Can it yield successful results, or must dry hopping be done with leaf hops?
Pellets for sure. And you can stick them in a small mesh bag or hop sack, a tied-off piece of nylon pantyhose (sanitized and with your SWMBO's blessing, of course) or just go commando.

By going "commando" do you mean just tossing the pellets into the batch straight up, without a hop sack?

I'm using a 6.5 gallon glass carboy fermenter. Only about 1.125" to 1.25" diameter at the neck.
Pellets are better for dry hopping Imo for 2 reasons
1) pellets have better flavor/aroma stability during storage
2) pellets introduce a lot less oxygen than cones and so result in greater aroma stability in the final beer.
I hop in the leg and serve off the hops. No grassy flavours, just hop flavours. You need to use a keg hopper or equivalent
I was going to ask something similar. Do you dry hop in the primary, or wait until it is in the secondary?
