New Pit Boss Grill and new to pellet grill cooking

[Cowboy1955]

My biggest challenge will be what pellets to use. I have always used oak, pecan, and mesquite mixed on my stick smoker. Friends tell me to use the competition blend. Trial and error I suppose.

To me it’s really whatever you prefer.
One thing I do is to sift the pellets through a colander to get all the pellet dust out

I'm using the PB Classic pellets in my hopper; they have a mix of pecan, hickory, and mesquite. I don't get enough smokiness with this, so I used B&B mesquite pellets in a smoke tube on my last cook, and that worked really well for me. Yes, it's trial and error.

What does the pellet dust cause? Is that a problem?

Flame up and it sometimes throws a lot of pellet dust on the grill

Buddy, check out Smokinpecans.com They are a little spendy but are a nice addition. I'll run several inches of them in the bottom of the hopper then go to hickory sometimes.
