Nice, never used Bear Mountain, how do they compare to Weber or other brands?

I don't have any experience, but I just placed an order so I'll report back in a few weeks! Free shipping also, so you can't beat the price.

Hopefully not a harbinger of the wind-down of smoke seasons for us Northeners!

My plan is to run mine all winter. Will use more fuel but so be it.

My order showed up today. Might try the pellets out on some ribs tomorrow.

Finally got around to using the bear mountain pellets today. Did some veggies for salsa and some chickens for pulled chicken. I used the applewood pellets. Ran them at 225 for about an hour, then 245 for 3 hours and then raised temp to 265 for the last hour. Appearance wise, the apple pellets are a bit darker than Weber's and are a bit "fatter". I didn't have any issues with jamming (on latest firmware and have all upgrades / fixes in place).

No complaints on the flavor. I will say that the pellets produced a ton of ash. My ash pan was full after the cook (it had 5 hours of ash in it before starting from my last batch of ribs) and the outside of the smoker had considerable ash on it.

Hope this helps!

Turned out great. A favorite amongst family and friends here! I forgot to grab some photos. Next time I will.
