What is the capacity for wood chips/pellets? how often do you need to replenish?

It holds about 2-3 cups of chips. I add more approximately every 2-4 hours depending on how smoky I want the meat and the temperature I am cooking at.

Eric I used the Cajun injector once and sent it back. It leaked all over my deck; I did not care for the pellets. The amount of chips or pellets you use depends on the amount of smoke flavor you like. I never use no more than two loads when I am smoking for about 6 hours for two to four hours one load.

Funny you should ask. Even though I bought mine two months ago I am curing it this morning and plan to smoke after that. My book says one ounce or 1/4 cup. I will find out after this evening and reply again

I agree the capacity is about 3 cups. I switched to a larger wood chip and I soak them in water over night to slow the burning of the chips. Now the chips tend to smoke for about 1 1/2 hours. I typically only smoke for 2 hours any way then wrap the meat in foil to let it slow cook and save moisture.

no idea, but i buy 3-4 bags at a time and leave them in a cupboard for months and they are fine, and grow great. i just noticed caps lock is on. sorry about that. since i'm too lazy to rewrite this, just pretend brian blessed is shouting out this hopefully helpful advice.

Depends on how much you intend to use it. Since I am the only user and I don't go out for more than a day/overnight I only fill it about half full.

Keep the materials in the little bag, as the rodents will chew through it. We lifted our garbage can "shed" up and threw a few underneath, as we knew that dogs/pets would be unable to get to the bags. A Week later the bags were all torn with the pellets mostly gone..

It really depends on the type of wood you are using. If you were to purchase the split wood that department stores sell in the fall/winter/christmas time, once you have your fire going the stove itself will hold about 3 14 to 16 inches pieces then it will last you for aprox 4 to 5 hours. the harder the wood the longer the fire.

Depends what you are using it with and how much oak flavor you wish to impart into whatever you are putting the chips into. I went with 2 oz in 5 gallons of a stout, but that was very oaky.

I fill the chip container entirely full every time we smoke, have never had to refill during a 6 hour smoke time. ecp

You don't need wood chips. The flavor is in your seasoning. Smoke is an option.

Not sure what you had in mind but I use whole kernel corn. I'm sure pellets would be fine.

For me a 40 lb bag lasted about 5 minutes while I dumped the whole thing out around my property. It just depends how much you want to feed and where. I'll tell you that corn is like candy to squirrels, deer, hogs and more. No matter what it wont last very long once you've dumped it.

yup you burn it in the stove. Suppost to use every time you put wood in but about a teaspoon a day should work, if its an outside boiler- use about 2 teaspoons a day. should work well.

4-5, 50 lb bags, depends how much you let it put out each day, I feed birds, and any who what some corn, deer,rabbits,squirrels,etc. My hopper full lasts about 3 weeks.

You could get close to that number but the number of pellets will vary. What I do is change the slot space and hit the feed buttton over a paper on the table and keep repeating the process till I get the desired amount.

if you break-up the flakes some it helps. You can also feed twice - 4 times a day but will probably run down battery pretty quick. I use both flakes and pellets combined in mine so they will at least get fed something since I am home only one per week to every other week.

It can hold quite a few of the plastic pellets. I'm not sure really how many. You just pour some in until it's full.

If the wood has to be granulated to work. You might be able to just buy smoking chips from the grocery store soak in water for 1/2 hour to soften and run through a food processor.

Approx. 6 inches by 6 inches and about 1 1/2 inches deep. But keep in mind that they only suggest 1/4 onces of pellets or about 1 hand full of chips be used twice only during a "smoke" otherwise your meat will have a creosote taste.
