Working away from home so I don't have access to my Traeger, so today we're going to
try some pork shoulder cushion meat on my gas grill using indirect heat and a a-maz-in
wood pellet tube to add smoke.  Wishing all the veterans a blessed day.  I'd do it all over
again if asked.

Those are great little units. I'd highly recommend them to anyone using gas or electric cookers to provide some smoke.

Indeed!
I don't own a gas or electric smoker, so I don't use one of them. The BBQ guys that do though, are all over them and speak highly of them.
I've recommended them to a few coworkers that have electric smokers and they love them.
They've removed the factory wood chip tray and got a tube to replace it. They're getting much more smoke for a longer time period than ever.

I feel like a hillbilly!

I just wrap up some wood chips in tinfoil and toss it into the Weber charcoal kettle when I do chicken etc.

I never use smoke in my gas grill, the Napoleon is kept for fast family cooking.  Long weekends belong to the Weber kettle!

That works too!
You poke holes in the foil?

I let the girls poke the holes.  It produces plenty of smoke, but I imagine far less predictably and controlled vs an actual device for it.

I still find it hard to adequately smoke stuff, and not just cook it with smoke.  Takes time and experimentation I suppose.

I've never heard of the brand, and that's awful cheap.
Might be good for somebody wanting to dip their toes into the waters of pellet smoking.
Personally, I'd go for the base model Traeger for not much more.

It's a camp chef.   Very similar to Traeger with a couple of extras.
They seem to have a decent following.  The extra temp probe is nice.

We make them out of old refrigerators. The older, the better (the tar & paper-insulated round cornered ones from the '50's are awesome, but are becoming collectible so perhaps not cost effective) but any will do.

Converting a 'fridge to a smoker means punching holes in it, so kids can't suffocate should they somehow get inside one, but it's a good idea to put a hasp and padlock on the door to keep the Nanny State from harassing you.
