No Smoke Flavor

so you put pellets and wood chips in the tube and you wet them or anything or just lay them on the girl racks and let them do their thing?

I don’t wet them. I fill up the tube and light it
After it’s burned for a bit I blow out the flame and roll some smoke

Oh ok and just put on top of the grill grates? Which give do you have and how long do they last per cook

Last a good bit. Definitely long enough to get it with a great smoke flavor

How do you actually use a smoke tube? I understand you put pellets I assume inside a tube and then what?

Yes to smoke tube and I’ve used both Kirkland and Bear Mountain Gourmet Blend. I used the same pellets in the tube as the smoker. Both of these pellets DONOT produce much smoke flavor but the do produce a smoke ring.

I layer wood chips with pellets in mine
I pull the meat out of the fridge after lighting it
It’ll absorb the smoke easier when the meat is cold
Hopefully this helps you

I have been just using pellets.

I Light the smoke tube with a propane torch, let it flame for a minute or two, blow out the flame..and I have plenty of smoke. I place it on a rack at the lowest point in the smoker.

In my experience, you really don't get true smoke taste on my.. Pit Boss... Maybe a little hint.... tubes and everything else that I use nothing comes close to my weber grill when I smoke on that... Pit Boss cooks find... That's about it

I will say the PB is nice it's very convenient and easy to use but no you will not get the same smoke flavor as from a stick burner but on the PB I put my brisket on at 10pm and go to sleep can't really do that with a stick burner so yes you may give up some smoke flavored bit there are other great benefits to it.

I tried everything to get more smoke flavor out of my Brunswick nothings really worked. In fact, you see the photo had hardwood BurningI in this contraption. It gave me a hint of smoke flavor nothing like when I get out of my Weber when I smoke in it.... Tubes never did a thing with pellets and chips of wood... Remember, can't taste smoke rings...

I get smoke flavor from the PB just not as much as from stick burner smoker but the ease of the pellet is nice
