KITCHEN PERFECTION Smoker Box For Gas Grill - Bbq Wood Chip Smoker Box Pre-Filled with Cherry Wood Chips -Adds Delicious Smokey Flavor on Propane Grill & Pellet Grill, Grill Masters Smoker Fire Box

Pretty simple device. It's a metal box, filled with Apple Wood, and you can easily replace, or change the wood type. Apple is just what it came with. You simply place this box on your grill directly over a flame. They recommend slow cooking at a low temperature. We found that at a low temperature, there is very little smoke. Maybe it's our grill, but I think if you started the grill with a higher temperature and let the wood get a good start on smoking, it might work better. Bottom line, it did work, and the turkey and chicken we had on the grill tasted good. Just not quite as much of a smokey flavor as we had hoped for. The box is very well made and can easily be used over and over. We have a full large smoker, but sometimes you just want to make a single meal for a couple of people and the large smoker requires a lot of cleaning. This is the perfect option.

So two very different comparisons going on here. First, this smoker on a gas grill vs. an actual smoker with chunks of wood. Second, this smoker on a gas grill vs. improvising with tinfoil packets.For the first, you are never going to get the depth of flavor on a gas grill with the smaller amount of smoke as you get with a real smoker, but it is SO much easier that you will likely do it a lot more often. It's easier just to hold the temperature you need for the time it takes to smoke things, and you use a lot less wood. This worked really well on the grill.For the second, I've smoked things on the gas grill in the past by making a little tinfoil boat or packet to hold the wood chips and that's totally doable, but it's another step, sometimes goes wrong (gets torn, knocked over, etc. whereas this thing is virtually indestructable/undisturbable), and you're using tinfoil so if you're into the reduce/reuse/recycle thing, this is for you.My favorite thing to smoke this "quick and easy and all the time" way is chickens. Love the briskets and whole pork Boston butts but chicken is an unsung hero. You end up with healthier meat that gives the satisfaction of bacon or something like that, it goes relatively quickly (2-3hrs vs. all day for the bigger cuts), and you can make things like chicken salads, soups (boil the carcass for smokey chicken stock!) and casseroles that are extra special for the smoke flavor. And a couple of roasting hens are pretty cheap food these days.Highly recommend this if you're looking for an easy way to smoke on the grill, and to do so fairly frequently.

Nothing too special about the box but it works well. Coming with chips already in it makes kind of a mess when pulling this out of the box initially, and it's not that big of a deal since most of us buying this probably already have the $2-3 worth of chips included. But it works good enough to keep a steady smoke going throughout my process. The one thing I don't like is there's no handle or slat to easily open the box up to put more chips in it when it's in the grill without putting your arm near the heat and touching the box directly with a glove/mitt.

This is a great way to get some of the flavor of smoked meat on our regular gas grill. Our son is the real pit-master in our family, and he uses his smoker often and is always interested in trying new recipes. But he lives far away, so although my husband does like to grill, he has never really been interested in using the smoker our son left behind (he bought a new one once he got settled into his new place). I thought this would be fun to try without learning how to set up and use the smoker. The smoker pan is simply designed and is just the right size to fit on the grill, but still leave plenty of room for the food. The directions mentioned that the amount of wood chips is suitable for a single use and then the pan will need a refill. But, I went ahead and only used half of the wood chips and I thought the flavor imparted to the meat was just right. I had ordered the cherry wood without really knowing much about it -- the box the kit arrived in also included a little chart to help with matching different kinds of meat to different varieties of wood chips. We used it for ribs and it is so easy to use on our gas grill (just heat on high with the cover closed until it starts to smoke, and then add the meat and turn the heat down). I initially thought the price was a bit high, but I found that I can easily refill the pan with different types of wood chips inexpensively and it is definitely sturdy enough to stand up to lots of use on the grill. The kit arrived nicely boxed and would make a great gift.

I have had these smoker boxes for years and this one is good to. Just fill it up and put on your grill and the whole neighborhood will be coming over...(LOL). I makes your food have a smoky flavored taste. I love these and use them all the time when grilling. You can purchase other chips with different flavors. If you like to grill, you need to get one.

We've used this little magical box on so many occasions now. Let me tell you, it makes for THE best hotdogs out of the simplest, cheapest hot dogs you can find. It adds the perfect flavor to anything and I highly recommend trying out different types of wood chips once you get through these! They recommend lower temp settings but we're just careful when we're using higher temps.Now let me be clear, you will always get best results with a smoker, but I have four kids and simply don't have the time for that sometimes.We will never be without one of these again!

Using it was a first time for me, but I will say I did like the taste that I take after the steak and pork chop that I cook with them. The instructions were pretty clear and it seem easy to use to me. I would recommend for those who like grilling it does give a little extra taste to your food so make sure you are picking a would chip that you enjoy the smell or taste of because it will definitely infuse that into your food

This is a pretty cool concept. It does take a bit for the smoke to build up and for your food it kind of sit in it to absorb flavor but you can actually tell some. I'm sure it would be better in an actually smoker but this gives you a little bit of it and is alot easier to use.
