If you’re ready to take your outdoor cooking game up a notch without investing in an expensive, bulky smoker, smoke tubes are a humble, easy gadget that will help replicate that quintessential smoky flavor. The point of the tube is to keep the pellets close together while at the same time restricting excessive airflow to prevent it from burning too hot. Kingsford is a trusted name in the BBQ world and manufactures one of the best smoke tubes that we’ve used.

I've seen several comments online that people have sampled their smoked cheese and it tasted like campfire sitting on cheese, or cheese with a cigarette butt.

Once you ignite it with a proper lighter torch and allow the flames to remain for 6-10 minutes, it will not die.Most modern smoke tubes including all those on our last are made with stainless steel of varying grades and quality.

The amount of burn time that a smoke tube can provide depends on the volume of the tube as well as how many pellets you load into the tube. Once the pellets catch fire and begin to smolder, place the tube over the grill grates carefully, and it will start producing smoke which will be infused into your meat.

When it comes to the top pellet tube smoker choice, it’s hard to argue with the 12 inch Pellet Smoker Tube by Lanney. That said, a circular cross-section is helpful because it better regulates how fast the pellets burn by using less surface area. The tube smoker expands from 7 to 12 inches and produces smoke for up to two hours when you put it in the 7-inch position and 4 hours when it’s in the 12-inch position. Lastly, make small holes using a needle or knife, place the pouch filled with pellets over the grill grates, and begin smoking. While pellet grills already provide some smoke, using a smoke tube allows you to add further smoky taste and flavors.
