Applewood gives a soft, slightly sweet smoke. American hickory adds the barbecue backbone so the blend does not fade into the background, and red oak gives a clean, steady base. The result is approachable smoke that suits pork, poultry and everyday cooks.
GMG notes the Apple Blend is oak-based and a larger diameter pellet, which helps it last longer than standard-size pellets.
Like every GMG pellet, this blend is made from 100% kiln-dried hardwood sawdust that never touches the floor. The pellets are held together by the natural lignin in the wood, with no fillers or additives, and GMG makes them a slightly larger diameter than most other pellets.
Apple is one of four GMG blends we stock. For a mellow all-rounder, try Gold Blend; for a lighter, sweeter smoke, try Fruitwood Blend; and for a hint of mesquite, try Texas Blend. See the full Green Mountain Grills pellets range, or browse GMG pellet smokers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does GMG Apple Blend taste like?
Applewood, American hickory and red oak give a mature but gentle smoke: soft apple sweetness with enough hickory to taste like barbecue.
Is Apple Blend a good first pellet?
GMG says that if you are unsure which blend to use, you can't go wrong with Apple. Its gentle smoke suits most everyday cooks, especially pork and poultry.
How is Apple different from the other GMG blends?
Apple is gentle with a hickory backbone. Gold Blend is the mellow all-rounder, Fruitwood Blend is lighter and sweeter (cherry, beech and pecan), and Texas Blend adds a hint of mesquite for bigger flavour.
Are Apple Blend pellets 100% hardwood?
Yes. GMG makes them from 100% kiln-dried hardwood sawdust that never touches the floor. The natural lignin in the wood holds each pellet together, with no fillers or additives.
Can I use GMG pellets in a pellet grill from another brand?
GMG makes these pellets for Green Mountain Grills pellet grills, such as the Trek Prime 2.0 and Ledge Prime 2.0. GMG pellets are a slightly larger diameter than the standard 6mm pellet, so if you cook on another brand, check your grill maker's fuel guidance first, or call us on 0434 010 411 and we will help you check.
How should I store GMG pellets?
Keep the bag sealed and store it somewhere cool and dry, off the ground. Once opened, tip the pellets into an airtight container. Pellets absorb moisture from humid air, and damp pellets swell, crumble and burn unevenly, so do not leave them sitting in the hopper between cooks. Throw out any pellets that feel soft or have turned to dust.
