Jack Daniel's Smoking Pellets are made from the used mellowing charcoal from the Jack Daniel's Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee. This charcoal is soaked in whiskey for weeks before exchanging for a fresh batch of charcoal. The charcoal is mixed with oak and processed into wood pellets for BBQ smoking. Jack Daniel's Smoking Pellets are wonderful with beef and pork, especially steaks and hamburgers.
