This smoking tube is just an accessory to your outdoor cooker (gas grill etc) it produces no heat of its own only smoke. You fill it with wood chips or wood pellets of your liking. You place it in with the chicken or whatever meat you are cooking to add smoked flavor.

You could do it a couple of ways. Cold smoke it for a few hours then cook as normal checking internal temp. Or put it in the BBQ With the maze-n Tube going at the same time. The first method will give you a smokier taste as cold meat excepts it better. But both ways will be great. Its a great product I use it everytime I BBQ. John

The tube is just an accessory that adds the smoked flavor to any meat you are cooking on your gas grille or cooker. It does not add heat only smoke to your meat of choice. You fill the tube with wood chips or pellets of your liking. Don't really care for mesquite by itself but applewood, pecan, and oak are good. You can use mesquite mixed with one or two of the above woods are be ok.

I use it for fish fillets,especially salmon. Have smoked cheese too,haven't tried chicken yet but sure it would work, could smoke nuts too. I would not try anything really big like a whole chicken or roast , would take too long. I bought it primarily for fish

I used this at my shop to grill chicken. It has to have the water or it will smoke up big time. It doesn't diminish heat.

You have to use the biscuit. The burner is inside the smoker and it will auto feed the biscuits

it depends on how big the fire is and how low you have the spit. I had it on there for about an hour and fifteen min. But I couldn't get the chickn to rotate with the spit correctly so I left it up high and kept it on a while. You could probably do it in 15 min. If you put it closer to the fire and got the chicken secure. I would recommend you use an instant read thermometer. When I made my chicken it was fully cooked but he meat was so juicy that it was actually hard to tell. I neve knew that chicken could be that chicken could be that juicy.

You can put on a large roaster. A turkey would be too large. The bird sits on top and the flavors are infused right into the chicken. This is used instead of an actual beer can so it is healthier. The chicken comes out so moist.

I start fire with charcoal. I soak wood in water overnight and cook using wood. I have enjoyed my smoker. It takes 8-10 hours for Boston butts to get tender but it is well worth the time. Also have smoked chicken. Awesome!

You can roast or bake in the oven. The smoking needs to happen on the stove top.

Cook at low temp (200-235) with good pellets (they should smell strongly of wood in the bag - if not they are too old). You should have all the smokey flavor you want....

Getting it to smoke is easy but it also depends on how you use it. If you are using charcoal than soak the wood chips for 30 minutes - 5 hours before smoking and then put them over top hot coals. If you are using propane then just put the wood chips in your pan above the flame and start with the flame on high until they start to smoke then turn it down before adding meet. According to some people, the best kind of smoke is one that you cannot even see and then others say if the smoker isn't billowing than you are not doing it right. I find that it works either way. Mine usually billows a lot of smoke at first and then after an hour or so tappers way down. Hope this helps Getting it to smoke is easy but it also depends on how you use it.

I light the pellets with a simple hardware store torch for several (3-5) minutes making sure they are burning well. I usually do this outside the smoker, and once I'm sure they are well ignited, I use a glove hand to place the tube in the smoker locating it so it is near a source of air.

I have not smoked a turkey yet, but plan to. This little Traeger is wonderful. Have done baby back ribs, brauts, chicken halves and steelhead fish. Just follow the directions.

Yes for sure, I smoked a 18 pounder last Christmas it was amazing, super juicy too, I did brine it in vegetable stock and seasonings for about a day and it took like 7 hours to smoke.
