using a paraffin wax cube and the charcoal chimney gets these briquettes
fired up real quick Kingsford competition briquettes are lit
and nice and hot it's gonna let them ash over for a little bit to make a smoke
envelope or pouch it's real easy this is one sheet of standard aluminum foil
about one foot long hold up the edges give the sides two folds
open it up nice and wide just pour the pellets in spread them out
and flatten them down and then just fold up the top and give it two or three
folds take a toothpick a fork and just poke a few holes and one that's gonna
allow to do is the wood chips to smoke but not combust and start it on fire
simply place them on the side of the coals for two minutes before placing
your food on after just 30 seconds you can see the pellets are starting to
smoke away get the lid on I'll go get the burgers
let's crack the lid and take a peek wow those are looking great that's awesome
and the pellets are still smoking away down there but these burgers are ready
to come off to prep the chicken gonna keep it very simple it's got a little
bit of vegetable oil here brush it on a good coating and then just gonna apply
some good old salt and pepper just got some boneless skinless chicken breasts
on the grill and half a cup of the Kingsford pellets sitting right on the
cooking grate above the hot coals smoking away get the lid on this will
produce a nice great smoke flavor it's just after a couple minutes whew you can
see that Kingsford envelope is smoking like crazy already producing color on
the chicken it's gonna get lid back on just wanted to show you after smoking
for 10 minutes you can see the smoke from the pellets it's pretty much
stopped they're cooked up and these chicken breasts look awesome you can see
a nice smoke color on them just gonna do a quick grill on each side to finish
them off after the smoke with the Kingsford pellets chicken is sitting
about 15 degrees below its target temp so one two minutes on each side give
them a quick flip and they'll be ready to come off one more flip just to finish
him off check those though that is gorgeous
beautiful here's a piece of the smoked grilled chicken hot off the barbecue
slice it right in half check it though that is nice and juicy
perfect chicken mmm got that nice smoke flavor on the outside and this is gonna
be good eats
to get a drum smoker a bullet smoker our kimono style cooker loaded up with the
hardwood pellets for added smoke flavor it's real easy and I'll show you how
build the charcoal basket a third of the way up just spread it around so you got
a nice even base trying to fill up any little holes or gaps now a good trick
with these types smokers is to set up the wood and the smoke where the air is
coming in now a lot of people will light them in the middle and they burn really
good but if you set up the smoker to start over here and then burn all the
way across where the air source is coming in on these types of smokers and
the Komodos they'll burn for a lot longer start almost in a Halfmoon type
of pattern over here where the fire is gonna start you will get a couple little
ones that fall through not a big deal
then just add another layer of charcoal
take the second cup the competition blend wood pellets or any flavors that
you like and again just sort a Halfmoon shape on top where we're gonna start the
fire so I'm gonna start the fire over here the smoke will stick best also when
your meat is cold and wet so it's better to have the smoke at the beginning of a
cook compared to the end and then just top it with the rest of the charcoal
drum is smoking away perfect at 225 degrees with a perfect smoke
to use the Kingsford wood pellets on a commodity rbq it's really easy and I'll
show you how to get it all set up for longer smoking and kamat oh I like to
start the fire close to the air intake simply take one cup of the Kingsford
pellets just sprinkle it on in like a Halfmoon shape and as the fire cooks
across the firebox here you'll see the pellets are already starting to smoke
crack the lid and take a peek just got them on Kingsford competition blend wood
pellets down in the charcoal for added smoke flavor get the lid shut taking a
peek at the chicken you can see a nice color produced by the Kingsford hardwood
competition blend pellets
another way to add smoke on any barbecue is the amazing pellet smoker it's this
little contraption here I'll show you how to get it filled up and how to use
it take the pellets just fill it up so once
you have this loaded up get everything spread out nice and evenly and you can
see there's a small hole here or just simply take a torch and get it fired up
and once it starts it will slowly trail down the whole pattern so you can take
this get it lit you can place it on any type of barbecue cooker for added smoke
flavor with ease here's a peek at the amazing pellet smoker pretty much cold
smoking away on a Weber barbecue you can see nice clean smoke take a peek at the
pellets super clean burn and barely any ash so anyone keep your pellet grill
super clean this can be lit on one or both ends depending on the amount of
smoke you want
