Hickory pellets mixed with post oak pieces might be the greatest cheap investment I’ve made in some time. Food taste great and it’s so easy with a cheap stainless tube off Amazon.
I put it off to the opposite side of the hoper. I’m breaking chunks down so they fit. I place the chunk in and surround it with pellets and then add more.
This may sound a little weird, I fill and lite one while I'm outside goofing around just to smell it, like an incense.
I only ever use it for cold smoking bacon. I do that in the 590. I cover one of the vents with foil to keep a little more smoke in there with the bacon. I have yet to do this with the actual grill working though. Sometimes I think too much airflow is why some of these pellet grills don't have alot of smoke flavor. They burn too clean.
