David, I can’t tell by looking at the photo how small your chips are. If they pack together to tightly they might be able to be mixed with pellets and used in the Bella. I have been using commercially produced wood chips mixed with pellets in my Bella. The pellets alone impart a harsh almost acrid taste to the meat. Maybe it’s just the pellets I have. I haven’t made an attempt to use just chips alone but I think I’ll give it a try. I think using just chips would produce a much better quality smoke if they would burn properly in the Bella.
