Real World Performance and Day to Day Use
In real day to day use, this smoker box is built to make smoke flavour easier to add during normal barbecuing. One of the biggest buying worries with smoking accessories is whether they complicate the whole grill setup, but this one is designed to work by simply adding wood chips and placing the box directly over the flame. The hinged lid makes topping up chips quicker, which helps during longer cooks, and the large capacity box is intended to reduce how often you need to refill it. The product details also state that it is made from high quality steel and is designed to avoid the warping issues found with many cheaper smoker boxes.
