Can use pellets in a gas grill wood chip box?

No reason you couldn't. Why not use chips? Do you already have the pellets on hand?

If you have Grill Grates you can throw a handful of chips in the grooves.

Get a pellet tube if you want more smoke flavor.

I ordered a little metal tube that has holes in it and use it in my gas grill. Got it on Amazon for like $15 dollars.


I cut the top off an empty 2 liter Coke bottle and use that as a funnel for filling it. The diameter is a little larger than a typical funnel.


I just lay it on the grill grate and use a little blowtorch to get the pellets lit, while the grill itself is heating up.

It's not as good as regular smoker but I was impressed with the results. I got a good smoke ring on a brisket point cut I cooked.

I do it. I use a 32oz tomato can with some holes drilled in it. Fill it with wood chips soaked in water. Gives me about an hour of smoke. My wife really doesnt like a heavy smoke taste so it works out well. Of course, it's not nearly as good as an offset or pellet smoker.

I use wood chips, fill the can, light a few on fire off to the side, put them in can.
