Best Pellet Tube Smokers

Lanney makes some of the best pellet tube smokers on the market, and this one is no exception. Its hexagonal shape and mesh-like structure ensure smoke billows out in a way that smokes your food evenly while keeping the tube from rolling out of place.

It allows air in, which helps produce more smoke and create more billowing, and allows the pellets to remain lit and burning. You can use a variety of wood flavors to infuse your meats, cheeses, and vegetables with the smoky flavor of your choosing.

Another maker of hexagonal stainless steel smoker tubes, Lizzq finds itself on multiple “best of” lists because they make a quality product that not only smokes your food well but also because it works on any grill and in any smoker.

Its design allows for up to five hours of smoking time. You can use wood chips or pellets with a variety of flavors, so you can smoke your food to the perfect taste for you and your family and friends.

Lizzq’s smoker tube is excellent for cold-smoking cheese, particularly on a pellet grill. Pellet grills burn hotter than a smoking tube does, though, so to use these two products for double the smoky flavor, you have to monitor your pellet grill to keep it at a low temperature.

As long as you’re willing to do that, though, Lizzq’s tube is excellent for this use.

For anyone who’s seriously thought about turning their grill into a smoker, Carpathen’s pellet tube smoker should work well. You’re best off using it with pellets instead of wood chips, but you get a great flavor infusion of flavor with this.

It’s a rectangular smoker, so you might not get the same evenness that you get with hexagonal smokers. On the upside, though, you do get more stability. It can’t roll unless you push it or tilt your grill, so it’ll stay in place.

Best of all, if you’re not happy with this pellet tube smoker, you can get your money back, no questions asked.

Skoo is a well-known smoker manufacturer, including pellet smoker grills. They make a nice tube smoker as well, made of stainless steel and 12 inches long to work with almost any size grill.

You get up to five hours of billowing smoke, not just wafting or drifting smoke, and it will work with both pellets and wood chips. All you have to do is fill it with chips or pellets from one end and light it. The other end is closed, so the chips don’t fall out.

The hexagonal shape is prone to some rolling, but not nearly to the degree that cylindrical smoking tubes are. It’s a happy medium between a rectangular box and a cylinder when it comes to how evenly it smokes your food.

A-Maz-N makes quite possibly one of the most versatile tube smokers on the market. This oval smoker tube expands from 12 inches to 18 inches, meaning you can use it on unusually large grills and still get good smoke around the edges, but it’s still small enough to fit normal grills.

It only produces smoke for four hours in its 12-inch position. In its 18-inch position, though, it produces smoke for as long as six hours. So the amount of time it produces smoke depends on how long you make it.

Its oval design is meant to keep it from rolling around, but that doesn’t work as well as having physical sides like rectangular and hexagonal tubes do. You do, however, get very even smoking thanks to the oval shape.

Dimeshy’s pellet smoker tube offers better stability than other smoking tubes because of its rectangular shape. It produces smoke that makes it a great choice for cold smoking, although it will work on most grills for hot smoking, too.

Merely fill it with pellets or chips, light the open end, let it burn for three to five minutes, and then blow it out. At that point, the pellets or chips should be smoldering, and smoke should be billowing well enough for you to smoke your food.

You can use a wood ball with it as well, although pellets will work a lot better. And since it’s 12 inches long, it works in most standard-sized grills. You can even use it in smaller Weber grills, although the tiny grills you put on your balcony might be too small.

This is a box, not a tube per se, but we included it on our list of the best pellet tube smokers because it works the same way, and it does its job well. Its stainless steel construction gives it the look of a pencil box that has a top with holes in it.

Because it’s bigger than pellet tube smokers, and it’s a box, it sits firmly in your grill, so you don’t have to worry about it moving or rolling unless you decide to shake your grill around. And, because it’s larger than a tube smoker, you can create unique, mixed flavors of your choosing.

Smoke boxes are kind of tricky because there’s a very fine and delicate line between too many wood chips and not enough. Put too many in, and it doesn’t light properly, so it doesn’t smoke properly. Put in too few, and it’ll produce excellent smoke, but won’t produce it for very long.

This, too, is a smoker box and not a tube. However, like the Charcoal Companion smoker box, we felt this deserved a mention on our best pellet smoker tubes list because it’s a great accessory for your grill.

It’s made from the same mesh-like, stainless steel material as A-Maze-N’s extendable smoking tube, but it smokes for up to 12 hours and even works for things like salt if you like smoky-tasting salt. While its smoking time will vary depending on the chips or pellets you use, it smokes for a lot longer than standard tubes.

These have no tops on them, so you can fill them loosely up to the top with pellets, wood chips, or sawdust. They have excellent airflow, so they don’t burn out easily unless you’re using them on a grill with poor airflow.

This pellet smoker tube is a hexagonal tube that spreads smoke evenly throughout your grill. As a 12-inch tube, it works with most grills but won’t work with the largest grills, and won’t roll around with the slightest jostle as a cylindrical tube smoker will.

You can use this tube to smoke nuts, salt, and veggies in addition to meats, cheeses, and fish, giving you versatility with smoked food that you don’t get with other smokers. You can even get a good smoky flavor in your burgers and hot dogs if you want.
