The Full Review
Fill the tube with wood pellets. Light one end with a torch. Let it burn for 10 minutes, then blow it out so it smolders. Place it in your grill. That's it.
For hot smoking, drop it alongside your regular heat source for extra smoke flavor on gas grills. For cold smoking, use it alone with no heat — perfect for cheese, salmon, bacon, and nuts.
I cold-smoked cheddar cheese on my Weber Kettle using only the tube smoker (no charcoal). Two hours at ambient temperature produced gorgeously smoky cheese that aged in the fridge for two weeks into something extraordinary.
At $20, this is the cheapest entry into smoking for gas grill owners. The stainless steel construction means it'll last literally forever.
Who Is It For?
Gas grill owners who want smoke flavor. Anyone curious about cold smoking. Budget-conscious cooks who want to experiment with smoking techniques.
Final Verdict
The A-MAZE-N tube smoker is the best $20 you can spend in outdoor cooking. It opens up an entirely new world of smoking — especially cold smoking — with zero learning curve.
