Wanted to try smoked ribs but didnt want to invest in a smoker. Ran across a smoker tube which is a stainless tube with lots of holes in it. Fill with pellets, light it up then blow out and smoke on a gas grill. Lasts about 4hrs.
First up smoked ribs using apple pellets. Came out great. Tried smoked ribeye steak but cut the smoke time to an hour then continued to internal 120 degrees and reverse sear in cast iron using butter, touch of Old Bay and garlic. Melt in your mouth and flavor excellent.
Couple weeks ago found bulk bacon $20 for a 10lb box. Smoking up a pound over 200 degrees for 2hrs or so.
Those smoke tubes work great and i got mine at WalMart.
