Mick from Z Grills Australia advised that the temp spikes with these hotter Pellets are ok as their latest software is designed to get you to cooking temps faster now.
The new Pellets create more smoke and flavour than wood pellets, and provide a unique smoke profile that could be described as the semi sweet flavour of Charcoal & Smoky Roasted Chestnuts, that coats meats with a golden colour and creates a dark Crimson smoke ring.
