Questions about Pellet Smoker Tube,12"Stainless Steel BBQ Wood Pellet Tube Smoker for Cold/Hot Smoking,5 Hours of Billowing Smoke-for Any Grill or Smoker.Hexagon , Accessories -2 S Shape Hooks,1 Cleaning Brush. (Tube +Hooks +Cleaning brush+Cooking twine)

Does this tube keep pellets burning if used vertically with a hook?

Answer: Hi Jim

Does this have caps on both ends to hold in the pellets? The pictures show one opened end ??

Answer: One side is closed. You fill the tube from the open end, light the pellets with the tube standing upright and allow to burn like a candle for about 10 minutes. Blow the flame out, then I prop my open end slightly up with a piece of aluminum. You can still lay the tube completely flat and you will only lose a couple pellets.

Answer: One end is capped and one is open to add the pellets. I lay my tube on its side so I can’t completely fill it up because some will fall out.

Answer: It has one closed end and one opened end to load the pellets.

Answer: It is open on 1 end, once lit and laying on its side it does not loose pellets.

Answer: No, one end is open, but it has a slight lip so my pellets did not fall out at all.

Answer: one end is open to fill tube.

Answer: Just on one end. They work awesome. Buy one you will not be sorry

Answer: Capped only at one end as shown

Dose it produce heat or just smoke?

Answer: A little heat and smoke.It gets hot enough to burn but not cook.Its primary purpose is to provide flavor thru smoke.But if cold smoking put as far away from food as possible

Answer: Yes it Generates Heat, but it's minor... You could probably Cold Smoke with it, if it was off to the side.

How do I get the ebooks?

Answer: Through the Amazon mailbox, I have received emails from their company, which is about ebook.

Answer: Hi deborah contreras

Answer: On Amazon Mail after ordder has been shipped

How would you use for cold smoke. Would the tube still be inside the smoker? If so, that would not be truly cold smoke, right ?

Answer:

Answer: The tube would be inside the cold smoker. Depending on the size of the cold smoker, and/or whether the cold smoker had multiple chambers, it may or may not still be cold smoke. For example, the tube does not add significant temperature to my very large smoker or if I used a second chamber for the tube and routed the smoke to a chamber in my small smoker with the meat/cheese...

Answer: Cold smoke means smolder, and not flaming up. It will be burning, red, but no flame. Cold smoke means say less than 300 degrees F.

Can this tube be damaged from too high a heat on your grill?

Answer: Well, how high is high? When you smoke your temperature should be under 250 degrees so no it wont get damaged, its pretty thick metal and I’m satisfied with it so far.

Answer: It is a light weight metal ( thin), I didn't use over heat, use to infuse smoke flavor into cheese so it wasn't exposed to direct heat only the heat from the flavor pellets. Sorry I couldn't be of more help....

What is best way to light pellets? Thanks for prompt reply!

Answer:

Can you use this on a gass grill? If so, do you still have to light the chips first?

Answer: I don't have a gas grill, but after many smoking sessions with this and other tools, I'd say it would probably work but do NOT put it over a lit burner. Set it off to the side away from the flames, or on a solid plate above them to shield it and light it per instructions to generate smoke for the cooking chamber - I would get this lit and stabilized before firing up the gas. Depending on the draft inside, you may have to try different locations to keep airflow moving over this smoker tube.

Answer: Hi jillibilli

Answer: Yes you can but you still have to light it first. Make sure it's smoking really well before putting it on your grill.

Answer: Yes and yes. Youtube has some great videos on this

Can you use a heat gun to ignite the pellets in this device?

Answer: Yes,you can.But it takes about 1 minutes to ignite the pellets in this device.But for the propane torch only takes about 30s to lit it up.

Answer: That would be ideal. I usually start my charcoal then set the closed end on the coals to get it smoking.

How much in pellets does this smoker use. How long would a 20lbs bag last? How many uses for that size bag?

