Has anyone used these in an electric smoker yet? The recipe I'm looking at is at a relative low to medium temp (250 degrees, I think). Thanks!

All the time, I've smoked dozens of things using these pans, they're great.

I use them in a charcoal grill as a drip pan in between the coals and to bake beans in. I believe that's over 300 degrees F.

I have used it as a smoker. You have to be careful and keep an eye on the temp gauge.

It's very difficult in my experience. First, the temp gauge is very inaccurate, as I'm sure everyone would attest. I've used a separate temp probe in the box to keep track. The valve control knob is very sensitive, and just touching it can cause the temperature to creep up or down by 25 degrees or more. The burner's proximity to the tray where the wood chips go makes it so if you do get the burner down to where it will maintain about 225F in the box, the chips don't get hot enough to smoke. I've mostly given up on 225F, and try to maintain 250F to 270F for most meats.

Yes, I've used it in my smoker, temps ranging from 225-275, on my grill, 300-500, and in my oven at 425.

I purchased this burner for a homemade smoker and I am able to dial the flame low enough to consistently get 200'F temps, yet high enough to smoke two full hams in 5'F weather in an uninsulated cabinet. My smoker is approx the same size as yours so you should be fine. I can't comment on the physical installation into your smoker though. Hope this helps.

Hi Curt , I would think you would have to burn them on there own? If you have done that not sure : ( But we used ours for our BBQ smoker as they put out great heat .

I didn't use them in a smoker, just in a regular grill, the flavor comes through nicely on anything!

Tomorrow my son n law will be using his Kettle as a smoker and be using some wood, not sure how all wood will work. Are you going to smoke or grill using wood?Question for you, what do you cover your Smoker with? I can not find a cover for this monster. Thanks Don

These were a present for my son, so I haven't used them. Since smoking is usually at fairly low temperatures, I am assuming that being close to the meat or even bumping it wouldn't burn the skin.

My only suggestion would be to close the vents more to keep the heat in. Make sure you do not open the smoker either. Was it in a breeze? These are the only things I can suggest. Link to youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3Z_TUmUZb8&list=PLac9Z7pi1Oitbb6OQGvAR6kCpJ3vzXq3E

I agree w stan the mailman. and you can use throw away foil pans to smoke in. their really no mess besides emptying the wood smoker pan . I like to be able to set my temp and walk away. I bought a remote probe but haven't really need it. just set your temp low and I usually keep wood chucks in a old coffee can full of water so their ready to go. have fun. also you can modify the vents to close it down more. helps w the heat and smoke

I do not have a specific temperature, but I have used these with success when handling my hot rotisserie spit without issue.

I think heat is the most important thing for the smoker to work well, but i would check with Cameron for a definite answer. I do know the smoker is wonderful!

Nope. Sorry I cannot help. I used them in a Treager pellet grill and they did not reach as high a temp as the Treager pellets. 400 degrees from Treager pellets. Only 350 max from these pellets.

I love this pellet grill, I would add a smoke generator to it I did. Go to smoke daddy.com . It depends on the temp you want, higher the temp the faster they burn. The temps are 160 degrees to 480 degrees.

I haven't really tested the low end or done any cold smoking. That being said, I have maintained 190-194F, while using a digital probe thermometer - the dial thermometer is consistently 50-90F off. I still had the ability to lower the flame/temp when I was holding this temp. I have been very happy with the smoker's performance, and wouldn't hesitate to try cold smoking with it. Hope that helps.

Suprised it was damaged!! Mine was packed like a very well! As for the temp? I had that problem yesterday. Smoked a pork roast. Fired up just fine and was running too hot 250! Had both burners on low and both dampers open all the way. So, I turned the valve back on the propane tank. Next think I know the temp is at 150 and when I turn it up the temp will not increase. I shut everything down. Opened the valve on the propane tank all the way and restarted it. Worked fine after that. The propane regulators are very cheap now days and seem to have some issues. I have only used it 3 times and here are some suggestions. Keep what you are smoking if it is a small amount at the same level as the temp gauge. Only use 1 burner at a time. Why? When the 1st one burns out of wood chips you start the other. Then you can change out the chips and it is not hot. Wrap the pans in tin foil! They stay nice and it is an easy clean up when you are done. I am also looking into getting a very thin fire proof seal for the door. It is metal against metal and leaks some smoke. May not be worth the cost but a thought. Also..Make sure you burn it off!! Do it slow and work the vents and the doors as it heats up! They will stick! Hope this helps! Going to do a big turkey this weekend?! Yikes!!!
