Do these pellets do the heating or do you use them with charcoal or electric element?

They do the heating. I think you could use them with charcoal, but they aren't designed that way. You can't soak them or they turn into dust. For coal or gas i would buy lump wood.

The pellets primary use is in a specialized pellet grill. Pellet grills do not use charcoal, wood chips, etc. only pellets. You can use these pellets in other types of grills if you use a smoking tube.

They do the heating, you need a pellet grill. I don't know how good they would work on gas, charcoal or electric.

yes, they are your fuel source for btu, as well as great smoke production, you could use them with charcoal for great smoke flavor, these pellets are made for pellet smoker which is your heat as well as for smoke on lower feed rates 180 degree,s or on smoke setting. also these pellets are the best i have ever used

These will provide the heat to cook on their own. I use them with a pellet fed grill though that has an ignition source and times the release of a certain number of pellets based on what temperature you are trying to achieve. Similar to a pellet stove.

I don't recommend the use of steel wool of any grade on the heating element of an electric grill. The danger is that tiny bits of steel wool could be left on the element that could potentially spark and cause a fire. I use and highly recommend a nylon-based scrubber like Scotch Brite or a microfiber-based scrubber. Use it while the grill is still warm but not so hot as to burn yourself. Regular use after grilling will prevent buildup on the element.

I used an Esbit fuel tab and it worked fine. Not sure of the burning temp on those. There is a small grate on the bottom that the fuel/wood, whatever sits on. Eventually these may burn out I'm thinking, but maybe not. They look to be an easy fix anyway. Great stove.

I love this pellet grill, I would add a smoke generator to it I did. Go to smoke daddy.com . It depends on the temp you want, higher the temp the faster they burn. The temps are 160 degrees to 480 degrees.

I use the Kingsford competition briquettes. They work great. I strongly discourage using lump charcoal for this device. It burns VERY hot and VERY quickly... sort of the opposite of what you are trying to accomplish with a smoker setup.

You can ignite the gas side with the burners but need a starter on the charcoal side. We use those paraffin/sawdust squares or "fat wood".

I have just used it on a gas grill. If you have a heat source it shoul make smoke. I have never used a pellet grill so I might not be the best resource.

Yes, It can be used on an electric stove element, gas stove top, induction stove top, blow torch, camp fire, charcoal, bbq grill. Remember to turn it a few times. The pie iron absorbs the heat and will continue to cook when you turn it. Yes you can peek and check too. Yes I have used all methods listed above from the mid 60s to present.

I use a charcoal chimney to light natural charcoal. Be sure that charcoal is well lit.

I have had no issues with using them on flat top electric stoves. Just have to use a lower temp.

I have a gas stove and it works wonderfully. As long as you have a diffuser, which you must use, then you can use gas or electric. If you do not use the diffuser the tangine will crack.

Helps produce smoke by smoldering Pellets and chips. Not a heat source. Works perfectly with an electric master built so I don't ha e to load chips every 90 minutes

no, i use wood kindling, then add larger wood chunks and/or mesquite (sp?) wood until i get a good layer of coals. i don't use conventional briquets (sp?)dan

I use charcoal to get fire started the just use wood to do the smoking , works good for me that way

I haven't ever tried it although the owner's manual specifically says to not use pellets. I don't think they would smell but it may not work as well seeing as the pellets would interfere with the air flow within the grill.

You can get this electric or charcoal. I have the electric model and am satisfied with the performance.

The packs are the heating element. You can use them until they get damaged. Just make sure to follow the instructions so you do not over heat them. I have not had any issues with mine.
