Is it possible or does it burn too fast? I'm using a vertical smoker and I thought maybe if I wrapped the sawdust in tinfoil or used a gastro tray on top of the coals that might work?

Or am I better of just buying wood chips from somewhere?
 
I have a Masterbuilt analog electric and I've found it works best with dry saw dust. Not knowing your heat source, at most you may have to dampen the dust but it should be fine for hot smoking no matter what the fuel.
