Amaze-n smoker tube

Post by chrisbonnie »

Has anybody seen this gadget for sale in Europe?

I found a place in the US that sells it, and will ship, but the delivery cost is more than the actual tube.

I've seen these before in the US but i don't know of anyone selling them in the UK, but i've thought that you could always just use a bird feeder and fill that with pellets and it would do the same thing.

If you took the plastic bits off it looks like it would do it.

Would you be using it for hot or cold smoking? If just cold then the ProQ cold smoke generator's the UK equivalent product. I recommend 'em and they give a much longer burn time (10-12 hours)

The idea of this product is to add more smoke to your meat when cooking hot and fast on a pellet cooker, so the ProQ CSG won't work.

My take on this device after seeing a post on pelletheads forums.

I bought the tube here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/260841086929? ... 1423.l2649
cut it to 12inches and cut slots in one end and bent over the bits to seal the tube.

Put pellets in and tamped them down with a lump of wood and lit it with a poncy chefs torch. 11 inches of tube gave over 5 hours of constant smoke.

At 3.5 hours: Image

Not as pretty as the real thing but it works....

Did you use just the pellets for the only smoke or did you use them for extra smoke?

How smoked was the meat? :D

I was using it for extra smoke, I had a small lump of pork loin that I stuck on for 3 hours. It was much smokier than normal but not overpowering

A bit of left over, it does show a smoke ring: Image
