product description

These are light weight, durable and portable smoke generators that produce great quality smoke for cold and hot smoking. They are versatile enough to be used in just about any smoker or a grill. They are designed to burn pellets and supplement smoke at higher temps, in Pellet Grills/Smokers. This is where most pellet grills/smokers do not produce much smoke. The AMNTS adds additional smoke at cooking temps, regardless if your pellet grill/smoker is burning pellets or not. The Tube Smokers perform very well in pellet grills, gas grills and gas smokers. Their unique design takes up very little space on your grates.

Questions about A-MAZE-N AMNTS12-APP Oval Pellet Tube Smoker Prefilled with 100% Wood Apple BBQ Pellets, 12 Inch

how does it burn the pellets

Answer: The smoker is lit at the end with a torch and with continue to burn for up to four hours with heat from coals or burners.

Answer: You fill up the tube with pellets and light one end of the tube. The pellets will burn thus producing smoke. I suggest using a propane or butane torch to light the pellets.

Answer: Just to underscore a very important aspect of the answers above... save yourself frustration and use a PROPANE TORCH. I tried using a long stemmed butane lighter but even when I spent several minutes holding the flame to the pellets and letting it burn for 10 minutes, it snuffed out once inside the smoker. With a torch it takes 30 seconds of that blast furnace heat and it's going strong.

Answer: You torch the pellets at the end of the tube. I use an Iwatani butane torch. Works great! http://www.amazon.com/Iwatani-Torch-Burner-Professional-Cb-tc-pro/dp/B00BBJC1CY

Answer: You put a torch to it. Get a nice bed of coals started at one end. Then blow out any flame and set it in the smoker. Make sure that's good air flow. (I just removed my chip tray and leave the vent wide open.) It will smoke for 6-7 hours nonstop. Like, so smoky you can't see in there any longer!! I love this thing and I never, ever use my chip tray any more.

can I use wood chips instead of pellets?

Answer: I have only used pellets. I do not know how wood chips would burn in the tube

Answer: I’ve never tried wood chips, but my guess is that they would burn faster and make less smoke. It wouldn’t hurt anything to try it, but might not do much to enhance smoke flavor.

Answer: I doubt you could pack them in tight enough to work correctly. Pellets work awesome and you have a choice of “flavors”, so there is no real advantage to trying chips.

Answer: Yes, I have used wood chips. Make sure you use small chips and shake them down as packed as you can so there are no air gaps between chips. Make double sure they are ignited very well before you blow out the flame. Extra monitoring that they are still smoldering doesn't hurt in case you need a re-light!

Answer: Yes you can, it works great.

Doesnt the Traeger provide smoke from the pellets? Not sure why this is needed?

Answer: Well, I don't have a Traeger, I have a Masterbuilt electric smoker. Yes, it does have a chip tray, but it's really small and the chips only smoke for about 20 minutes, then it's time for a refill (compartment is tiny). After two fills the ashes need dumped. Basically you have to babysit the smoker. But if you use the pellet tube, you can set it on a lower rack, remove the chip tray entirely (it helps air circulation), then sit back and do something else while you get 6-7 hours of continuous, perfect smoke.

Answer: In most pellet smokers (including a Traeger) the pellets in the burn pot will smoke great a lower temperatures. But when you crank the temperature up, there is significantly less smoke produced as the combustion is much more efficient. Consequently, many people augment the smoke with something like this.

Answer: I have a Treager pellet smoker/grill. Pellet smoker or any other type of smoker uses heat to burn the pellets or smoking chips. With my Treager on the smoke setting, the internal temp gets to 200° F. That is to hot to cold smoke (cheese, salmon, jerky, etc). So I use it for cold smoking and for additional smoked flavor.

Answer: yes it does but not nearly as much as I would like... as with a charcoal smoker with wood chips added. I have used the a maze n tube two times now and really like the added smoke....Attracts the neighbors attention much more too..lol not sure that is a plus or a minus!

Answer: I use this when cooking on my gas grill to provide a slight smoke flavor.

Spike : Get Smoking, Taste The Flavor Today!

I absolutely love the A-MAZE-N AMNTS12-inch Pellet Tube Smoker. I’ve been using it for more than 4 years now. Gives amazing smoke flavors to whatever I’m cooking. I’ve cooked turkey, chicken, brisket, pork butt/shoulder, steaks, burgers & a lot of other meats as well as numerous vegetables & some fruits, using this smoking tube. I’ve used many different pellets, mesquite, cherry, apple, hickory & others.
The smoker is made well, strong & rust resistant. It’s very easy to clean, if you’re so inclined.
Lighting is relatively easy. I use a small butane torch to get the pellets going, allow it to burn “like a candle” for 10-12 minutes, blow out the flame, then lay it on its side in the grill. From all of my experiences, it smokes for 2-2.5 hours. If I need it to smoke longer, I add additional pellets using heat resistant grill gloves, CAREFULLY as to not get burned.
This is a great way to add smoke/smoking to your grilling/cooking w/out having to buy another unit.
I recommend you order one of these & some pellets, get smoking.

R. R. Parke : I recommend this product for cold smoking

Worked as advertised. Light the pellets with a torch, let them burn for 10 minutes and blow them out. This tube smoker with apple pellets burned for three hours before I put them out with about 1/4 of the pellets left. Used in a Weber kettle grill. Outside temp was about 38 degrees F. Well built product. I recommend this product for cold smoking.

Jim Tice : Five Stars

This is really a great tool for smoking cheese and meats. Highly recommend it.

great for small grills and is easy to use

Leonore Proctor : The best tasting *&%$ Tri-tip I ever ate

Added this to our smoker and it produced the most flavorful smoky-tasting tri-tip. Hubby is not enchanted with the difficulty of lighting it, but the end result is worth hearing him complain!

LostOutside : Everybody enjoyed the smoke flavored cheese

Used this with several flavors of wood pellets to smoke several varieties of cheese. Shared my "experiment" with friends at work. Everybody enjoyed the smoke flavored cheese. This little dude is amazing. Simple to use. Imparts a wonderful smoke flavor to food.

Jeff S. : great product

This product works great. We use it in a pellet smoker to greatly increase the amount of smoke we cook with. This would work great in any outdoor grill on lower heat settings.

Can’t wait to use this . It came filled with pellets.

Gary Cotes : 6 Stars but.... only 5 here!

I use this in my electric smoker, I don't use the smoker's chip feeder. Easily get 8 hours of thin blue smoke! Fantastic device! Make sure you get good dry pellets and if need be, microwave them for 60 seconds prior to loading the tube and lighting. I'd give it 6 stars if I could.

Robert B. : Don't wait, buy it NOW!!!

This thing is awesome. Smoked 10 pounds of cheese and it performed flawlessly. Smoked for over 5 hours. Definitely worth it.

B.Stewart : Very nice

Used the tubes to supplement my pellet grill and it performed excellent. This was the second one I purchased as I also have the larger 16' tube.

Works great. Really adds that smoked flavor to what ever I'm grilling. I've been thinking about investing in a pellet smoker grill, and thought this would be a good place to start before making a large investment.

Cole Gibson : Perfect, great little tool for smoking long hours!

Does exactly what it’s intended to do!

Thomas W. Morgan : Traeger grill

I use the A MAZE N smoker with my traeger grill. The extra smoke makes the food taste wonderful.

WesternMDWomen : Pellet smoker

Just as hoped for

robert traister : Extra smoke.

Easy to use and last up to 5 hrs. Need extra smoke this is the ticket.
