I have used sawdust with pretty good results, however the sawdust I used
came from the aftermath after using a chainsaw and wasn't technically dust,
but more like small shavings.

I wrapped around 3 handfuls per batch in foil, pricked a few times, and
added them to the fire when needed. They burned for 15 minutes or so then I
had to add another, and another, and another.

If the sawdust you have is dust/fine shavings, wetting and wrapping it in a
ball sounds feasible and it may do the trick.
