All responses are much appreciated.

Supposedly they are to be mixed with wood pellets to increase heat. I've got a bag but haven't felt the need yet .... -
I have not tried, mainly because I have not seen many good reviews.Comment

I tried a bag of charcoal pellets a few years ago and didn't see much difference from wood pellets. I never bought another bag. For the record I keep Hickory or Mesquite on hand for a little "Bolder" profile but usually use a Blend for a little "Milder" profile. My experience over the past 20 years of Pellet Grilling/Smoking feels there isn't a lot of difference in the many pellet varieties. This is just my opinion.Comment

Once upon a time I cooked on a pellet-fired J-3 Jambo Pit (that was built alongside Tuffy Stone's first one). Typically, I took 4 20# bags of pellets to a contest and always used 3 bags. Did a test once with 4 bags of our Jack Daniel's 20# bags. I used 3 bags. This pit was not automated other than the fan and the auger. I set the temp by adjusting the two. My cooking temp was around 240. Weather for the cook was a beautiful June day with no wind and moderate humidity. I didn't win, I did it as a charcoal pellet test. I did get a couple of calls though.
I used to sell lots of charcoal pellets to folks in higher elevations.Comment
