Was excited to get this to add a little more smoke flavor to meats smoked on my Big Green Egg. Using a full load of hardwood charcoal and a plate lifter I lit my egg as usual then filled the Amazen tube with hickory pellets. I lit one end with a paraffin cube and when the cube had burned off and the tube was smoking well, placed into the egg next to the brisket and closed the lid. Temp on egg was steady at 230 F. Didn't notice much smoke from the vents but let it go for about 20 minutes. When I checked the pellets were out. I relit them and placed on grill again and closed the lid again. Again, not much smoke and when I checked after a few minutes the pellets were out again. My conclusion: there's not enough air in the egg to keep this thing going.

Maybe others have had better luck. Prob will try a cold smoke soon.

This thing is awesome! I use a propane torch to light the open end for about 20 seconds. I let the flame stay lit until it goes out and then blow on it to start another flame. Once that flame goes out I let it burn for about another minute and then put it into my smoker. The pellets in this tube did in fact last 4 hours which was great. The tube produces much more smoke than the A-Maze-N pellet tray, so beware of that. I have a Masterbuilt 30'' electric smoker and I think this produces too much smoke for that small of a smoker. If you were looking for an A-Maze-N product for your electric smoker, the 5x8 tray would be your best bet. I also have the "Mail Box Mod" on my smoker and they work great together. I pretty much smoke meat whenever I get the opportunity now!

I use this primarily in my Masterbuilt Electric Smoker - 40. It gives a solid 4-5 hours of smoke. Works great for cold smoking (things like cheese). I have also used it on my LP grill and it adds a wonderful touch of smoke to things I'm cooking hotter and faster as well. Follow the lighting instructions and make sure your pellets are dry (microwave them for 30 seconds before use) and you'll be thankful like I am to have this in your cooking/smoking tools.

If you bought yourself a pellet grille, this is a must have!! I got it one a week ago and been using it since, it's like day and night on the smoke flavor. Best money I spent when it comes to smoking, love it!!!!!

Wellll. I think I like it.... I bought it to go into the Char Broil oil-less turkey fryer (propane oven) Amazon had on sale. That version didn't have a smoker box on it. Instructions for this tube say to lay it on it's side once you get it started, It won't fit on it's side in that thing. I used a blow torch to get the pellets started but it was freaking windy, everything kept blowing out, including the griller if it wasn't on high flame. Didn't smoke during the cook, then 5 min before the meat was ready it smoked like crazy, the pellets must have gotten hot enough to spontaneously combust, so i ran and put something else in that cooker, but by then the pellets had gone out again.....Oh well. I bought the 6", so we'll see if that makes a difference, I will use this one again only I'll fill it full instead of being stingy with the pellets, I like the idea of microwaving the pellets to help drive off some of the moisture prior to use, good idea!. Use a pair of tongs to hold the tube, when getting it started, it gets hot. Either way I'm looking forward to trying to cold smoke cheese using this. I won't describe the contraption I had planned on building. I think this will be just fine.