Answer: Used a 16oz drinking glass to fill the tube it was just over 2 drinking glass fulls as far as weight I can’t help also depends on the brand of pellets/density but each tube will smoke for 4-5 hours depending on pellets used. I use pit boss hickory pellets and I got about 5 hours off one tube plenty of smoke for one cook. Pellets are cheap don’t worry about how much is used worry about quality of what you cook and enjoy.

Answer: That depends on how long you smoke. Here’s what I think, if you totally depend on the smoker for all your grilling, you may find that it lasts about as long as a big bag of charcoal, but if you smoke for several hours at a time it won’t last as long.

Answer: 20lb would last you for a bit! If you fill it up to Smoke it goes About 5 hrs! I used it along with my smoker if I want more smoke! You have to use good Pellets

Answer: Holds less than a half pound of pellets. If used correctly and once pellets ignite it puts out a lot of smoke fir good smoke flavoring. Light it at least 30 minutes before putting your meat in the grill.

Answer: The tube may hold about a 3/4 to a pound of pellets.

Answer: It holds about 3 cups and those can burn upto 5 hours so it should last for awhile

What is warranty

Answer: I don’t know the warranty but I don’t believe I will have her have to use it. it holds up to heat very very well and puts out if packed right 4 1/2 hours of continuous smoke. So far high heat has not diminished its quality. I believe I will on this product for many years to come.

Answer: Not sure about warranty but I have used my smoke tube probably 20 times so far with no warping or issues.

Answer: Don't need one. It's like $12 and a very good investment. Use mine about 3 times a week for a month and still like new. I mean the coloration is different but it's a smoker....

Answer: It’s stainless steel , if used properly, don’t know how it would go bad .

Is this reusable or is it a one time use product? Does the metal tarnish from heat?

Answer: It can be reusable

Answer: Can be reused, I did not find fading

Would this have any impact on fast cooks(i.e. hamburgers/hot dogs)?And can you just fill it up halfway if your grilling a few burgers?

Answer: Yes and Yes .Even a few minutes of smoke will impart flavor.I use smoke on hamburgers often.apply the smoke at the very start of the cook and try to terminate the smoke generation about halfway through or less.You don’t really want smoke applied at the cook or it can make a bad flavor.You can fill the tube halfway but it’s best to fill the open space at the far end with some aluminum foil first,so the pellets stay packed for proper burning and also be easier to light.

Answer: I would fill completely to get the full flavor of the smoke but I dont see why not if want a lighter flavor

What are the hooks for? Can the smoker tube be hung vertically? If so, is it best to light the pellets from the top, or at the bottom?

Answer: The hooks, I believe are for removing the pellet tube whilst it is still Hot if you need to refill it.

Answer: The hooks are for hanging, if your going to hang it vertically you need to have the opening at the top. I always light min horizontally for about 5 minutes before hanging

Answer: 1. Hanging unit. 2. Yes. One end is closed. 3. I’ve never used it vertically, but probably the bottom. Refer to instructions that come with the unit.

Answer: I've tried it both ways, hanging from hooks and laying flat with essentially the same results, ie great smoke flavor but no smoke ring. Laynig flat seems to last a little longer but who wants to hurry showin off?

How to used?

Answer: Fill the tube with pellets,light it with a torch lighter,let it burn with flame for 10 minutes, blow it out (it will still smolder),lay it down on the grate or under.It will smolder for about 5 hours when filled full

Answer: Fill with dry wood chips or pellets and hang from grill grate. Light one end and smoke the meat for the time required.

Answer: Fill with pellets, start pellets closet to opening on fire for a few minutes, blow out flames allowing pellets to smolder, and place in smoker.

So I bought this and I am not sure what I did wrong but all of the pellets set on fire in the tube and they all burned up quickly...

Answer: Light just a pellets on the open side of the tube.once they get going good blow them out so they just smolder.You don’t want the Open Flame to travel down the tube too fast.

Can you adjust the smoking time (like one hour max for steak/fish/chicken on grill),somehow?

