Cherry adds the rose-pink colour and sweetness. Maple bridges them with a mellow, slightly sweet smoke that softens the edges.

Hickory provides the bold, bacony backbone you expect from American BBQ. Cherry adds a soft fruity sweetness and that signature rose-pink colour. Maple bridges them with a mellow, slightly sweet smoke that softens hickory's harder edges.

Each one ideally suits a different smoke profile, but you can only run one pellet at a time through your smoker. The Competition Blend is engineered so a single bag handles all four categories well, which is why it is one of the most popular pellets on the comp circuit.

Choose a single-flavour pellet like 100% Hickory or 100% Cherry when you want maximum intensity of one specific smoke profile, or when you're cooking for a specific outcome (Hickory for brisket bark, Cherry for smallgoods colour). Many pellet cooks keep MHC as their daily bag and one or two single flavours for specific cooks.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails class=\"pd-ljp-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eHow is MHC different from the Hickory Blend or Apple Blend?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"pd-ljp-faq-answer\"\u003eThe other blends use 60% de-barked Red Oak as a base with 40% of a single flavour wood on top. MHC has no oak base. It is three premium flavour woods (Maple, Hickory, Cherry) in equal proportions. That means a more layered, complex smoke profile with no filler wood at all. The trade-off is slightly more ash than the oak-base blends, but most pellet cooks find it worthwhile for the flavour depth.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails class=\"pd-ljp-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eWill these pellets work in my pellet grill?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"pd-ljp-faq-answer\"\u003eYes.
