Carpathen Smoke Tube for Pellet Smoker - Cold Smoker Generator Tube for Gas Grill, Electric, Charcoal - Billows 5 Hours of Cold Smoke Ideal for Smoking Cheese, Fish, Pork, Beef, Nuts - Stainless Steel

Used Carpathen Pellet Smoker Tube for first time this weekend. Smoked ribs and a turkey breast on propane smoker and couldn’t be any happier. Using the tube with pellets is so much easier than soaking chips or chunks. With tube it’s light it and forget it as I wasn’t having to opening up smoker to check if I needed to add more wood. I also like the fact that the smoke is consistent with no flare ups or times where no smoke. Also, noticed that using pellets provide a much “cleaner” smoke taste, no bitterness that sometimes happens. Time wise I got over five hours of smoke from the tube. I feel this is an excellent product, that works great and at less cost than the competitors. Looking forward to continued usage.

Great overall experience! The product came very well packaged and included a pouch and a few e-books (emailed). The Smoke Tube itself was manufactured from 22 gage stainless steel and resistance welded together. Very sturdy construction which I expect will last for years.First use was to cold smoke some cheese, which turned out well. The pellet smoker performed as described and without incident. I expect it to work well with any smoking process. A lot cheaper than buying a pellet smoker grill.Very happy with the product.The customer service was excellent!Would not hesitate to purchase additional Carpathen products in the future.

Have used gas grills primarily for 20 yrs now, and always struggled with producing smoke. I found this by accident, and thought what the heck. I have used MULTIPLE smoke boxes to fit below the grates, alum foil contraptions, you name it, and all have been mostly worthless.For smoking, the biggest issue is temp, and then smoke volume right behind it. The two are inseparable.So, most of my meats are cooked between 225-250, primarily because that's the very lowest my grill will get to. I have used this several times now, and it produces a LOT of smoke, primarily a function of the pellets vs wood chips and chunks which are not really feasible outside of a stick grill or charcoal.Anyway, after several uses, I would note the following:- this will raise your grill temp approx. 20-25 degrees, thus meat will be cooking higher than desired temp- in multiple uses, a very packed tube was good for 3.5 hours, then gone; I did one smoke for 6 hours, so I took pliers and removed the tube, washed it out, refilled and refired it up. Took 15 min and good to go again- if you are going to do long smokes, save the time and trouble and buy two of these, replace the first when its empty vs doing what I did- In addition to meat, I smoked some poblanos; everything came out very nicely done, so I would definitely use again on vegies, as well as wings, brats and similar foods.- BTW, because you fire it off with a torch, I was concerned about quality, and handling it once the pellets are lit. Not an issue in my experience, easy to start, and wearing a leather glove, easy to handle when placing after starting or removing to refill if thats the option you go with. Pliers also work well but with a hose nearby, you can refill in a jiffyOverall I would recommend for gas grill users that want to produce lots of smoke with minimal effort

I received my Carpathen Smoke Tube in time to smoke some Mozzarella cheese for a pizza recipe that demands it. To purchase already smoked mozzarella cheese is not an easy task in the e-market nor at stores. At first, I was in doubt the tube will manage the job but man, tell me about it. I was completely wrong in my appreciation. This little thing is incredibly amazing.I followed the instructions to light it up and in 10 minutes I had a non stop smoke column. I placed the tube inside my grill and after 2 hours guess what, I had two mozzarella cheese blocks nicely smoked.I read that home smoked cheese must be wrapped and store in the fridge for al least a week to soften the smoky flavor but when these were going to be used melted in a wood fire pizza oven I considered that wait unnecessary. End of story, the pizza was a full success thanks to the amazing work done by this little tube.It is made of high quality stainless steel that will last for years to come.I did not filled it up complete, just to 3/4 of his capacity. With that amount of Apple wood pellets it smoked for more than three hours. When after two hours I removed the cheese from the grill, the smoker kept going for 1.5 more hours.FANTASTIC device. I HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS SMOKER. don't spend your hard earning money in anything else but this. The price is so good that somebody could think the thing is a crap. NO, IT IS NOT A CRAP!, it's a high quality smoker.I'm a fan of reading reviews but not a fan of writing reviews. In this case I am making an exception. I could keep writing more and more considering how amazed I was with this thing but I may sound boring and repetitive. If you want to smoke from a tiny little piece of cheese till a full cow, go for it, don't think it twice.Just warn your wife, kids and anybody else who leaves in your house that you yourself, your hair, your hands and arms, your clothes, THE WHOLE OF YOU! will get smoked same as whatever stuff you dropped inside the grill. In my case, my wife loves to eat smoky flavor food so, that night, when I finished smoking the cheese and baked and ate the wonderful pizzas, after having a long late shower, l went to sleep at a coach downstairs to avoid been bitten by my wife. (I'm joking). Next day in the morning, I was still smelling smoked.
