Best Value Maple Pellets Per Lb

Pit Boss Maple Pellets – 50 Cents to 65 Cents Per Lb

I’m sure you’re aware of Pit Boss. They are one of the most well-known and widely available of the pellet grill/smoker brands. They also have one of the large ranges of pellet flavours.

They do sell Maple pellets in 20 lb and 40 lb bags. It would appear these are blended pellets, they are likely a Mapel and Oak blend of pellets, but the percentages are unknown.

You can pick up a 40 lb bag of these pellets directly from Pit Boss ($20). Amazon ($21) has them in stock from time to time, and Lowes ($13) stock the 20 lb bags.

• Typical Price Per lb: 50 Cents to 65 Cents
• Bag Size: 20 lbs & 40 lbs
• Availability: PitBoss-Grills.com, Amazon.com & Lowes.com

Cuisinart Maple Bourbon Pellets – 85 Cents Per Lb

These pellets from Cuisinart are made partly from reclaimed Oak bourbon barrels. However, there is also a percentage of Maple pellets as part of the mix, but we don’t know the percentage.

The availability of these Cuisinart Maple Bourbon pellets is very limited. I’ve only found them for sale at Walmart ($17) in 20 lb bags. Therefore the price per lb is 85 Cents.

• Typical Price Per lb: 85 Cents
• Bag Size: 20 lbs
• Availability: Walmart.com

Crown Royal Whiskey Pellets – $1 Per Lb

Nope, I’ve not made a mistake. While these pellets are indeed made from Oak whiskey barrels, that’s only 50% of the mix. The remaining 50% of these blended pellets are made from Sugar Maple.

The availability of these Crown Royal pellets is currently pretty limited. I can only find them a Lowes ($40) in 40 lb bags. Therefore the price per lb works out at $1 per lb.

• Typical Price Per lb: $1
• Bag Size: 40 lbs
• Availability: Lowes.com

Kingsford Maple Pellets – $1 to $1.25 Per Lb

Kingsford has been offering charcoal since the 1920s, and they are now also in the pellet game, offering a wide range of pellet flavours.

It would appear that these are a hardwood pellet blend and not 100% Maple pellets. However, I’m waiting on feedback from Kingsford to confirm this.

They are available at Home Depot ($20) in 20 lb bags where their own product description states ‘100% Maple Hardwood‘. However, that description doesn’t appear on the packaging!?

You can also pick them up from Lowes ($25). Therefore the price per lb works out between $1 and $1.25.

• Typical Price Per lb: $1 to $1.25
• Bag Size: 20 lbs
• Availability: HomeDepot.com & Lowes.com

Bear Mountain Maple Pellets – $1.2 to $1.35

Bear Mountain offer a wide range of pellet flavors and their Apple, Cherry, Hickory and Oak pellets are some of the cheapest currently on the market.

They also offer Maple branded pellets. Like the other Bear Mountain pellets, these are a hardwood blend with a percentage of Maple pellets. However, the percentages are not provided.

Getting a hold of these Maple pellets is a lot harder than the other Bear Mountain pellet flavors. However, I still found them for sale in 20 lb bags at Amazon ($27) and Walmart ($24).

Therefore the price per lb for these Bear Mountain Maple pellets works out between $1.2 and $1.35.

• Typical Price Per lb: $1.2 to $1.35
• Bag Size: 20 lbs & 40 lbs
• Availability: Amazon.com & Walmart.com

BBQr’s Delight Sugar Maple Pellets – $1.35 Per Lb

One of the oldest brands when it comes to BBQ pellets, one of the latest flavors which have been added to their range are Sugar Maple pellets which are blended with Oak pellets.

These Sugar Maple pellets are harder to get a hold of compared to the other BBQr’s Delight pellets. However, I have found them for sale at Amazon ($27) and Walmart ($27) in 20 lb bags.

Therefore the price per lb for these pellets is $1.35.

• Typical Price Per lb: $1.35
• Bag Size: 20 lbs
• Availability: Amazon.com & Walmart.com
