Bear Mountain Hickory pellets.
Hickory is the second strongest-selling Bear Mountain pellet flavour in Australia. It makes sense for cooks who want a bolder, more classic BBQ wood profile, especially with richer meats and longer cooks.
A stronger classic BBQ choice.
Hickory is for cooks who want the wood flavour to show up more clearly. It is not the quietest pellet in the range, so it suits food that can carry a stronger BBQ profile.
What to cook with Hickory.
Brisket and beef
A strong choice for brisket, beef ribs and richer beef cooks where a bolder BBQ profile belongs.
Pork ribs and pulled pork
Useful when you want pork to carry more classic BBQ smoke character. If you prefer a softer profile, Gourmet Blend, Apple, Cherry or Maple may be a better starting point.
Lamb
Can suit lamb shoulder, lamb ribs and other richer lamb cooks where the meat can handle a more direct wood profile.
Chicken
Use with a bit more care on chicken. Hickory can work, but softer pellets like Gourmet Blend, Apple, Cherry or Maple are usually the safer first step.
Who it suits.
Hickory suits cooks who already know they want a stronger BBQ flavour, venues with richer smoked meats on the menu, and pellet smoker owners moving beyond the safest all-rounder choice.
