Hi can anybody tell me if 8mm apple pellets would work ok in a 1500 .there is a supplier here in the uk that only does this size

I would suggest that you try the pellets and decide. The pellets here in the US are normally 6-6.5 MM at the largest.

Is it you want to use these or are struggling to find other pellets??

What brand are they??

I use Lumberjack and Cookshack.. both work great.

They are made in the uk by a company called ECOWOOD I've used lumberjack but supply here in uk in not allway guarantee so the 8 mm pellets might be worth a try just ordered one bag to try

The ones by ECO WOOD are either Fuel,Bedding or Litter pellets.... NOT food grade...
There's a few reliable food grade pellet suppliers here in the UK, i know the price of the ones you describe are very cheap but is it worth it when we've paid best part of £3000 to buy the smoker in the first place???

You are correct in saying ECOWOOD do only make litter pellets and heating pellets this company is based in cullompton Devon .The company I'm referring to are ECOWOOD BBQ they are based at coleshill tamworth they do a range of all the wood pellets just 8 mm in size I have used two bags and have gone through machine with no problem they are about £10 for 10 kg bag discounts apply with bulk order

Hmmmmmm... Apple, small bags of cherry.... and Walnut which they describe as "can leave a bitter taste on food".

I think i'll stick to Lumberjack and Cookshack/Fast eddie.

Useful for chunks though.
