One other thing, with the smoke generator it seems like wood dust gives me better smoke than pellets. That is, a nice thin blue smoke. The pellets make white and even acrid brown smoke, but that might be the way that a smoke generator functions. Or they are just damp.
Anymore, I only use pellets on top of lump (by the handful). I don't even care for them for that, but my buddy tells me to keep some on hand in order to make sawdust for an emergency outhouse!
All that stated, if the food tastes good, it probably doesn't matter what the smoke looks like. Smoke helps keep the bugs away!
