A workable size chip for the pellet smoker hopper<\/p><\/div>\n

Since our start as a company in 2005, we’ve heard this question asked more times than we can count.\u00a0\u00a0Is there any way to use wood chips with my\u00a0 pellet smoker?<\/em><\/p>\n

The equipment manufacturer protection response is,\u00a0No<\/em>.\u00a0 But, as with any thought of a new potential sales market, many manufacturers wanted a means of saying “yes”.<\/p>\n

Leading the Way<\/h2>\n

Years ago, there were attempts to integrate hardwood sawdust in the pellet hopper.\u00a0 Thinking that sawdust is so fine it would never cause an equipment breakdown, many pellet owners used this method.\u00a0 In the end, it never gained legs due to no change in overall flavor.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t until recently that one grill\/smoker manufacturer wanted to step into the pellet smoker market.\u00a0 You might say, that’s nothing new but this was a different effort.\u00a0 Instead of just making a piece of equipment, this manufacturer tested the affect of combing pellets and wood chips on the equipment.\u00a0 He found it worked!<\/p>\n

Did We Follow?<\/h2>\n

We include a database on our site called,\u00a0Match Your Cooker<\/strong><\/a> that allows for product match to be made to hundreds of equipment brands on the market.\u00a0 There are all types of equipment listed: ceramic cookers, kettle grills, electric grill\/smokers, offset smoker, commercial-grade brands, bullet smokers, etc.\u00a0 One group of equipment that we don’t include and won’t plan to include is pellet smokers.<\/p>\n

The reason is simple.\u00a0 The majority of pellet grills and smokers instructions clearly state to only use pellets.\u00a0 There is an unspoken understanding that if you go against this instruction, you will void any warranty.<\/p>\n

Minuto\u00ae Chip Option<\/h2>\n

SmokinLicious\u00ae<\/strong> prides itself on helping others navigate the wood cooking world.\u00a0 For this reason, we can state that using our\u00a0Minuto\u00ae Wood Chips<\/strong><\/a> in sizing #4 IS an option for pellet smokers.\u00a0 The key is in the mix between the pellets and wood chips.\u00a0 There are many suggestions for using equal parts of each but we feel it is more important to always blend a larger percentage of pellets to chips.\u00a0 The hopper is designed for the compressed wood pieces that are called pellets.\u00a0 Wood chips are not compressed.\u00a0 The other key factor is to only use wood chips that are sifted or screened into one concise size. Remember, pellets are uniform.\u00a0 The wood chips must mimic this uniformity.<\/p>\n

This could finally be the first modification in using a pellet smoker for increased smoke flavor.\u00a0 It’s a great time to experiment.\u00a0 A great time to share your findings with others who love the ease of use of the pellet smoker but want just a bit more for the flavor outcome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
