Prior to picking up a kettle and SnS, I used one of those stainless perforated smoking tubes in the gas grill. I purchased a bag of pellets for that but now that I use the kettle instead of the gasser for things like steaks and pork tenderloins, the pellets are just taking up space. I am wondering if anyone has put pellets in the SnS in place of a wood chunk? It seems to me that it should work and I could get the smoke I need for the 45 minutes of so that the steaks are on. I could then save my wood chunks for the longer cooks. Any thoughts out there?

Pellets in the SnS?

No reason you can't use the tube with the SnS, i should think. I've also used pellets in a foil pouch with a hole or two in it and gotten plenty of smoke, but that was with black walnut, which is very strong. I don't think you'd get much smoke time just by tossing them in the fire, seems like they'd burn pretty quick.

You could use your tube just like you did on your gasser. I'd just light it and set it on the cooler side, under your grill grate, but out of the way of any drippings.

I have sprinkled pellets in my SnS for a quick hit of smoke on burgers. It works but they burn up very quickly.

Now I know what I'll do with my black walnut pellets. Wrap 'em, slot 'em, and toss on the SnS. Thanks Pit!
