Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I never used a smoker box before and I suspect MOST OF YOU already know this information.
This review is meant to those few people who did not know, but would have figured it out on their own.
I'm trying to save them some time.
Bottom Line:
Do NOT fill to the top ... it will not smoke.
I would start with 1/2 cup of soaked wood chips.
Just enough to cover the bottom of the pan.
I would NOT use more wood than the lid turned upside down, would hold to the top.
I guess that would be about 1.5 cups
Note that 1/2 cup will give off a LOT MORE smoke than 1-1/2 cups but for a shorter time.
Thus you will have to experiment with how much wood to place into the container.
Note that more smoke will die out sooner but then again it may last long enough.
EXPERIMENT
Check out for yourself the difference between 1/2 cup and 1-1/2 cups.
I tried non-soaked (dry) chips and I tried soaked for 30 minutes.By the way, the chips I was using was from Char-Broil...
One other note is that this box has holes in the bottom of the pan and the corners of the pan are NOT CLOSED.
The metal is folded. Thus it will not hold water but is that really a bad thing. More inlet air for smoking maybe?
U P D A T E 6 - 1 7 - 2 0 1 0 :
I would purchase this item again ...
I grab ONE - TWO handfuls of Charboil wood chip ... throw them into the bottom of the pan (JUST BARELY COVERING THE BOTTOM ...
run tap water over them ... let the water drain thru the holes in the bottom and in the corners that are bent upwards.
This takes about one minute to drain and the holes are small enough that wood particles will NOT wind up in your drain pipes.
I place the box on the grill and start the grill for preheating.
In ten minutes the Weber Q 320 is up to 500 deg F and the chips are starting to smoke.
