Traeger of course is a big brand name is the world of grilling. You'd think people would automatically assume everything is good. Yet there are people still asking the question of the Traeger wood pellets are good. We'll dig deeper into the Amazon listing to see what we can find and even ask Chat GPT for some insight. So let's take a look shall we?
First let's take a look at the product itself. Here we have the signature 20 pound pellet bag. It is currently going for $19.95 on Amazon and it has a 4.7 star score on over 20,000 ratings.
Just to be safe we ran the listing through both Review Meta and Fakespot. It looks pretty good. Review Meta did find a decent chunk of ratings as suspect and adjusted the score slightly from 4.7 to 4.6. Fakespot ranked the ratings at a B grade and felt the score was accurate. So based on that we feel good that the feedback on the listing is not lying to us.
So first let's see what Chat GPT has to say...

Safe analysis by the AI. When we dig deeper into the feedback on Amazon we do notice one thing that is negative and that's the bag. Customers remarked that during shipping the bag would tear or be open. Since that is an issue of packaging and not the pellets themselves we can rank that low on importance. The more important traits like taste, smell, quality, performance, value, and burn time were ranked positive. The only important trait ranked neutral was smoke, as some didn't feel the pellets provided the kind of smoke they got from others.
Other than that though it's hard to not say that this product is good based on all the evidence we see.
