Supplemental Smoke

[BassCrash]

I was curious if anyone uses something like an a-maze-n smoke tube to get extra smoke in their pit?

Got one but never use it. On low slow 225 and below, I get lots of smoke.

I too pickup up one going on a few years ago now. Its NIB on my shelf in my office right next to me. If i want more smoke i put it on low for a bit. Otherwise most cooking i do the amount the grill imparts on its own is perfect for the wife so (ahem) is perfect for me too

I use cheap octagonal, not the a-maze-n smoke tube pretty much every cook lately.

You can also just put flavored wood chips, dried sticks from your yard or pellets on the heat deflector over the fire pot, I've done this and it works great as long as you use a propane or butane torch to light it up before starting the grill.

I have tried using the smoke tubes and don't think it is worth it.
Just run the pellet grill on LOW for the first hour and you get good smoke.
Don't be afraid to put meat on the grill before you turn it on too.

I use the Skoo version. I’ve smoked with it and without it at various temps, and I think the smoke flavor is better with it. I now use it every time.

Mojobricks work well in a smoker box.

Yes I do and it works great.

What are y’all using to light your smoke tubes.
I’m using a Bic Lighter

But it takes a bit of time to get it going.

MAPP torch

@Greg Jones thank you.
I was thinking that was going to be the answer.

Echo the MAPP torch. Already owned one, so now I get to use it more often.

I'm cheap and use a steel can that used to hold some vegetable. Drill some holes in it for air flow and it works great at holding chips and chunks of wood and allowing them to smolder. Total cost maybe $0.80 after tax. Light it up using a brulee torch, not as powerful as propane or MAPP but convenient and works well.

I use a propane torch - Bernzomatic - typical for plumbing work. I've also seen people use an electric heat gun, just takes a bit longer.
