    I would believe it did as I get smoke ring at least as good as this one when using the Pitt Boss 100% hickory pellets.

    Crispy chicken skin?

    I agree with what a couple others have already said. Start with the temperature low to get the smoke flavor and then crank it up toward the end. Doesn't work for me all the time but better than not at all.

    Brisket?

    Favorite pellets for Brisket?

    I use the Pit Boss pellets as they are readily available. I have thought about trying the Lumberjack pellets but it would be a 45 minuet drive to get to a source to buy them.
