I already have a smoker that I love but honestly don’t use it more than 6 or 8 times a year. I decided to give this a try since I have several large bags of chips in the garage going unused for the most part.

Amazon delivered it Tuesday and after work, I made simple cheeseburgers on the charcoal Weber (Another of your recommendations) using cherry woodchips. The amount of smoke that came from a half-filled tube was incredible. I made a dozen burgers for four of us so I’d have leftovers for lunch. There were no leftovers and everyone was raving over the taste.

They weren’t as good as brisket in the smoker but they were some of the best burgers I’ve made. It’s amazing how such a small item improves the taste that much.

You’re right about the quality. I didn’t have room on the grill rack so I laid it right over the hot coals under the meat. I had zero warping and little discoloring. This thing is built rock solid.

Quick question on the end-caps. Are they stainless steel as well or aluminum?

I have and have used the original (round not hexagonal) Amazen tube smokers for years to add extra smoke to my pellet grill. Amazen tubes are stainless as well, but the end-caps are aluminum, so I’ve been hesitant to use them on a gas BBQ.

Well shit, just looked up the melting points of aluminum, 1220degF. Only my IR burner gets that hot. Will definitely give my smaller tube a shot on the BBW the next time I grill. 🙂

Clicked on the link and its a big box with circular holes now, with an hinged lid, can’t find the tube!

Darn, I bought an alternate company’s product, but not sure if will be of tested quality. I’ll let you know after I use it for a bit.
