Wood pellets, once primarily used for heating homes, made their foray into the grilling scene during the mid-80s. Today, they hold the second spot in popularity among grill fuels, trailing only behind propane. These compact, pencil eraser-sized pellets, crafted from compressed sawdust, boast remarkable energy potential when combined with air and ignition. What sets pellets apart are their exceptional sustainability, flavor infusion, and remarkable versatility. These attributes, combined with their ease of ignition, allow pellet grills to swiftly reach high temperatures while imparting wood-smoked goodness to foods even at lower temperatures.
Renewable and Sustainable Source
Wood, a timeless resource for cooking and grilling, takes the spotlight yet again. By offering a natural, renewable source, wood pellets have managed to draw consumers away from gas and briquettes, largely due to their significantly smaller ecological footprint. All-natural hardwood BBQ pellets eliminate the presence of synthetic binders or additives, ensuring your culinary creations remain pure and untainted. In addition to their environmental merits, the air-induced combustion of pellets results in a complete burn that prevents the harmful creosote buildup that can mar the flavor and safety of your dishes.
The Pellet Production Process
The genesis of natural BBQ wood pellets involves repurposing leftover sawdust from diverse sources: hardwood flooring plants, wood mills, and even fruit and nut farms. This sawdust undergoes a meticulous drying process before entering a system where minimal food-grade oil is used. This oil acts as a lubricant, aiding the movement of wood through the milling process and into a die where pellets are formed under pressure and heat. These pellets are bound together by the wood’s inherent lignins, ensuring a cohesive final product.
Navigating Moisture Challenges
A drawback inherent to pellet production lies in their susceptibility to moisture. Despite the drying and pressurizing process, pellets tend to retain moisture, especially when exposed to humid environments. Moisture-affected pellets can disrupt grill temperature, cause outages, or even lead to auger malfunction. Preventive measures are key: avoid acquiring pellets that have not cooled properly within their bags. When storing pellets, opt for dry spaces like garages or sheds, and refrain from placing them directly on the floor. Utilize sealed containers for open bags and, if grill usage will be delayed, consider emptying the hopper and auger. A grill cover is also a wise investment to shield your equipment from water infiltration.
Unparalleled Flavor Infusion
Pellet grills deliver an unparalleled flavor experience. The gentle, subtle smokiness imparts a complementary touch to your dishes, allowing the inherent flavors of meats and foods to shine through. Unlike traditional stick and charcoal smokers that can overpower the delicate balance of flavors, pellet grills harmoniously enhance the natural essence of your culinary creations. Pellets are available in a diverse array of flavors, ranging from smoky hickory and mesquite to the delightful aromas of fruit tree woods, which work remarkably well for baking and grilling alike.
Choosing the Right Pellets: A Key Consideration
When delving into the world of pellets, it’s essential to navigate the array of options available. The paramount rule is to opt for BBQ pellets and avoid heating pellets. Heating pellets are not designed for use with food or pellet grills, which can compromise both your grill’s functionality and the safety of the food. It’s prudent to explore pellets offered by your grill manufacturer; often, they use these pellets for research and development, ensuring compatibility. If your manufacturer doesn’t offer pellets, consider local options, including well-known retailers like Costco, Walmart, and Home Depot. While shopping, avoid pellets stored outdoors, and don’t shy away from experimenting with new brands.
A Flavorful and Sustainable Future
In the realm of outdoor grilling, wood pellets stand as a remarkable innovation that combines efficiency, sustainability, and unmatched flavor infusion. Their journey from home heating to culinary excellence is a testament to the adaptability of natural resources. By choosing wood pellets, you embrace an environmentally conscious choice that elevates your cooking while minimizing your impact on the planet. As you embark on your grilling adventures, let wood pellets fuel both your culinary creativity and your commitment to a greener world.

