Hi Guys,

I accidentally bought a bag of pellets when my smoker calls for chips.  I have a masterbuilt sportsman elite.  

I just cured it using the pellets and after curing, most of the pellets were black and only a few pellets were actually smoldering.

Does it make much of a difference if someone was to use pellets instead of chips?  What are the pros or cons and/or things to watch out for?

Thanks,

Greg
 
I looked at the product your link takes me to.  I am not sure how I would use it though. Would I try to place that thing full of pellets right on top of my electric element?  It looks like I only have about a one inch clearance.  How tall is that unit?
