TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - FOOD - Preferred Components: The lubricant includes an edible lubricant. The lubricant includes soybean oil. The wood particles include at least one of alder and oak wood particles. The grape vine particles and the wood particles have one of an average overall diameter and an average overall width of 1/8-1/2 inch. The wood pellet contains a ratio of 1 part by weight of grape vine particles to 6 to 12 parts by weight of wood particles. Preferred Method: The method (m1) further involves drying base grape vine and milling the base grape vine to form the grape vine particles; and compressing the wood particles, the grape vine particles, and the lubricant into pellets. The step of compressing the wood particles, the grape vine particles, and the lubricant involves compressing the wood particles, the grape vine particles, and the lubricant into pellets using a die. The step of reducing a base wood includes reducing the base wood into the wood particles by milling, and where reducing a base grape vine includes reducing the base grape vine into the grape vine particles by milling. The step of reducing a base wood involves reducing the base wood that includes at least one of wood shavings, chunks, chips, sawdust, and whole wood from one of alder and oak, into the wood particles. The step of reducing a base wood includes reducing the base wood into the wood particles having one of an average overall diameter and an average overall width of 1/8-1/2 inch. The step of reducing a base grape vine involves reducing the base grape vine into the grape vine particles having one of an average overall diameter and an average overall width of 1/8-1/2 inch. The step of compressing the mixture involves compressing the mixture of the wood particles, the grape vine particles, and the lubricant into pellets using a die. The mixing the wood particles and the grape vine particles involves mixing the wood particles and the grape vine particles at a ratio of 1 part by weight of grape vine particles to 6-12 parts by weight of wood particles with the lubricant.