Picture this: Joe Traeger, founder of Traeger Industries, entertained his family when disaster struck. The grill he used caught fire, ruining dinner for his loved ones. Frustrated, Traeger had an idea. He realized he could use the same pellet system he was using in his stoves in a grill to create a convection effect, and thus the pellet grill was born. This incredible invention has revolutionized how we grill, and Traeger has been a leader in the industry ever since.
The pellet grill uses indirect heat to cook your food to perfection. The auger moves pellets to a fire pot, where a fan creates a self-sustained fire, and the auger turns on and off to hold the temperature while creating smoke. Pellet grills were lit initially by hand, with a small handful of pellets placed in the fire pot and a fire starter lit. But today, we use an igniter to superheat the pellets, lighting them before turning them off. This ingenious technology has turned grilling into an art form, making cooking on a grill as easy as cooking in your indoor oven.
With a pellet grill on your porch, you can smoke, grill, bake, braise, BBQ, roast, and sear. The versatility of these grills has made them incredibly popular, and they are now the fastest-growing grill in the category in the 2020s. After Traeger’s patent expired in the early 2000s, multiple pellet grill manufacturers began popping up, each taking their spin on the original pellet grill to make it their own. New technology like Wi-Fi connectivity, open flame options, and innovative builds emerged. Pellet grills became available worldwide, including in some of the world’s largest retailers.
But with so many options available, it’s essential to research and selects the perfect grill based on your needs. Sear stations, dual fuel systems, Wi-Fi connectivity, and stainless-steel builds are all essential options unavailable on all grills. What is a dealbreaker for some customers may be different for you, and vice versa. To make the most personalized choice, list your most essential features and evaluate grills accordingly.
THE FUTURE OF THE PELLET GRILL
As the pellet grill market expands, innovation is still happening in the high-end market. Companies like Coyote and Traeger are pushing the boundaries to give their customers the best and most personal experience. The Coyote Pellet Grill takes the build and performance of the pellet grill and takes it to the premium level. This grill is rock solid with a 304 stainless steel build preassembled from the factory. The dual auger drop shoot burn system helps to negate some of the downsides of the original burn system while increasing the top-end temperatures to those comparable with a gas grill. With a sear grate included, the ability to char over an open flame gives pellet grill users a feature not found in other brands. Finished with a touchscreen controller, the Coyote grill offers customers a superior feel and experience.
In conclusion, the pellet grill has come a long way since its invention in the mid-80s. It has changed how we grill and made cooking outdoors as easy as cooking indoors. With so many options available, there is a pellet grill for everyone. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, take the time to find the perfect grill for your needs, and you’ll be grilling like a pro in no time.
In the sizzling world of outdoor cooking, the battle between pellet grills and gas grills rages on. As grilling enthusiasts seek the ultimate culinary experience, the decision between these two popular options becomes a key factor. Join us as we delve into the differences between pellet grills and gas grills, helping you make an informed choice for your outdoor cooking endeavors.
Flavor Infusion and Cooking Techniques
Pellet Grill: The pellet grill reigns supreme in the flavor department. Harnessing the power of hardwood pellets, these grills infuse a rich, smoky taste into your dishes. From oak to hickory, the variety of pellet flavors allows you to tailor your cooking experience. The low-and-slow cooking method ensures a tender, juicy result, perfect for succulent meats and savory vegetables.
Gas Grill: While gas grills are known for their convenience, they often fall short in the flavor infusion game. However, some gas grills offer flavorizer bars or smoke boxes to mimic the smokiness of a pellet grill. They excel in quickly searing meats and achieving those coveted grill marks.
Temperature Control and Versatility
Pellet Grill: Precision is the name of the game when it comes to temperature control on pellet grills. Most models come equipped with digital controllers, allowing you to set and maintain the desired temperature with minimal effort. The versatility of pellet grills shines as they seamlessly switch between smoking, roasting, baking, and grilling.
Gas Grill: Gas grills are renowned for their instant heat-up capabilities. They provide consistent heat distribution across the cooking surface, making them ideal for quick meals. However, achieving low temperatures for slow cooking can be more challenging, limiting their versatility.