Answer: I use a egg grill and the pellets go out when I close the grill vents to kill the charcoal.If you cannot do that,then the only way to control the smoked duration is to fill the tube fewer pellets.I do not know much or little to use,you will have to experiment.I would start with about 2 inches and adjust up or down the next time based on experience.

It can smolder for 5 hours ?

Answer: First，to be sure that the pellets is dry,If the pellets get wet,it may probably die away soon in the smoker tube.You can use oven to dry it first.

Answer: It smokes great for 4 solid hours.

Can you use wood chips instead of pellets?

Answer: That is my plan, although I haven't had the opportunity to use it yet ~~~

Answer: It works well both with pellets and wood chips.Pellets provide a longer burn,but wood chips provide more intense smoke.You can mix these or stack them in the tube to get the type of smoke profile you want.

Answer: You would have to have a constant fire or flame on it to keep it lit. The pellets burn once ignited. My husband has used this in our grill as well as our propane smoker in addition to the chips in the smoker.

Answer: I have not tried wood chips.

Answer: Not sure, we have only used pellets.

Answer: I don't see why not...I haven't tried...

Is there a maximum temperature you can grill with this?

Answer: Hi dear customer

One end of the tube is open, is this correct? how do you keep the pellets from falling out? Help please.

Answer: Hello

Answer: Yes, one end is open, the other end is closed. Filling the tube with pellets and lightly packing them in seems to keep them in place. Place the tube in the smoker and use a torch to light it.

Answer: The end is a cap and comes off. Just fill the screen tube, replace the press fit end cap and you are good to go. Your torch will shoot through the side screening and ignite the wood pellets.

How many times would 20 lbs of chips fill this tube? How many uses does 20lbs give you?

Answer: i would say this holds around three pounds of pellets. i only fill mine up a little under half full, this usually lasts about two hours smoke time. 3lbs each full up would give you six full refills.

Answer: A lot, doesn't take many, we loved ours so much, that we purchased a second one for our smoker at our summer home.

Can you use wood chips instead of pellets?

Answer: That is my plan, although I haven't had the opportunity to use it yet ~~~

Answer: I have not tried wood chips.

Answer: Not sure, we have only used pellets.

Answer: I don't see why not...I haven't tried...

how do you light the pellets ?

Answer:

Answer: Light pellets with a hand held propane torch.

Answer: Plenty of videos on YouTube on how to use,Please view this instruction video --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XWSBEBzoEs

How long does the tube last when filled with pellets?

Answer: Dear Suzeiki

Can this be used directly on charcoals when filled with pellets? Lumps I can toss on directly but pellets will fall thru the grill grates....

Answer: No you do not want to use this directly on lump charcoal when filled with smoker pellets. Smoker pellets will smolder on their own. Adding this tube filled with pellets directly on charcoal will produce high temps and flames. Best to fill with pellets light them once flaming blow flame out and leave on top of grill grate with charcoal below grill grate. Use in conjunction with charcoal yes. Directly on top of charcoal NO!

Answer: fill the tube with pellets and light, once the pellets are burning, blow out and it will smoke. Place on top of grate where the food goes and let the smoke circulate around the food for an hour or if you want to start the charcoal you can let it smoke while he food is cooking. Only works in an enclosed area. Good for cold smoking food.

Answer: I wouldn't recommend it because the briquettes might ruin whatever material the cylinder is made of.

Answer: I use both pellets and soaked hardwoods, The flavor is remarkable but for the "purist" out there, theres not any smoke ring to speak of.

Can I use the wet, small wood chips ?

Answer: No, you can't use wet wood chips!!! You light the dry pellets and and the smolder which gives you that extra smoke flavor.

Answer: I use only dry wood pellets, sometimes mixed with dry wood chips.

Answer: Not sure how well that would work packing them into tube and lighting them up. Pellets pack in fine. I use a propane burner stand set up to get enough heat to fire up the pellets in the tube. Using the tube really adds a lot of smoke and flavor I believe.

Answer: If you can get them lit so they cam smolder then yes. The pellets are easy and cheap for a smaller bag and a full tube will go for hours.

Answer: as long as they are not dripping water. but it burns slow.

