Premium Wood Pellet Smoker Tube for All Types of Grills or Smokers- 4 Hours of Smoke - Cold or Hot Smoking- Ideal for Smoking Cheese Nuts Steaks Fish Pork or Beef - 12" Stainless Steel

This smoke tube is amazing, and yes I have used it. I say this because it bugs me whenever I read a review and its obvious that the person has not even used their newly bought product yet. People, we consumers count on these reviews to make an educated decision on what products we purchase. With that out of the way, again let me say, this smoke tube is amazing. I am an avid backyard smoker and am always trying new ways to do things or just to make them better. I wanted to cold smoke some salmon and the cold smoker attachment for my smoker was $199 so I thought I would try this. First of all it worked like a charm, I filled the tube up with pellets, lit the pellets on fire, let it burn for about 5 minutes, blew the flame out and it smoked for about 4 hours. I was able to put the smoke tube on one side of the smoker and put the salmon on the other side and I was able to cold smoke my salmon without having to buy an expensive addition to my smoker (the smoker itself was not on during this process, I only used the smoke tube). This worked so well that I decided to try it with meat to get some extra smoke while the smoke itself was on and again it works amazing. Whether you have an electric, propane, or real wood smoker this tube will add the extra smoke flavor that will put your food over the top. What makes this different from the numerous other choices out there is that it is square so it doesn't roll around on the grill, it has a large capacity so that you get a lot of hours of smoke from it, and the size of it gives you a lot of surface area so that you get a lot of smoke, lastly this is one of the best priced smoke tubes out there. I know that there are a lot of choices out there and it can be daunting trying to make a decision but I could not be more satisfied with the results of this smoke cube.

I lit the pellets and let them burn for about ten minutes like the box said. The amount of smoke was small in comparison if I put pellet in a metal tray over one burner in the BBQ. I am not saying this is a bad item, but it did not work for my application. This product would work great for cold smoking. This item did not cost a lot, so I said to myself I will buy it and see how well it works.

The same day I received the cube, I dug out some apple pellets I have had for several years stored in the bottom of a deck box full of cooking things from the days when I had a Green Egg. I used a propane torch to light the pellets and they continued to flame for 10 minutes until I blew it out. The pellets at the open end of the cube were glowing and putting out a lot of smoke. I then used a small Weber charcoal grill to cold smoke cheese. The cube continued to put out nice smoke and never went out until after three hours, I cut off the air supply on the grill and that extinguished the pellets. Ended up using about 60% of the pellets in the cube. So my best estimate is that a full load of pellets will burn for five hours if needed. The cheese turned a nice yellow-brown color on the outside of the cheese blocks. I let them cool to room temperature and packaged them tightly in sealed plastic bags per the directions I was following. After 10 days in the refrigerator I will open them up and sample the cheese. I was very impressed with the quality of the cube. Heavy duty stainless and well made with no sharp edges. Instructions on the box for using the cube were dead on. Anything that works so well right out of the box with no fiddling around is certainly worthy of a five star rating !

The SmokinCube seems to add enough extra smoke while cooking for those who like a little more smoke flavor. I purchased it to use with my pellet grill when I found the efficiency of the pellet style cooker made the smoke flavor much lighter than I was used to. The cube provides just enough extra to enhance the BBQ experience. I found that fully loaded, the Cube will provide about 4-5 hours of additional smoke. I have not tried it while cold smoking but I bet it would work well for cheese or similar items. I would recommend it.

I bought this to use in an electric smoker. I have a Masterbuilt smoker that I love to cook with. My only complaint was the chip tray. It didn't provide the consistent smoke I was looking for....then along came the SmokinCube. It arrived on time and I was surprised by the build quality. And yes, it's as simple as it looks. My first use could not have gone better. I loaded it with pellets then hit it with a torch for 20-30 seconds and it was smoldering. After burning for a few minutes I layed it down in the smoker. I was worried the pellets would roll out and I would lose my fire....they didn't. It put out smoke for the next 4 hours. In fact, I was getting worried it might be too heavy. Again, I was wrong, the flavor came out perfect. I did not get a smoke ring on my brisket, but that's ok, I had the flavor. All in all I was very impressed. Dead simple to use and efficient. A 20 lb bag of pellets is going to smoke alot of meat. I would recommend it and buy it again.

So I’ve tried this on three items, hoping to achieve smoky goodness on the cheap, but there is just no substitute for a good smoker, I’ve learned. The first attempt I had about 3 hours to experiment and I wanted to see if I could at least get a hint of smoky flavor, knowing it wasn’t enough time. I ended up just getting grilled pork chops which were tasty but not very smoky. Still fine, but the smoke didn’t really start rolling until an hour into it. Second time I allowed 5 hours for some chicken and pork ribs. I put one burner on low on the far side of my Weber Spirit, and lit the smoker underneath the top shelf so it would smoke the ribs. Maintained 150-200 degrees F for the whole smoke, ended up with very dry meat. Also, smoke never produced a lot in volume, and this time I used the recommended smoker pellets. Last time I tried pork ribs again, and I draped bacon over the top of them to keep them moist, and I put a stainless pan full of beer in the grill to add humidity, sitting under the ribs with the smoker. I put a burner on low, maintained about 200 F for 4.5 hrs. I even basted the meat with the beer and grease runoff a few times. Meat was still very dry. For a good smoke, it seems to me like you need humidity, smoke, and temp. This thing makes smoke but only for a limited time, and at least for my grill I don’t think you can maintain the necessary humidity. I’m shopping for a smoker.

I don't know if there's more than one "SmokinCube" being sold. The one I received is clearly marked "Made in China", not of USA origin as the description states. In addition, and even more disappointing (as many others have already said it is chinese) is that the item is the same 2"x2"x12" tube sold by many resellers at a lower price, and not 2.4"x2.4"x12" as listed in the item description. I was hoping to get a slightly larger one to generate a little more smoke for a couple extra dollars. Nope.

So far,it looks like me and 1 other person are the only ones to actually buy this.I like that there is a bottom on this one.The round tube one I was looking at had no bottom.I read reviews where people would stuff tinfoil in the bottom so the pellets wouldn't fall out when it was lit standing up.I have used this to smoke cheese and various meats.It does a great job.I use this in a pellet smoker.I have a quality pellet smoker.A Louisiana Grills CS450.It just doesn't give the intense smoke flavor that I like.With this cube,I fill it,light it,stick it in the grill and let it go until it's out(without firing up the grill).With meats,I then fully cook them with the pellet grill.I like the controllable heat.I've cold smoked some mozzarella sticks,mozzarella block and Swiss cheese block.I let the cheese cure for a week.It is awesome.You can easily produce excellent smoked foods with any type of grill and this smoker cube.You could even just build a box out of wood and use the smoker cube in it.Then just finish cooking whatever you smoked in the oven.I've had this for 10 days and have used it 8 out of the 10 days.There are no issues with it and looks like it should last a long time.Most pellets last about 3.5 to 4 hours per cube full.I've used Pacific Pellet Championship Blend,from Sportsman's Warehouse,the last 2 days.Not a bad pellet for the price.I get almost 6 hours per cube full with those pellets.You will build up quite a bit of creosote inside your grill when using this cube.I've cranked up the grill a couple of times(with no food in it) to burn off some of the creosote.This is a great product for anyone who wants to get into smoking foods at a reasonable price.
