Whiskey blend Pit Boss pellets

The back of this package claims these pellets don't go well with pork or poultry. Anyone use them effectively as such? Comments?

I have only tried the Jack Daniels and Jim Beam pellets. I think that they go well with everything.

I haven't used the Pit boss brand but I have used bourbon pellets on a pork butt. I thought the slightly sweet smoke went nicely with the pork.

I've used Cuisinart Bourbon pellets on ribs, turned out good, along with the Cuisinart Bourbon/Maple rub.

Thanks for the replies. Will have to try it. I don't think it can be bad. After all it's all oak.

I'm with Ant, the sweet smoke is wonderful on everything. I mix these with Lumberjack Char-Hickory...

Did a roast beef with PB whiskey pellets yesterday. Came out a perfect medium and was tasty and juicy after 4 hours. Look forward to trying different brands off whiskey pellets. This cook turned out great but, as usual, not a ton of smoke flavor. Even used a smoke tube.

I’ve used apple pellets with a Montreal maple rub. Was real good

Just finished a batch of Pit Boss apple pellets. Next apple cook will be using Bear Mountain. This Roast beef was Binded with Worcestershire and spiced with SPG and Weber Honey garlic rub. Really good!
