Using A Smoke Tube Works With Pellets or Wood Shavings

Yes. Fill the tube with pellets or wood shavings, light it, and let it smolder to produce smoke.

Fill the tube with pellets, light the open end until they are flaming, let it burn for five to seven minutes, blow it out, then lay it flat on the grate with the perforations facing up.

Smoke Tube for Pellet Grills — 6-Inch or 12-Inch Stainless Steel Pellet Smoker Tube

Want more wood-smoke flavor without changing your whole grill setup? The Butcher BBQ Smoke Tube lets you add smoldering wood smoke to a compatible pellet grill, gas grill, charcoal grill, or outdoor smoker. Fill it with dry smoking pellets or suitable wood chips, light it according to the enclosed instructions, and place it safely inside your cooker.

Its octagon-shaped stainless steel design helps keep the tube from rolling on the grate. It doesn't need electricity, and you can choose the size that fits your cooking time.

Choose the Right Smoke Tube Size

6-inch smoke tube — $12.99: Approximately 2–3 hours of smoke. A compact choice for shorter grilling sessions and smaller cookers.
12-inch smoke tube — $15.99: Approximately 4–6 hours of smoke. A longer-burning option for ribs, pork, brisket, and extended cooks.

Smoke times are estimates. Actual results vary with pellet or chip type, fuel dryness, airflow, and grill conditions.

Why I Use a Smoke Tube

Extra smoke flavor: Supplement the smoke already produced by your cooker.
Octagonal design: Helps keep the tube from rolling on the grate.
Stainless steel: Designed for repeated outdoor smoking use.
Two sizes: Pick a shorter or longer smoke session.
Pellets or chips: Choose your preferred cooking wood flavor.
No electricity required: Smolders independently after lighting.
Instructions included: Guidance for getting started.

How to Use the Smoke Tube

Choose dry wood pellets or appropriately sized smoking chips intended for cooking. Fuel is sold separately.
Fill the tube and light one end outdoors using a suitable torch, following the enclosed instructions.
Once the fuel is established and smoldering, position the tube securely on a heat-safe grate inside a compatible outdoor grill or smoker.
Maintain adequate airflow and keep the hot tube clear of food, grease, and combustible surfaces.
After cooking, allow the tube and ashes to cool completely before cleaning or storing.

Safety note: Use outdoors only with proper ventilation. The tube becomes extremely hot. Do not handle it barehanded or use it in enclosed indoor spaces. For cold-smoking applications, remember that the burning fuel still adds heat; monitor temperatures and follow appropriate food-safety practices.

Pick your size and add the smoke flavor you want. Trust Your Butcher.

Let Me Tell You More

Sometimes a pellet grill gives you the temperature control you want but not quite the smoke flavor you're after. That's when I like having a smoke tube in the kit. It adds another source of wood smoke without changing the grill itself.

The 6-inch tube is handy for shorter sessions, while the 12-inch tube gives you a longer smoke window. I also like the octagon shape because it helps the tube stay put on the grate.

Use dry smoking pellets, follow the lighting directions, give it safe airflow, and let the tube do its job. It won't replace good fire management, but it's a simple way to add smoke flavor to the cook. Trust Your Butcher.

Pitside Answers

Ask the Pitmaster

What cooks ask us most about Smoke Tube for Pellet Grill Smoke Flavor, answered straight from the pit.

What does a smoke tube do on a pellet grill?

A smoke tube smolders wood pellets or suitable small wood chips to produce additional wood smoke inside a compatible outdoor grill or smoker. It works independently of the grill's pellet hopper.

What sizes are available for the Butcher BBQ Smoke Tube?

Choose a 6-inch tube or a 12-inch tube. The 6-inch version is listed at $12.99 and the 12-inch version at $15.99.

How long does the 6-inch smoke tube produce smoke?

The 6-inch tube is listed for approximately 2–3 hours of smoke. Actual burn time varies with fuel, airflow, and conditions.

How long does the 12-inch smoke tube produce smoke?

The 12-inch tube is listed for approximately 4–6 hours of smoke. Actual burn time depends on fuel type, packing, and ventilation.

Why is the smoke tube octagon-shaped?

Its eight-sided shape helps it stay in place on a flat grill surface instead of rolling like a round tube.

Can I use wood pellets or wood chips in the smoke tube?

Yes. The product lists pellets or chips as suitable fuel. Use dry, appropriately sized smoking fuel and follow the enclosed lighting instructions.

Are wood pellets or chips included?

No. Pellets and wood chips are not included with the smoke tube.

Will the smoke tube work on a gas or charcoal grill?

The product is designed for use with outdoor grills and smokers, including pellet, gas, and charcoal equipment, provided there is safe clearance and adequate ventilation. Follow the grill manufacturer's instructions.

How do I light a pellet smoke tube?

Fill the tube with dry smoking fuel, ignite one end outdoors with a suitable torch, and follow the enclosed instructions until the fuel is established and smoldering. Position the hot tube safely inside the cooker.

Does the smoke tube need electricity?

No. Once the fuel is lit, the smoke tube works without a power cord or batteries.

Can I use the smoke tube for cold smoking cheese?

It can produce smoke in an unheated chamber, but the burning fuel still generates heat. Monitor chamber temperature carefully. Cold smoking perishable foods requires appropriate food-safety controls and is not made safe by the tube alone.

Which wood pellets are good for brisket, ribs, and poultry?

Oak and hickory are popular for beef; apple and cherry can complement pork; and milder fruitwoods or pecan often suit poultry. Choose food-safe smoking pellets intended for cooking.

How do I clean and store the smoke tube?

Allow it to cool completely, empty the ashes into a suitable noncombustible container, clear blocked perforations as needed, and store the dry tube away from moisture.
