Go Blue! Great video, going to try this technique tomorrow on my brisket.
Thanks for watching! Smoke on!!!
Nice video, bud! I have tried bunch of different steak rubs myself, but nothing seems to beat kosher and 16 mesh pepper! Smoke on!!
@@81carters that’s true, but I have to add garlic as well. However, it’s always fun to try new flavors. Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment. Smoke on!!!
nice info, I have a lot of chips from my last smoker left over, now i will use them also
Produces a nice extra kick of smoke flavor. Thanks for watching!
Hey Zach!
I just smoker two turkeys for Thanksgiving. I have a Pit Boss vertical smoker and a smoke tube. I'd thought about using wood chips in the smoke tube for some time now, but never tried it until now. The difference was, I was thinking chips INSTEAD of pellets in the tube. But your suggestion of mixing the two made more sense to me. I have to tell you, the turkeys stole the show! The mix in the tube did burn faster, but I was okay with that. I wanted the extra smoke for the early part of the cook. Thanks for the tip!
Congratulations on the successful Cook! That is such a good feeling. Happy holidays to you and your family and Smoke on!
Thanks, I’m gonna try try that
Smoke on!!!
Hi Zach, I'm a new subscriber and I just bought a Pit Boss Pro. Looks like I need to get a smoke tube and mix my pellets and chips to get better smoke. Thanks for all of the hints you publish.
Welcome to the channel! Tinker around with it and figure out how you like it. That’s the best thing about making our own bbq! We can learn to make it how we like it!!!
thanks for the tip
You bet!
Epic video. Great idea about putting in wood chips!
I can't take full credit. One of my awesome subs recommended it. Thanks for stopping by Grill Sergeant. Always welcome! Smoke on
Awesome as usual
I really like this method. Thanks for watching and smoke on!!!
Awesome sharing brother 👍
Thanks!
Not sure that you'll see this, but I just bought a a Pitboss Smoker from Lowes 2 days ago. While there I also bought 2 smoke tubes and they are the Amazen brand. Just clicked on this video to see your tips on the tube and thought it was funny that I happened to buy that brand. Anyways if you need more, seems like Lowes is carrying them. Thanks for the tips. Wish me luck on my first cook tonight. 😂
Thanks for the info. How did your cook turn out?
I run 2 smoke tube in my Vert, Hort Smoker's. When one burns out, I just light the other one.
Ahhh… wisdom
Have you tried a stick burner? It's a labor of love if you are a hands-off bbq enthusiast, but it's fun if you enjoy the flames, stoking the fire, etc. But the results are better then a pellet smoker with a smoke tube. I own a Traeger and an OK Joes stick burner, and the stick burner is simply superior with flavor, smoke, and bark. I use my Traeger for shorter cooks because I've found it simply can't do as good of bbq with long cooks as my stick burner. Thanks for your videos.
I’ve been around stick burner cooks and helped manage a few fires. I’ve never had one myself though. I’m currently researching them and working out a budget. (That means I’ll buy one in about two years) 😅
You’re right about the quality of the Q. It’s what all other types of cookers strive to replicate.
Thanks for watching! Smoke on!!!
I just saw smoke tubes for sale at the local Lowes
Time to tube up!
Do you just light the pellets and let it burn? I have a smoke box and use charcoal but only get about 1.5 to 2 houra of smoke from it
I just bought mine at Lowe’s.
Good to know!
I got the basket instead of the tube. Do I light the pellets before I put it in the smoker? Also can I use wood chunks in it and if so do I lite those also? Sorry new to the smoking world and just got my first pitboss pro series smoker.
Light the pellets before closing the smoker door. The need more air to burn than to smolder. Let them burn for 7-10 minutes then it’s ok to close them up in the smoker. I have not used chunks in my bracket yet, but I intend to try it. Come over to my Facebook group. American Smoke Carnivores. Lots of people in there sharing tips and recipes.
Thanks for watching! Smoke on!!!
Did you ever get the new digital controller to work on your Pit Boos cabinet?
No. Spoke with them 3 days ago. Still on back order. Just making it work
enjoy your videos as i recently purchased the pit boss vertical like what you are using. do o use the same flavor pellets in the tube as what you have in the hopper? or do you mix and match? also i have seen some videos where they are using a charcoal blend, i dont know that i want to risk experimenting thats why i watch you as you have learned from your mistakes and share that. so- all that being said what is your take on the different flavors of pellets ie charcoal blend?
Typically I use a blend such as Pit Boss Competition blend in my hopper, occasionally mixed with 1/3-1/2 charcoal blend. For my tube I use whatever flavor I want to emphasize. So if I’m smoking a pork loin and want apple wood smoke to stand out, that’s what I put into the tube.
I hope this helps.
Thanks for watching!
Come over to American Smoke Carnivores on Facebook. Lost of people to learn from, or teach, depending on personal experience.
Microwave the pellets for a few minutes to get more moisture out of the pellets to improve the burn.
How in the world did you come up with that? Very interesting
@@TheAmericanSmoke I heard someone once talk about keeping the pellets dry and figured why not microwave or bake them to remove excess moisture to promote a faster cleaner burn.
@@mrsparefox3704 so you have done this and feel there is a benefit?
@@TheAmericanSmoke The pellets seem to light easier and stay lit longer to build a nice amount of hot coals.
Products still not available. I just got a Kingsford since it was $13. Only 8" but whatever lol. It's just supplemental.
As far as I can tell, a smoke tube is a smoke tube.
Roll Tide
That’s a big Roll Tide!
Have you just used chips to fill tube if so what's the smolder time and flavor result? Thanks Don
Never done all chips. They would probably burn up in about 20 minutes. I’ll run a test.
@American Smoke Thanks, I will be using a tube and I'll wait for your results.
