That pellet tube nearly ruined my brisket at 2am

I tried one of those smoke tubes for cold smoking cheese and figured I'd toss it in the smoker with my 14lb packer from HEB. It put out so much thick white smoke that the brisket came out tasting like a campfire and the bark turned bitter, not in a good way. Took me 8 hours to realize my cheap tube was smoldering too fast because I packed the pellets too loose, not using the right density. Anyone else had a smoke tube backfire on them, or did I just get a dud from my local Ace Hardware?
