Hi, I use pellets when doing snack stick or sausage I have a smokette.
you could use them for cold smoking too.
I like them for low temp cooking, under 200F
to add, I dont use the initial heating cycle for the pellets. After that period is over, I then add the box in. I
then hit them with a map torch to ignite them to get them started.
Its something I think would be a nice feature, a bypass for the ignition period (or how ever you want to call it)
also one of those amazen tubes work good too, same process
