Can you use smoke pellets instead of wood chips?

Yes you can but you have to watch it because I had them flare up even in the pouch! The pellets smoke well though, used it on my Bull gas grill, just throw it right on top of the grates!

Pellets only. Wood chips are a different composition and would not work with the auger

Any pellets or chips work as long as they are not too big. The only complaint I have about this awesome smoker is the pellet loading shoot. It's retarded to say the least....but once you find your knack for using it the smoker works quite well!!! I love mine!!!!

You do not need to use wood chips. In fact, I have yet to use wood chips, but may try them this Thanksgiving.

You do not have to use wood chips if you don't want to. They are mainly to add flavor.

Hi Alvin! It is my understanding that you need the granulated wood chips. When you put the granulated wood chips in it causes a lot of smoke, so, I imagine if you used regular wood chips the smoke would be ridiculous. I wouldn't try it. Hope this helps.

Hi, Shawn, No, you don't have to use the wood chips in the Masterbuilt...I've cooked many turkeys, ducks and chickens in mine without smoking them, and they come out moist and delicious! Smoking is totally optional. Good cooking! Tony

I guess you could. I use pellet carbon when I have to put carbon in them so the media stays put.

As the others have said, you can use chunks but some may need to be split. You will be unable to get the smoke tray lid on otherwise. You could leave it off but if the chunks are too big then the water pan won't fit right either. I often prefer chunks because this smoker eats through chips very quickly.

If your smoker accepts smoking wood pellets then yes! I've tried a bunch of different brands and these give off the best smoke flavor. I currently use a char grill electric side box smoker and these have given me competition BBQ!

No. Wood-based chips would give you a smoky flavor. Charcoal-based briquettes could give you an odor. But this is ceramic material and it is neutral in terms of emitting any odor or flavor whatsoever. It's main purpose is to more evenly distribute heat and mitigate flame flareups.

No, I use charcoal and then add hardwood "chunks" (not chips) that I purchase from a Walmart and they really add to the flavor of the meat I smoke in my Dyna-Glo. Just be sure and soak them in water for a couple of hours before you get started. That way they will smolder rather than burn up. You can get hickory, mesquite, cherry, apple, and other hardwood chunks for different flavors.

I only use CHUNKS,and also place the chuncks on a Cast iron fry pan and place the fry pan on top of the ring that comes with the smoker. and there are pros and cons on weather to soak your wood, I dont, but that will be your call.

I really can't answer that I can only "assume" you can since I think you can get the same type of wood pellets at hardware stores like Home Depot...and they are a lot cheaper, or so I was told by an employee at Petsmart.

Yes you can, I have used mainly charcoal and mix it with about 15% of flavored woods. Hope this helps

You need to use the bisquettes... you can buy them in a variety of hardwoods, but because of the design of the smoker, only bisquettes can be used.
