Yes, there are many types of pellets for pellet smokers. I"ve tried hickory, pecan, apple, mesquite and oak. I've liked them all, but, find the mesquite too strong for a long cook, but that's just a personal preference. The main advantage of them to me is that they hold the temp set by a temp dial without any effort on your part. That's probably sacrilege to a purist, but I'm just looking to make really good barbecue without having to baby a fire for 10 hours straight.
