$20 smoke tubes off Amazon work awesome

[eaglewing]

I use apple or cherry pellets with wood chips, whiskey barrel and cherry or apple

Prop on a wood chunk to give it an angle so they don't spill out and burn better...

 

[Kevin DeShazo]

Make sure Im understanding you, youre mixing pellets and chips in the tube?

I just got the tray but wanted to get thru the chips first before getting pellets

 

[eaglewing]

YES, it was gutzy but it is awesome... even chips almost too big will work fine...
The 'mix' is the way to go IMO for tubes... now for trays I cannot say I'm an expert, but the TUBES this works great.
You can see the ratio in the Vid

Wow that looks like a lot of white smoke

 

[BrianGSDTexoma]

I do same. Put some pellets in than chips shake continue until full. I tried just using chips but burns twice as fast.

That's some pretty dirty looking smoke there. I wouldn't be surprised that the chips are causing this.

 

[Dirty Steve]

Do you soak the chips in water first? I use a tube once in awhile but never thought of putting chips in. I do like the piece of wood for angling.

I've been running straight up pellets in my tube for years and never had any issues.. never had any need for anything extra.

 

[eaglewing]

NO, I don't soak,

Any added smoke to a pellet grill is good smoke, just like other fires, it's white at first but it settles down and gives good flavor

Yeah me too, but I tried this and I like it too. 'Pitmaster Preference' is king!!!!

If that did. Then all's good. I haven't seen that with using just pellets before. Not that nasty. Any smoke is good? I won't agree with that.
