Dimensions wise, this tube is 12 inches long and 2 inches wide, which is enough to hold enough pellets for about 5 hours of consistent smoke. That’s plenty of capacity for many smoking jobs, and even for a 10 hour brisket smoke you’ll only have to refill one time to get the job done. Now you can see here a picture of a pellet tube underneath an incredibly cheap kettle grill, this was one of the first prototypes for using a pellet chewed, yes I know it looks pretty rough but it did the job very nicely. The larger your smoker tube, the more pellets it will be able to hold, and that makes for a longer smoking time. Most 6-inch models can last you for at least two to three hours of smoke time, but as you get closer to a 12-inch model, you can smoke for upwards of five hours. Even though the actual smoke time depends on other factors like the types of pellets and the conditions of your grill, it’s fair to say that larger smoker tubes are better if you want to do long bouts of smoking. If your grill is small, you may be better off with a smaller tube because it will fit easier. You can use a smoke tube whenever you want to add smoky flavor to your food.

How does a smoke tube work?Most of the instructions I’ve seen say roughly about 7 to 8 minutes of letting the open flame burn, you just learn as you use it.

Cold Smoking Hungarian and Spicy Venison Salami The flat sides on its hexagonal shape allow you to position it easily on any kind of grill, including gas, charcoal, or electric. The rounded shape also allows for better distribution of smoke so your food cooks evenly and the smoky flavor can penetrate the entire contents of your grill. It also can be used to cold-smoke food without turning the grill on.

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. This can mean anywhere from one to five hours of gradual smoldering and smoking. It also depends on how wet or dry the chips or pellets are. The damper they are, the shorter the burn time (if you can get them to burn at all). The drier the chips or pellets, the longer the burn time. Most smoke tubes come with instructions that say to light and then burn the chips or pellets for around 10 minutes before placing the tube inside your grill so they all get hot, crisp, and start producing smoke. When I have run out of gas in the torch I use, sometimes I use a gas grill burner or a camping stove (but I fully don’t recommend doing it this way, it’s a little bit dangerous, better to use the right tool for the job). After letting the flames burn for several minutes and you are sure it is burning correctly, blow the fire out.These smoke tubes contain a reagent that will react with moisture in the air to produce a white smoke cloud that floats freely as it has the same density as ambient air.
