I've always used charcoal, just recently purchased my dream gas grill. Honestly, I missed the smokey flavor, so I purchased this unit - quite a bit less than the one that Weber offers. Used it for the first time last night. I now LOVE my gas grill, I get that great smokey flavor with this unit. It did catch fire, but that was my fault for not soaking my chips long enough - but I poured a little water in the top and all was good. Highly recommend this for the price and the performance. I'll try and post back after I've had it for a year, to update it longevity. The only thing I would change would be to by the shorter version, on my Weber I have to lift both grates to open the smoker box. I should have purchased two shorter versions and then I would only have to lift one grate to refill.

This "long" model is a perfect fit for my new model Weber Genesis (with front controls and burners running front-to-back.) Sits flush with the top of the flavorizer bars.

I was fortunate to have chosen the E330 model grill with the "Sear Station" burner. We bought two of theses smoker boxes and place one on each side of the sear burner. Using the sear burner only, set on low the grill maintains perfect barbeque temperature and the boxes provide smoke for a good amount of time.

As a true barbeque fanatic it's hard to admit that we achieved real slow-smoked barbeque from a gas grill!

I've been looking to buy a smoker box for years but they were always a little too pricey. This one was at such a reasonable price that I was concerned that it would be flimsy. But it's not. It's sturdy and fits my grill perfectly.

I live in an area where charcoal grills are prohibited, so I'm stuck with a gas grill. Finally I can get grilled food that tastes like what I remember from when I was a kid.

Load it up with chips, and you can get 30 minutes or better of heavy smoke. I use it on a Weber Silver Genesis A. The V shape lets it sink in between flavorizor bars. Great design, well made.

My old rectangular box smoker (from K-mart) finally rusted through after two years of use. I got this model for three particular reasons: a) It is stainless steel construction (hope this lasts longer); b) The top is hinged for easy load and cleaning; and c) As the previous reviewer stated - the price was right.

I bought two since I do a dry rub and slow smoke (3+hrs) pork ribs - placing one smoker on each end of the BBQer. The bigger model (there are two sizes) is too long to drop the smoker in-between the two end burners, but this turned out fine since it lays on top and in-between the two end burners at an angle with the top holes pointing toward the center - directing the smoke to the meat from two directions.

The result so far is some fine slow smoked ribs and chicken.

Time will tell how long these will last - so far so good eats.

Since we discovered the smoker box, a new universe opened for us. The hickory chips give a wonderful, distinc, yet not overpowering, flavor to our grilled meat. And it smells divine in our patio! We are hooked on this!
I can not believe we did not know about this before and that so many of our friends have no idea what they are missing!!!

I love this product, but it's just a little long to fit right in my charbroil grill. It holds a lot of wood in it and lets the grate sit normally, unlike my previous smoke box.

Used the smoker box for the first time on grilling swordfish steaks. Used a combo of chips designed for fish - alder,apple and cherry woods.
Added great flavor to the fish. Couple of favorable remarks made about the distinct taste. Haven't used it yet for meats or chicken, but so far well pleased. Great buy for the money, strongly recommend.

It works. My first concern when I saw it was the metal case's gauge being too thin. This should not be a concern. The triangular shape fits well between my gas burners, reducing top to bottom space requisite under grill bars, The only negative I experienced was that the smoker continues to smoke after gas burners are shut off. However, a water filled sprayer bottle should remedy that problem.

this box works great.it fits our grill very well and holds enough chips to do the job it was intended to do.we have only used it once so far but it did a great job.sure glad we bought 2 of them,1 for each of our grills.we soaked the wood chips over night and they lasted long enough to add lots of smoke flavor to the meat.this is a great product,everyone that has a gas grill should have one.