Answer: Yes I have

Amazon Customer : Use small wood chips or pellets

Turn your gas grill into a smoker! Burn time will vary with the product you're using but on average I get 5 hours. I'm going to get another one because I like to cold smoke for long periods. I like that they included a brush which is very handy.

n/a : Easy to use

Simple and easy to use on grill. I used to smoke cheese, ribs and burgers. Not sure how to use the "S" clips but not sure I need them.

tomcio : inexpensive, works fine

Works just fine. Cold smoked salmon is spectacular. I haven't tried to clean the tube, yet. Used 6 times so far.

cris orezechowski : Great smoke flavor

Works as expected I get about a 4 hour smoke from the tube. So much better than buying a fullsize smoker grill that would have a significant amount of cleanup with each use.

F. Boyles : Saved me $400+! Now I don’t need to buy a pellet grill. Thx!!

I love my gas grill but missing the flavor and smell of a pellet grill. I was about to buy a pit boss but thought I would try this first. I’m so gladly I did!! I love this smoker tube so much that I bought one for my Dad too.

Safetyman1134 : Four Stars for Now.

I am only giving this product four stars for now, based on my assessment of the product quality from visually inspecting it. I have not had an opportunity to use it yet, but it does appear to made of good quality material. The product did arrive in two days (Prime), and was packaged adequately. I plan to use it in the next couple of weeks to cold smoke some cheeses, as gifts for Christmas. I will update my review after using it a few times.

Surfpotts : great smoke

This tube works as advertised. Slow burn lots of smoke.

s a : Working good!

My boyfriend has used it several times and has not had any problems with it. We have had it about a month or two. It is pretty standard as far as smoke sticks go. It puts out a lot of smoke when filled fully with pellets. I do not know if he has ever cleaned it or not so I am rating it a 5 for ease of cleaning just because I don't want to give it a lesser rating for no good reason. The stick in and of itself doesn't effect flavor other than the fact that it adds more smoke to your smoker and I don't personally notice a difference but my boyfriend might disagree. I gave it a 5 for flavor for the same reason as cleaning. I think if you want to affect your flavor you would change what pellets you were smoking with.

Goobie : Totally works great for smoking Cheese!

Great for cold smoking Cheese

Ralph : Stuff it, burn it, tip ash out

Pellets easily go in; set one end on fire, place under grill grates (or to side), close the lid and delicious smoke adds another layer of flavor to your grilled foods!

Zivile Crawford : Great product

Works great
Just keep in mind you need to use anreal torch to start. Blow for about a minute and let it burn falme for 7-9 min. Don't cut those steps, otherwise it won't burn.

Bobrun : Works like a charm!

Excellent smoke tube! I use it for cold smoking cheese and almonds. A big plus is its hexagon shape so it roll around.

Peter Smith : Wonderful Smoke Flavor

Works really well. I just put a little lighter fluid on the pellets to get it started and then hours of smoke. Sometimes I have to put it out.

Rebecca P. : Works just as good as the name brand

Works just as good as the name brand, plus includes a cleaning brush and hangers. Octagon shape versus oval shape and holes versus slots makes no difference.

anthony : showin off on the grill

Easy to use! While it infuses some serious smoke flavor, I didn't see much of a smoke ring. First time i used it, I cold smoked boneless country ribs for about 3 1/2 hours. The Flavor was great but no smoke ring. I then smoked a tri-tip for about 5 1/2 hours. I was afraid the smoke flavor might overpower the meat flavor but it was delicious. Again, lots of smoke flavor but no ring ?? There was leftovers and when I took the foil off the smoke aroma was wonderful. I love the product, i recommend the product and will probably but at least 1 more for the RV. Next up: BRISKET!!

F. Boyles : Saved me $400+! Now I don’t need to buy a pellet grill. Thx!!

karl f. : Works GREAT!

You HAVE to use a torch for this to work properly. I use my torch for exactly 45 seconds on the top part of the cylinder where the pellets are located and it smokes for hours! Great product that works every time!

