My point is you're making an issue out of a non-issue. Who cares about briquettes and their makeup in a conversation about wood pellets? Where does soybean oil come into play talking about 100% wood? Your horse is dead. Doesn't need anymore beatingI have nothing against B& B or any others really. I’m just saying the use of soybean oil is not bad or harmful and it’s a marketing effort by the competitors to convince people that it is. People use briquettes all the time and they have contained soy binders for decades. The cheap ones contain 50% fillers but people don’t hesitate.
I’m just saying the whole issue is ridiculous. If you wish to believe it’s a real concern in any way, go ahead.
I have no idea. Then another poster said NOBODY WOULD PUT OIL IN A PIT. So I pointed out that soy oil is in every briquette which are used by thousands of world class pitmasters. That’s why I brought up briquettes. Get it? People put soy oil in their pits routinely but they aren’t afraid because nobody has falsely. Scared them into being scared. Geez. It’s not about your pellets. Not everything is about your pellets. My point is about Traeger pellets and the fact that people have been misinformed for years on the internet. I hate when people think soy oil is somehow bad because people like you have been conditioned to think so. I hope you don’t season your meat. Oh the horror. The meat should be 100% meat. Never a binder. And for the record, I’ll keep beating the horse until it finally sinks in that a trace amount of soy oil in a pellet is not a bad or dangerous thing. If you prefer to use one without, that’s not bad either. I also wonder how other companies lubricate their machines if not with some sort of food grade oils? It’s hilarious. They have to use something. Machines don’t run without lubrication. I’m sorry you have been hood winked for years but it really doesn’t matter. Use whatever you want.
