Napoleon PRO Stainless Steel Grill Smoker Pipe, Adds Smoke Flavour to BBQ, Fill with Wood Chips or Pellets for Smoking on a BBQ

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this smoker tube free as part of the tester team. The tube is well made heavy gauge stainless steel. I used it to smoke some pork belly burnt ends. I normally use my pellet smoker for smoking, but this tube let me use my Napoleon. I used Cherry chips and 2 water bowls. The pork came out great. I did notice that the chips burned out quicker than I thought they would, but I had them over a burner that was on full tilt so I could create an indirect heat scenario. I think next time I'll split with two burners on a lower temp and that should allow the chips to last longer. Also, the end cap did not want to come off the tube immediately after I took it off the burner. It needed to cool for a couple minutes before I could get the cap off to reload the chips (metal expansion due to heat?). I'll definitely do this again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I finally received the smoker pipe and i love it. So easy to use and small enough that it doesn't take up much space on my grill.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got the chance to use the Napoleon PRO Stainless Steel Smoker Pipe (#67011) along with Napoleon's Cherry Wood Chips (#67005). When I received the smoker my first thought was “Wow, this is small.” However, when I slid it out of the box, I realized that I was holding a professional grade product – beautifully crafted stainless steel with finished edges with well-fitting caps. I use some type of smoke with almost everything I grill. For years I relied on the old metal box that sits on top of the burners and sheds flakes of rusty metal. I felt a little embarrassed placing this stainless steel beauty on the same grill. I don’t always soak my wood chips in advance – I often forget or just decide to grill with no advanced planning. Using unsoaked chips is great for burgers or a quick turn at the grill since they come up fast and don’t need to last long. Today I was slow cooking a brisket for 5 hours and wanted the staying power. I soaked the chips overnight and was delighted with how long they lasted. I refilled the smoker pipe after about 3 hours and there were still some chips remaining. The smoker pipe produced a nice steady stream of smoke instead of the usually heavy cloud that comes from other smokers once they get going. To refill I just pulled it out with tongs, let it cool several minutes, refilled it and returned it to the grill. I found the smoker top notch – the ”Pro” in the name is well deserved. The woodchips performed extremely well and gave off a wonderful fragrance. Our guests even commented on how great the grill smelled. Cleanup was a breeze – just uncap it and shake it out once completely cooled. I has used indirect cooking so there were not drips on the smoker tube but the stainless steel would make it a breeze to clean.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I signed up for the Napolean tester team program, and the smoker tune and cherry wood chips are the first items I have been asked to review. I have never smoked anything before, so this was the perfect opportunity to try it. I made pork back ribs on my Napoleon gas grill, and they turned out quite well I think.

I received the product free from Napoleon for testing purposes as selected by the Tester Team. I used the smoker pipe to do a little brisket roast on the bbq. I filled it with Napoleon Cherry Wood chips. I stuck it between the burner and the burner cover next to it. Heated it up until smoke came out and then placed food on the grill. Went back to check about 25 minutes later, and there wasn't much smoke coming out. Picked it up and noticed the wood chips inside were almost gone. Had to refill pipe about 3 times. Since it was a small roast it only took about 2.5hrs. There wasn't much of a smoke taste after all said and done. I may have to try a different way for it to sit in the grill maybe so it gets fully exposed to flame and really make smoke. Downside is having to keep filling pipe up and opening grill lid to make sure it is smoking.
