Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Award-winning chef-restaurateur Tom Douglas, Pinzon, and Amazon.com introduce a line of multi-functional products that will inspire home chefs and build confidence in the kitchen. This oval-shaped smoker box, constructed of nonstick heavy-gauge metal, infuses extra flavor into meals prepared on the charcoal grill, and adds a smoky wood flavor to meals prepared on a gas grill. Create customized smoke flavors by placing soaked wood chips or herbs into the box, attaching the lid, and setting it on the grill. With such a foolproof process, novice grillers will look like professionals while guests enjoy mouth-watering, smoke-infused flavors. When finished, let the box cool completely, empty contents, and wash by hand or in the dishwasher. The smoker box measures 5-7/8 inches by 3-3/4 inches by 1-1/2 inches and features the Tom Douglas logo.

Tom's Tips I like to soak my wood chips for 10 minutes first so they don't burn too fast. Smoke boxes are a great way to add "smoke" to a gas barbecue. With this smoker box you're actually infusing foods with the smoke flavors. Vary the type of wood chip you use to achieve different flavor infusions.

(What's this?)

I'm a Texan (Texaswomyn, right?) so I love smoked meat. Brisket, chicken, ribs, pork chops, beef roast, etc. We've got smokers: two big 'ole charcoal smokers, a big 'ole propane/electric smoker, and I've even got one of them Cameron stove top smokers, (I'm gonna drop the bad grammar now) so I was quite curious about this smoker accessory. First off, it's small. I mean, Rhode Island small. It's about 6 inches long, 3 inches wide and maybe 1.5 inches tall, so the wood you use to smoke with has to be chipped up very small and it doesn't hold a lot; I didn't weigh or measure what it holds but it's probably not over a cup of chips. One big problem is that small quantity of wood doesn't last long enough to provide a good "smoke" flavor and create that highly desired smoke ring on meat.

If your only desire is for a hint of smoke to mask the charcoal (and heaven forbid - charcoal lighter fluid) taste from your grilled steak or chicken breast, then this little box will do that, to a small degree. Be sure you soak the wood first so it lasts a little longer and smokes a little more.

And hey, Rhode Island - no offense, OK ya'll?

I finally got a chance to use this, and well, this is one of those products that you don't really need. For the amount of smoke flavor that it puts out, soaked wood chips wrapped in a piece of aluminum foil will work just as well. It's a cute little box that holds a small amount of wood chips and delivers an equally small amount of smoke. If you just like to have gadgets and cool looking tools then this will fit the bill. Otherwise, save your money and invest in a roll of heavy duty aluminum foil to fashion your own smoker box and call it a day.

By the way, the lid is sort of hard to get off, and I broke a nail in the process.

Good little smoker for burgers or hotdogs. Don't expect this to make large portions of meat taste smokey. It produces a moderate amount of smoke but is no substitute for a real smoker. Not a bad buy for the price. Adds extra flavor to burgers, steaks, and hotdogs.
