First off I’m pretty new when it comes to using my Traeger and smoking. Overall it works well on its own, but I just wished for more smoke especially on warmer days. So I purchased this as it looked the best out of the ones I found on Amazon!I used it today smoking three racks of ribs. Simply filled it with pellets, laid it flat, and used a propane torch to light it on the open end. Let it burn for 10 seconds then blew it out. Immediately I noticed a much more substantial amount of smoke inside the Traeger itself. After 7 hours of cook time I found this was still emitting a ton of smoke.It made my ribs a hit with the family, and I noticed the largest smoke ring I’ve ever gotten before on ribs. Overall a 10/10 and will use every single time from now on.A friendly tip.. place it where it’s going to stay then light it. If you move it while it’s lit you may notice some pellets fall out and you will have to relight it.

Well made. Generates lots of smoke. I use it on my Weber gas grill and get great results.

I can’t say that I got the amount of burn time that it claimed it is capable of but that is most likely my fault. It’s a pretty nice little pellet holder and it does do a really good job of making extra smoke. Wish it was a little easier to fill and clean but that’s my only negative. It is pretty solidly built. Oh and just a friendly reminder……don’t forget it gets hot (also my fault)

It's great quality and makes a proper amount of smoke from pellets. I use it in my Traeger (my model does not have the "super smoke" feature), and this works perfectly for when I want/need more smokiness. Using a lighter is frustrating, but once I got the propane torch out, it went off easily (but that's not a ding on this product; just some FYI on getting pellets smoldering).

First time out. Easy to load, easy to lite, and burns awesome bellowing smoke.

good product

There's a very noticeable increase in smoke flavor from using this on my Traeger. I had a hard time keeping it lit the first few times I used it but here is my new routine that has worked well: Before I turn on the grill, I light the smoke tube and let it burn upright for 10 minutes. Then I lay it on its side and blast it with the blowtorch until the flame gets really big again. After 5 minutes of horizontal burning, I blow it out. Then I turned on the grill after the smoke stream is well established. It stayed lit the whole 4.5 hrs that I smoked tacos al pastor at 275. I am not aware of a way to end it early so if my meat is finished before the smoke tube is still going I just remove the meat, turn off the grill, and wait a few hours until the smoke tube has burned through all the pellets, then I open the lid to release all the built-up smoke in there. The next day I just take my shop vac to clean out the burned pellets from the tube.

Recommend you use pellets only!I packed the unit full with wood chips and it lasted about 30 min.The wood chips seem to burn too fast and not enough smoke!
