Okay everyone. After starting this little pellet grill adventure I've got a few questions.
First what would everyone suggest for ordering pellets in bulk?
This weekend I was not able to make it to the cook because I was doing other stuff. However my nephew went over and did leg of lamb on my mom's smoke fire. When I got back in the neighborhood I stopped by her house and she had a to go plate (that I haven't tried yet but I'm looking forward to) for me. The thing is, I'm pretty sure everything we've done has used up 40 plus pounds of pellets already. And she was reading that you have to use Weber pellets which are expensive. I've already squashed that for her and told her the last bag we ran through was mostly lumberjack or some other brand, I don't remember now. By the way no issues running the other bag through it. So now that that is squashed what is a good place and your opinion to order pellets in bulk from.
Second, what wood do you prefer and why. I know that changes with what you're cooking and personal preference Play a big part of that, but I'd still like the input.
And finally (at least for now), has anyone tried the charcoal pellets yet? Do they actually give the charcoal flavor to the food? Being charcoal do they burn more efficiently then the pellets do?
And anything else you can add feel free.

If you leave a suggestion for bulk pellets please also provide a link. Thank you.
