Translates to about $42 USD shipped.

I intend to use it in my gas grill, but may experiment with the Weber charcoal unit too.

Will have to find a bag of pellets my kids can wrap and give me too.

To help with the meal, use Bob'shttps://www.amazenproducts.com with  no grill heat and a large hunk of cheese or two or three and 3 -4 hours later some of the best cheese ever.

We have filled the smoker, about 20# plus in 3 to 4 lb  blocks.  Salmon or any cold smoke item.

Yes, you can now do "cold smoking".

Broke open the smoken tube and some hickory pellets.  Did 2 chicken leg quarters and some sausage to dry run the process.  Learned a few things.

1 - you may think that you can start pellets in one of those tubes with a lighter.  Or a candle.  You will then go buy a torch. 

2 - the torch will light the tube in short order.

3 - when the external temp is around -1C my gas Q with one burner full out will hold a temp of 220F.

4 - much of what I learned experimenting with my Weber kettle does translate well.

Both legs and both sausage accepted and devoured in short order.  Tomorrow already being planned. 

Great toy that smoke tube, once you figure it out.
