In reply to Snoweider:
Not tried wood pellets. I had a stash of dried pine cones at home, pistachio shells (middle class TV snack fodder) and some wood chippings (the kind gardens use) and then picked up some more smaller cones and twigs on route through a wood. I did cheat by using a bit of fire lighter to start!
The wood I picked up was a bit damp and tended to smoke at first before combusting properly.
My site was quite exposed so I'd have gotten a better performance from a more sheltered spot. But the food was lovely, with that smokey flavour. I ate the halloumi as each slice got done straight from the pan. The dog, who was staring at me throughout, got one slice (and my second last sausage)
I've been looking into wood pellets.
