Sounds like a good idea
I have been in Texas for the last few weeks and using mine again about every other day. I had some pellets that I had in a 5 gallon bucket. Well they got wet and are now saw dust.
When I load the small tray with the dust it will last just under an hour. I picked up a new bag of pellets for different flavor and the pellets will last 30- 45 mins. The biggest thing I have noticed
is that the pellets tend to catch fire and cause a big spike in temp and then I have to hit with some water to kick down the flames. Even with the thin sheet of metal over the trays.
With the saw dust I can use the water pan(filled with the saw dust) and chip pan and get 4-5 hours of smoke with out having to reload, The water pan starts on the side close to the chip pan and burns nice and slow.
