Thanks. I have the Bella. It keeps getting clogged up and I'm tired of having to go outside with a screwdriver every 30 minutes to knock the wood and pellets downFrom two website stores:
According to the SmokeDaddy website pellets are not recommended. Just chips and chunks.
"Wood Chips/Chunks are the recommended fuel type (Not Wood Pellets)"
According to the Smokin-it website, their Bella cold smoker can use a mix of pellets and chips.
"Wood pellets or wood chips are recommended for use
"You can also use a mixture of 50/50 wood chips and wood pellets, wood chips need to be small in size for peak performance"
Have you contacted Steve at Smokin-it and see if he has any advice? I know there are a lot of Bela owners and have not read of any problems that I can remember nor have I read of any clogging problems with a SmokeDaddy. Maybe an open coil spring would help?Thanks.

I can see where that would be a real problem. Wish I had a solution for you.Condensation forms causing the pellets to swell up. Once they swell, they don't feed down to the bottom of the generator to burn. I constantly have to go outside and break up the clump with a screwdriver. I have to do this every 20-30 minutes or so.
Thanks rjob. This was some great information."SmokeDaddy Magnum P.I.G and Pellet Pro PID upgrade for my PB Austin XL"
