The maze-n tube works great and works in either a regular bbq or a smoker. It develops smoke not heat. A smoker provides heat and smoke. I use in both and it augments the smoke in my smoker for a little extra smoke.

I have a Yoder 640 and still use this on certain smokes. It works great!! I have a weber smoker and use the tube with it as well. Over New Years, I smoked six chickens and the taste was great. I would recommend the tube.

A "regular smoker" is the best, of course. I use my A-maze-n Tube with a Charbroil Infrared gas grill and a RecTec pellet smoker. Usually, I just add the right kind of wood chunks to the gas grill, but every now and then I'll use the tube smoker for a quick shot of smoke. I almost always use it on my Rec Tec, because pellet smokers seem to make less smoke as the temp rises above 200-225 degrees. I think it has to do with the pellets more completely burning at higher temps, producing less smoke. I think the A-Maze-n Tube Smoker would greatly enhance your grilling and smoking. Make sure you buy a bag of several smoke flavors, so you can diversify a little. Enjoy! A "regular smoker" is the best, of course.

It will work in a Weber grill. It works very well - lots of smoke - nice smoke ring. If you can afford it, a regular full smoker is best - I have a Traeger and it is the bomb, but I also use the smoke tube for cold smoking as the Traeger won't do that.

Yes, you can use any grill as long as it has a lid. You won't be turning on the grill, just lighting the tube smoker and letting it go.

It was a friend with a gas grill who first introduced me to the A-maze-n Tube smoker. He has three heating zones on the grill. He uses one zone for heat and then places the meat and smoker tube in the cool zones for smoking. Using a good internal thermometer is also important, so that you know what the true temperature inside the grill is (often the lid top thermometers are as much as 15-30 degrees off the actual temperature). Good luck!

We'll nothing beats a full size smoker.But to get into smoking to see if it's for you this is a great way to start

I have tried it several times in my weber grill. I cannot get it to stay lit. I have tried to crack the lid a little, with it on the side where there is no heat turned on. The smoke goes right out the "crack" in the grill. I also let it burn for at least 20 minutes before i put it in there, still no luck.

never had a dedicated smoker but this thing works wonders. Use it every week. Love the fact that I can burn off a grill at 500F+ which can't do with smoker. Not easy to clean after a while I hear. I use the high-end pellets (like BBQ Delight) and I have Hickory, Apple and Pecan. Bags will last forever! Go for it

Sorry for the late response but they will add a small amount of flavor, if you really want more smoke then check out a smoke daddy or what I actually prefer the AMNTS it is EXTREMELY easy to use and much cheaper and you don't have to modify your grill in any way. Check out the AMNTS and that will give you all of the smoke flavor that you truly seek! I can tell you that it will be hard to tell if it came from an offset smoker or a pellet grill, the flavor will be amazing!!!!

Not sure, we have a Traeger smoker. Looks like other reviewers are saying yes.

Wood chunks work better. A Weber potholder, A good SMOKING cookbook. My husband and I just got the Weber Smokey Mountain, and we love it. We bought lots of cheaper smokers, but none compare to this one!!!!! ENJOY!!!!!!!

Shawn,I may have misunderstood your question when I responded about the Smokey Joe. I haven't heard of Weber's 14 1/2 smoker and don't see it listed on Amazon. For smoking I use the Smokenator (which Amazon carries) with my Weber kettle grill and am well satisfied. The Smokenator comes in different sizes including one to fit the Smokey Joe. Dave

As you are probaby aware, Traeger grills are better for smoking and slow cooking than for grilling. I use mine almost exclusively for low-temp smoky goodness. But, with the grill grates directly on the Traeger cooking grate and the temp up high, it is possible to grill on the Traeger using the GrillGrate provided you give them ample time to heat up.. That is why I bought them. Having said that, I mostly use them on my propane grill.

This unit works with the big and little smokey joes and the small rectangular go anywhere grills(gas & charcoal) if you have an Ace Hardware near you, they carry just about anything weber. Home Depot usually does to

Dear Beth, you would have to do some modification in order to establish a water try for your grill. I would suggest two things. 1. Look online (youtube) regarding the modification. 2. Also to learn all the modifications your grill, like mine need to make if an efficient smoker.

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!

This works with any kind of smoker. The heat source is not the smoker, it it filled with your choice of wood pellets and then lit. It will produce all the smoke you need. I personally have side box on my electric "fridge smoker". I smoke everything from cheese to pork ribs to salmon. It works great.

I just smoked two full racks a couple of weekends ago. I used a Weber rib rack on the lower grill, and this held 3 half-racks upright, and I laid the last half rack flat on the upper grill. All were spaced far enough apart to get smoked and came out great. You could probably use another rib rack on the upper grill to get 3+ full racks done, but it'll be a tight fit at that point.

I would say it does not grill as well as charcoal or gas. My RT is a little slow getting up to 500 degrees to grill I added the grill grates and it does grill better with them in place. Some remove the drip pan while grilling and it does heat up very quickly with it removed and they say it works well I have not tried it myself. Over all I am very happy with the REC TEC grill I have not used my charcoal grill since I got it last April .I use the RT for smoking , baking pizza or breads, side dishes etc makes great beef Jerky and with the grill grates installed it does grill well .Cold weather will slow it down a bit so I use a welding blanket to cover it while cooking in very cold weather as I don't have a grilling season !

Yes, provided your smoker is big enough. It fits in my 18.5" Weber so take it from there. Happy smoking!

Yes , The only thing that I do is remove the greats , from the unit , My weber is quite old it is the Silver series inside measures. 24 x 15 and the lid is 7 1\2 " deep , I suggest that you place yourRib o lator on your unit to check for clearance , adj as needed , if it does not fit your unit return it. , if it does then lots of great cooking is comming your way, 4 different trays 4 different mealsAll at the same time .and if you like a smoky flavor you can get a smoke box that works on the gas q.I don't use the center burner ,and a lower heat setting , keep the lid closed , and use the BBQ like an oven.

My husband put it on our regular charcoal Weber. He loves it and says it works great! I've notice a difference in his cooking too. :-)

Yes, the smoker can be used in a gas grill. It's all a matter of controlling the amount of heat you use to get the desired results. Since the smoke generator does not produce any substantial heat, you simply heat the grill as you normally would to cook the food and the smoke flavor is induced while it cooks.