Convenience and Ease of Use
Pellet Grill: Pellet grills offer a hands-off approach to cooking. Once you’ve set the temperature and selected the pellet flavor, the grill takes care of the rest. This convenience is perfect for those who want to enjoy the outdoor cooking experience without constant monitoring.
Gas Grill: If convenience is your priority, gas grills take the crown. With a simple ignition and quick heating, you can be grilling in minutes. Cleaning up is also relatively straightforward, making them a go-to option for busy weeknight dinners.
Environmental Impact and Cost Efficiency
Pellet Grill: Pellet grills utilize hardwood pellets made from sawdust, a renewable resource. While they do require electricity to operate, the energy consumption is relatively low. The cost of hardwood pellets can add up, but the efficiency and flavor they provide often make up for it.
Gas Grill: Propane or natural gas powers gas grills, which can be more economical than purchasing wood pellets in the long run. However, the environmental impact and resource depletion associated with non-renewable fuels should be considered.

In the ultimate showdown between pellet grills and gas grills, both contenders bring unique strengths to the table. If you crave deep, smoky flavors and versatility, the pellet grill is your ticket. On the other hand, if you value convenience and rapid cooking, the gas grill has your back. Your choice ultimately depends on your cooking preferences, lifestyle, and the taste adventure you’re ready to embark upon.
At Coyote Outdoor Living, we believe that every grilling journey is unique. Whichever path you choose, remember that the sizzle of outdoor cooking is all about embracing your personal flavor and enjoying every moment of culinary exploration. So, fire up your chosen grill, gather your loved ones, and get ready to create memories and flavors that will linger long after the last bite. Happy grilling!
Tamara Day’s Perfect Kansas City Brisket on the Coyote Pellet Grill
HGTV personality, Tamara Day, shares her secret recipe to the juiciest, mouthwatering ribs on the Coyote Pellet Grill. Grillmasters and amateurs alike can keep up with this recipe.
Coyote Pellet Grill
6 pound Beef Brisket
Barbecue sauce (optional for basting)
Recommended Seasoning Rub
1/4 cup Worcestershire Sauce
1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 cup Yellow Mustard
1/4 cup Brown Sugar
1/4 cup Paprika
2 tablespoons Kosher Salt
2 tablespoons Black Pepper
2 tablespoons Garlic Powder
2 tablespoons Onion Powder
1 tablespoon Cayenne Pepper (optional for heat )
Preparing the Brisket
Start by trimming the excess fat from the brisket, leaving a thin layer on top for flavor and moisture.
In a bowl, combine the Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, yellow mustard, brown sugar, paprika, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if desired). Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.
Season the brisket with your homemade rub and seasonings. Ensure it is thoroughly coated, covering all sides of the brisket.
Wrap the seasoned brisket tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Preheating and Smoking on the Coyote Pellet Grill
Preheat the Coyote Pellet Grill to 225°F (107°C) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Fill the pellet hopper with mesquite wood pellets.
Place the marinated brisket directly on the grill grates, fat side up.
Smoke the brisket for a total of 8 hours, maintaining a consistent temperature of 225°F (107°C). Every 4 hours, check the brisket and ensure there are enough wood pellets in the hopper for continuous smoke production.
After 8 hours, the brisket should be nearly finished.
Resting and Serving
Check the internal temperature of the brisket using a meat thermometer. The ideal temperature for a perfectly cooked brisket is around 204°F (96°C).
Once the brisket reaches the desired temperature, carefully remove it from the grill and wrap it tightly in double-layered aluminum foil.
Let the brisket rest for 30 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute and the meat to become tender.
After resting, unwrap the brisket and slice it against the grain to ensure maximum tenderness.
Serve the mouthwatering Kansas City brisket with your favorite barbecue sauce, sides, and enjoy the incredible flavors.