Soranya : Pellets

I used it to cold smoke deviled eggs for Thanksgiving. I use pellets and it seemed to work great and the flavor was good. I bought the cheaper bag of pellets vs Trager brand, which is $8 more.
Next I will use wood chips and try to remember to add to my review.

G. C. : Great product for cold smoking/drying meat

Great product. I bought it to dry meat like jerky and it does not disappoint. It will smoke for 3-5 hours depending on the pellets. It’s been fun experimenting with different pellets to make different flavor jerky. I recommend this to my friends to cold smoke red meat. Ive also had good results cold smoking fresh venison sausage to hang to dry. Next on the agenda is smoking salmon.

Dean G. : Doesn’t roll around

Boughtt this tube smoker because it has flat edges and won’t roll around on the grill grates. It’s a tube smoker - no moving parts! Has hooks and a cleaning brush too. Good value for the price point.

Goobie : Totally works great for smoking Cheese!

Great for cold smoking Cheese

Nixon Herbert : AMAZING PRODUCT

I fill it with pellets and let it overhang about 5 inches off the prep shelf on the side of my grill. Hit it with the propane torch for 15 seconds or so until a flame appears. Let the flame burn out or blow out after a couple of minutes. Then put the tube in the grill. The end on the self doesnt get hot so it is easy to pick up.
I made a full rack of dam tasty ribs... this product is made extremely well. Works fantastic, and what I really liked was.
I have recommended to friends and would buy again.

Kristi Lay : Great way to get a smoke ring

Worked great. Added a little pellet of choice and used propane torch to ignite. Made a lot of smoke and helped my pellet grill make some great smoke and bark on a brisket.

Metal seems to hold up well and just ash left after burn. Most smoke is absorbed in the first 3-4 hours until bark forms.

Great stuff

Jim : Works well to burn pellets, good value and well-made, but practice is needed to keep it lit

I purchased this after using an open-top maze design for my vertical smoker; this fits better into my kamado-style grill/cooker. It works the same way; meaning you have to remember to microwave the pellets first to dry them out as much as possible (so they don't stop burning) and make sure you start it with a hot torch and let the flame burn for about 10 minutes to give the pellets a good start.

It's very solid and well-made, especially for the price, and the included S-hooks for hanging it and the brush for cleaning out ash will be handy as well. Definitely a good value for the money.

It's a little more awkward to use than the open-top design, since it's more difficult to empty unused pellets out for reuse later (it's a closed tube), but it'll be a handy alternative since it fits in tighter spaces. Next time I'll try hanging it vertically under the grill grate; if that works it'll be ideal.

So far, so good, and the price is great.

. : BEST BUY EVER

I'm not sure how I lived without this before... it has completely changed the way I use my barbecue. Everything I cook -- meats, veggies, seafood -- tastes and looks so much better now. I'm going to experiment with cold-smoking as well... I just started making cheeses and would love to give them a smoky flavor as well.

The tube is holding up well... stainless steel is the only way to go. I haven't needed the brush yet, so I'm not sure it is even necessary but good to have just-in-case. I'd give this smoker a 20-rating if I could. Worth every penny.

Donald Collins : Really pleased with my pellet tube

Got this item reciently (Monday july 13th) was finally able to use it this past Sunday ( July 19th ) to smoke a beef tri tip. Inly neefed about 2hrs of smoke so i filled thevm tube up about 1/2 way (6") it lit without any problem and i had smoke for 2 1/2hrs and when i pulled thectube at the end there was about a tablespoon of pellets left. VERY SATISFIED wuth this purchese i recomend it.

Mark - Boerne TX : Great Item

I bought this to use in my pellet smoker since I didn't feel that it smokes the meat enough. After the first use, I was amazed what a difference it makes. I filled it with mesquite chips and followed the lighting instructions and was amazed how much smoke it put out for at least 6 hours. Really made a difference

curt f : Plenty of smoke

Worked as advertised and seems to be sturdy. Had to make sure it was well lit but then results were good. Putting crumpled aluminum foil under top, unlit end also seemed to help, so fire burnt “uphill” a bit.

