when im smoking turkey i have used pecan pellets with good results scattering them in during the cook. you need to be careful with the source for true smoke flavor. i lifted this info off the web about treager pellets, they blend and flavor different base woods
The base wood if you are on the west coast is alder and the east coast is oak.
Mesquite or Hickory 100% base wood (alder or oak) with flavor oils no actual Mesquite or Hickory wood in the pellet
Apple, Pecan or Cherry 70% base wood 30% Apple, Pecan or Cherry wood
Maple 100% Maple wood
Alder on the west coast is 100% Alder on east coast 70% oak 30% Alder
Oak on the east coast is 100% Oak on the west coast 70% Alder 30% Oak

Simply tossing hand fulls of pellets in won't be effective. They are so small that they will fall through. I like to make a foil pouch full of pellets. Poke some holes in the top and lay it right over the smoldering coals. You'll get a good smoke from the pellets this way.

Sounds like it will be comparable to using chips“There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body.”

If I am going to use pellets in my Egg, I put a few handfuls in one of these things. I saw a guy using one in an XL at a contest 3 years ago so I tried it. I was surprised how long the pellets lasted inside the tube. It seemed like a sustained release for most of the rib cook (about 4 1/2 hours). It's pictured with a mini-max but I've only used it in large kamados.
They are A-maze-N Smoke Tubes or something like that. I think it's the same people that make that cold smoker.

I use it for cold smokes on the Egg, but it will surely work well for smoking low and slows on an Egg.South Jersey Pine Barrens. XL BGE , Assassin 24, Weber Kettle, CharBroil gasser, AMNPS -
Thanks for the info. I have one of those a mazin smoke tubes I used on my traeger. The pellets I use are supposed to be what they say on the bag per the people on the pellet cooker forums.

I watched a competitive rib competition on TV where Johnny Trigg laughed because one of his opponents was using pellets. He said something similar to "Whenever I see a guy using pellets, I know he is no competition at all." Every since, I can't bring myself to use pellets.
