So, as I am talking to my parents about the whole family recipe for sausage, my Mom asks me if I am using saw dust. I have never even heard of that, but apparently that is what they generally have used to smoke their sausage over the years. For our Smoking-It models, I am not sure how that would even work. I am curious if anyone has ever tried this?
I have the wood insert for chips, but I don't think it would work very well for sawdust. Also, wouldn't the smoker get this sawdust too hot and start a fire? We are going to smoke at 140 so I think that is pretty warm to have sawdust that close to the heating coil.

I use Hickory Saw Dust in my Big Chief. But you would NOT want to use it in the Smokin-It.
I would use chips with the chip screen.

Agree with Gregg - no on the saw dust.
