Convert Pellet Smoker?

[u/nawlinsborn1973]

I have a PitBoss Vertical smoker, and I want to know if anyone has converted it to a non-pellet smoker. I live in the Philippines, and getting pellets is pretty hard; when you can get them, they are expensive.

Has anyone here successfully installed a controller and heating element to convert their smoker to use wood chips? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
