Disclosed is a process for preparing wood pellets for barbequing or use in a smoker or pellet grill, by mixing hard wood particles with particles of fruit pomace and/or fruit waste and/or aromatic cellulosic materials. After drying, the source stream materials are ground to a desired size, and blended, and extruded. The heat of extrusion softens the lignin in the wood, which acts as a binder to form the pellets and holds the pellets together after the pellets cool.
