It is a three-wood blend of Black Oak (the clean-burning base), Hickory (the dominant smoke note), and a hint of Mesquite (the Lone Star accent), designed for Texas-style BBQ cooks. The 12.7kg bag is sized for filling the hopper of any 6mm-compatible pellet grill. The blend produces an assertive, beef-friendly smoke profile particularly suited to brisket, beef ribs, pulled pork, and any cook where bold smoke flavour leads.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails class=\"pd-gmgtb-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eWhat is the exact wood ratio in the Texas Blend?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"pd-gmgtb-faq-answer\"\u003eGreen Mountain Grills does not publicly disclose the exact ratio, but the blend is composed of Black Oak as the dominant base wood for clean burning and heat consistency, Hickory as the dominant flavour note for the classic Texas BBQ smoke profile, and a smaller percentage of Mesquite for the unmistakable Lone Star State character without overwhelming the cook. All three woods are 100% food-grade hardwood with no oak filler beyond the named Black Oak component.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails class=\"pd-gmgtb-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eIs the Texas Blend only for GMG pellet grills?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"pd-gmgtb-faq-answer\"\u003eNo. The Texas Blend is manufactured by GMG to a specification tuned for their pellet grills (Daniel Boone, Jim Bowie Prime Plus, Peak Prime 2.0 WiFi), but the 6mm food-grade pellet standard is universal. Texas Blend works in every commercial pellet grill on the Australian market including Yoder YS480, YS640, YS1500, Traeger Pro, Ironwood, Timberline, Pit Boss, Z Grills, MAK, RecTeq, and similar brands. GMG owners gain the slight additional benefit of manufacturer-matched pellet specification, but all 6mm pellet grill owners can use this pellet without issue.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails class=\"pd-gmgtb-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eGMG Texas Blend vs BBQr's Delight Contest Mix: which should I buy?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"pd-gmgtb-faq-answer\"\u003eHonest answer: it depends on what you cook. The two pellets are designed for opposite ends of the smoke flavour spectrum. Buy GMG Texas Blend for: brisket, beef ribs, pulled pork (bold smoke version), smoked steaks, lamb cooks, and any cook where you want assertive smoke flavour to dominate. Buy BBQr's Delight Contest Mix for: chicken thighs, turkey, pork shoulder (sweet finish), ribs with mahogany competition colour, and any white-meat cook where you want a milder smoke profile. Many serious cooks own both bags and switch based on the protein. If you only cook one or the other (brisket-heavy household vs poultry-heavy household), buy the matching pellet first.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails class=\"pd-gmgtb-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eWhat is the best pellet for brisket?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"pd-gmgtb-faq-answer\"\u003eFor Central Texas-style brisket where bold smoke flavour leads, the GMG Texas Blend is an excellent choice. The Black Oak base holds the cooking temperature steady across a 12 to 14 hour low-and-slow cook, the dominant Hickory produces the classic Texas BBQ smoke profile, and the hint of Mesquite adds the Lone Star character without becoming overwhelming. For competition-style brisket where presentation matters more than smoke intensity, the milder BBQr's Delight Contest Mix produces a more subtle smoke ring and mahogany bark. Both work for brisket: the choice depends on your preferred smoke profile.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails class=\"pd-gmgtb-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eHow does Texas Blend compare to pure Hickory pellets?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"pd-gmgtb-faq-answer\"\u003ePure 100% Hickory pellets produce a more aggressive, single-note smoke profile that can become overwhelming on long cooks (16 hours plus). Texas Blend mellows the Hickory dominance by combining it with the cleaner-burning Black Oak base and using only a hint of Mesquite for character. The result is a smoke profile that still tastes distinctly Texas, but with more depth and less harshness. For shorter cooks where you want pure aggressive Hickory smoke (a quick rack of ribs, for example), single-wood Hickory pellets can work. For long cooks like brisket, the Texas Blend's balanced composition is generally a better choice.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails class=\"pd-gmgtb-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eWhat is the ash content?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"pd-gmgtb-faq-answer\"\u003eLess than 1% ash content. This matters for pellet grills with auger systems and fire pots: low ash production means the burn stays consistent across long cooks and the fire pot does not need vacuuming every two cooks. Cheaper oak-filler pellets often produce 2 to 3% ash, which builds up faster in the fire pot and can affect burn characteristics and air flow over time.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails class=\"pd-gmgtb-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eHow long does a 12.7kg bag last?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"pd-gmgtb-faq-answer\"\u003eApproximately 25 hours of burn time at low-and-slow temperatures (around 110°C) or approximately 12 hours at higher temperatures (around 180°C). In practical terms, a 12.7kg bag typically covers 2 full brisket cooks (12 to 14 hours each), 4 pulled pork shoulder cooks, or 8 to 10 weeknight pellet grill sessions. Exact consumption varies with weather (cold weather increases burn rate noticeably), the specific grill model, and your cook temperatures.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails class=\"pd-gmgtb-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eAre GMG pellets the same as Traeger or Pit Boss pellets?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"pd-gmgtb-faq-answer\"\u003eNo. Each pellet grill manufacturer produces their own pellet range with different wood blends, density specifications, and tuning. The 6mm food-grade pellet standard is universal across all brands (every pellet works in every grill), but the manufacturer-branded pellets are tuned to that specific brand's auger feed rate and PID controller. GMG Texas Blend is tuned to GMG grills. Traeger pellets are tuned to Traeger grills. Pit Boss to Pit Boss. The differences in tuning are subtle but real, particularly on long cooks where consistency matters most.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails class=\"pd-gmgtb-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eWhy does the Texas Blend have a \"hint\" of mesquite rather than more?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"pd-gmgtb-faq-answer\"\u003eMesquite is the most assertive of the American BBQ smoke woods. Pure mesquite is excellent for short, high-heat cooks (Texas tacos, mesquite-grilled fajitas, quick steaks) where its earthy character is the star. On long cooks (brisket, pork shoulder), mesquite turns bitter and overpowering. The Texas Blend uses just enough mesquite to add the unmistakable Lone Star character to the smoke profile without crossing into the harshness that defines pure mesquite on a 14-hour cook. The result is \"Texas-style\" smoke that you can run for a full long cook without the finished product tasting bitter.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails class=\"pd-gmgtb-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eHow should I store the 12.7kg bag?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"pd-gmgtb-faq-answer\"\u003eStore in a cool, dry place. Reseal the bag tightly after each use. Pellets are highly hygroscopic: they absorb moisture from humid air and degrade quickly if left exposed. Common signs of degraded pellets include swelling, sawdust at the bottom of the bag, and inconsistent burn behaviour. For long-term storage of opened bags, transfer pellets to an airtight container or sealed plastic bin. Stored correctly in a sealed container, pellets last indefinitely.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails class=\"pd-gmgtb-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eCan I pick up from the showroom?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"pd-gmgtb-faq-answer\"\u003eYes.
