If you’re looking for maximum smoking time, the A-MAZE-N Oval Expanding Pellet Tube is a great choice. It features an innovative design that allows for you to adjust the tube length between 12 inches and 18 inches long.

The tube is 12 inches long so it has plenty of room for around 3-4 cups of pellets that can last for up to five hours of smoking. (Remember to burn them for about 10 minutes before putting the smoke tube into the grill.) The durable stainless steel material is extremely straightforward to clean and shouldn't need to be replaced for years. Pellet grills work by burning wood pellets already, but they have a reputation for giving food a mild, subtle smoky flavor. Using a smoke tube is a cheap and easy way to get a flavor boost. It's not just the size of the smoke tube you should pay attention to. The size of the holes in the tube are also important. Larger ones allow for more smoke to escape the tube, but may mean that some smaller wood pellets could fall out. Smaller holes let less smoke out, but there can be more of them in the tube and it can hold the wood in more efficiently.

Most 6-inch models can last you for at least two to three hours of smoke time, but as you get closer to a 12-inch model, you can smoke for upwards of five hours.

It also can be used to cold-smoke food without turning the grill on. This accessory is designed to WORK IN ANY GRILL AND SMOKER (gas, electric or charcoal) and with any smokers. It ADDS GREAT FLAVOR for your meat or fish and expose them with a tasteful smell of smoldering wood.
