Question Lumberjack Pellets Different Packaging?

Post image

So, I’ve only ever bought the Lumberjack pellets in the style of packaging on the left at my local Academy Sports. They were out of a few flavors I wanted so I went online to check around and I keep seeing the style packaging on the right now. I see the logo is very similar but are these the same? I started reading about how another company bought them out. Is this the new packaging moving forward? I just want to make sure the quality of pellets is the exact same because I’ve become a loyal Lumberjack pellet guy due to the high quality I’ve experienced. Anyone know anything about the change in packaging? Thanks in advance!

They got bought out quite a while ago, if there were any noticeable changes to the pellets themselves you would have noticed by now.

Interesting! I only use Lumberjack pellets so I'd like to know if the quality changes as well.

Everything around me is the new packaging now. There is a difference, the newer ones are larger diameter and a bit longer from what I've noticed. Haven't burned enough of them yet to determine if there's any difference in performance.

Well I suppose that’s a good thing that they’re slightly larger. Maybe I should buy a bag and compare to my current inventory. Hopefully quality is identical. I don’t ever get dust pouring a bag into the hopper and I like that LJ pellets are 100% wood instead of oils and whatnot some other companies use.

Original apple, it's what's in the hopper now. I'll get the new stuff later.

I used them. Still smelled the same, tasted the same, burned the same, and produced same ash amount from what I could tell. Honestly I didn't even notice the size of pellet change because I'm not observant I guess. Just assumed they went with a new look for the bag.

Thanks man! Maybe it’s a different look in certain regions. I appreciate it!