TN : What I was looking for

Product was as described and worked fairly well. The only issue was accessing the pellets as the chamber is small but you just have to buy a torch and be patient for about ten minutes with trying to light and retuning after it’s first lit to light it a few times. Great product though. Did the job for me and would recommend it.
Only used once so far for smoking cheese. Flavor was excellent. Comes with a brush for easy cleaning.

cris orezechowski : Great smoke flavor

Works as expected I get about a 4 hour smoke from the tube. So much better than buying a fullsize smoker grill that would have a significant amount of cleanup with each use.

Lucifer Hawk : nice purchase!!

i'm not sure how long these have been on the market but they are soooo much better than using a smoke box. you just fill with smoke pellets and light. I happen to have a torch that i use for sous vide cooking, so it came in very handy to light. i assume you can use a regular lighter also. i dont know how many hours the thing will keep burning, but it seems like forever 12 hours maybe? no issues with it at all and i use it on my gas bbq. now i get the best of both worlds. flavor of my food is amazing thanks to this thing.

Tim : Well built works well

Built well, tons of smoke using pit boss hickory pellets. Perfect for adding smoke to a cook or doing a cold smoke for cheese and pork belly for bacon.

Keith D Hyde : Great for cold smoking!

Easy to use, Long burn. Cold smoked 4 varieties of cheese and eggs.

tomcio : inexpensive, works fine

Works just fine. Cold smoked salmon is spectacular. I haven't tried to clean the tube, yet. Used 6 times so far.

dan : Good heavy quality stainless steel construction

Easy to use. If you want moresmoke but a shorter smoke time just start in the middle instead of starting at the end. I found using wheat gun to start works very well.

3G : Flavor enhancer!

Easy to use, cleans up easily. Provides ample amounts of smoke! Last several hours.

Dena Spray : It’s a tube that holds burning wood

What can I say, it’s a metal tube that holds Burning wood. Ease-of-use is great, clean up not so easy, the taste is horrible, I tried chewing on the metal but it was tough had a burnt flavor just couldn’t get around that that’s why I only got one star on flavor.

Peter Smith : Wonderful Smoke Flavor

Works really well. I just put a little lighter fluid on the pellets to get it started and then hours of smoke. Sometimes I have to put it out.

DDuncan3 : Sturdy wood burner

Little smaller than it looks on website. Wood chips light easy but burn quicker. Wood pellets take forever to light, but burn longer. Needs to mix wood chips with pellets to sustain for longer cooking (>30 mins). Pretty sturdy. I lit the wood chips with a torch and it didn't warp or discolor. I probably won't need another one for a long while but I would purchase this product again.

Zivile Crawford : Great product

Works great
Just keep in mind you need to use anreal torch to start. Blow for about a minute and let it burn falme for 7-9 min. Don't cut those steps, otherwise it won't burn.

Kindle Customer : Great Option For More Smoke

Got this tube and a torch and it works great!

anthony : showin off on the grill

tomcio : inexpensive, works fine

Works just fine. Cold smoked salmon is spectacular. I haven't tried to clean the tube, yet. Used 6 times so far.

bcron : Works

Works great. Adds tons of smoke to my pellet grill and when we travel and stay in condo that has gas grill gives great smoke flavor.
I also use it on my gas grill at home when I use the rotisserie.
A little hard to light unless you have a propane torch. A full load smokes for about 4 to 5 hours.

DDuncan3 : Sturdy wood burner

anthony : showin off on the grill

Fossilnerd : Exactly what I needed for smoke!

The tube did exactly what I wanted. I needed more smoke well cooking on my Traeger grill. It’s been perfect. Up to five hours of smoke. Would highly recommend!

ZosoSlambro : Totally Worth the Cost

This smoke-tube is Awesome!
After initial lighting of your choice of flavored pellets, it created So Much Smoke it looked great spewing out of my Traeger.
Definitely enhanced the flavor of the salmon I was smoking and gave it a wonderful look.
