I have my main article on the best value pellets for smoking/grilling. This article is to specifically cover the best-value Mesquite pellets currently on the market. However, some pellets are made from 100% Mesquite, and others are a Mesquite pellet blend with a high percentage of Oak pellets. Therefore, I’ve separated the two types of ‘Mesquite pellets’ to calculate the best price per lb. I’ve ordered the two lists below with the cheapest brand of pellets per lb first.

Best Value Mesquite Blended Pellets – Ordered Cheapest Per Lb
So the first pellets I’ve included below are Mesquite blended pellets. Hence, there will be a percentage of Mesquite pellets within the bag, typically 30%, and the rest will be typically Oak pellets.
Any brand which does not specifically state their pellets are made from 100% Mesquite, I’ve included them in the list below as Mesquite blended pellets.
As pellet bag sizes change (some are 20 lbs, some are 40 lbs), I focus on the price per lb, not per bag. This is an important distinction to make when looking to buy the best-value pellets.
The order of the different brands of Mesquite blended pellets below is the cheapest per lb first. However, prices can obviously change, but I’ll do my best to update this article over time.
Bear Mountain Mesquite Pellets – 43 Cents to 93 Cents Per Lb
Bear Mountain has been producing BBQ pellets since the 1990’s. Hence they are one of the most established pellet brands, and they offer a wide range of flavors.
Their Mesquite pellets, like all of their other pellet flavors (except their Oak pellets), are blended. Hence, there is a percentage of Mesquite wood in the bag but other hardwood (Oak) as well.
The availability of these pellets is pretty good. You can pick them up in 40 lb bags from Amazon ($37), Home Depot ($37), Walmart ($30) and Lowes ($17.50).
