About This Product

Add smoky flavor to your food with the Cast-Iron Smoker Box. Add your favorite wood chips to the box and place it directly on the grill grates. The ventilated box allows the grill to heat the ships and the smoke to fill the grill. This box helps prevent the wood chips from catching on fire. When you're done, simply dump out the ash and rinse out the box before your next smoking session.

Questions & Answers

Can it be used inside in stovetop smoker
ByNov 30, 2025
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Thank you for your question. The Cast Iron Grill Smoker Box is designed for use inside an outdoor grill, not indoors or on a stovetop. Using it indoors or on a stovetop can pose serious safety risks, including fire hazards and smoke ventilation issues. For best results and safety, please use the smoker box only as intended—inside a gas or charcoal grill outdoors.

    Does it have to be soaked or dry wood chips?

    Answer This Question

    Hi Ianne, Thank you for your question about the Cast Iron Grill Smoker Box. For best results, it’s recommended to use dry wood chips, as soaking can sometimes affect how they burn and produce smoke. However, personal preference can vary, so feel free to experiment to see what works best for you. If you have any other questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to us at 800-913-8999 or wecare@nexgrill.com. Happy Smoking!

              I don't see any reason that it can't. I like it came in very handy. I saw some imitators that did not seem as sturdy as this. It releases just the right amount of smoke to your meat. I still use charcoal, because, that is the only way to grill to me.

                  Chips catching on fire? I'm using this as directed -- first soaking wood chips in water, placing the box under the grates, on the heat distribution bars of a Weber gas grill. I do get plenty of smoke when cooking at a high temperature (400+ F), but I noticed that after a while, the wood chips catch on fire and flame up -- after the moisture has gone from the chips, I guess. I'm also not getting much flavor from the chips -- basically just a burned-smoke taste in the food, not very flavorful. What am I doing wrong? ..using too high a temperature? Should the chips actually be catching on fire? I'm a newbie to grilling... thanks for any advice!!!

                        I don't think so, since heat is required to make the wood chips smoke.

                        I added cherry and mesquite wood flavored chips when smoking a brisket and the flavor was amazing! Highly recommend this smoker box.

                        Remember to season
                        You certainly have to season this smoker box. It works wonderfully. Just throw your flavor of wood chips in it and your good to go on a propane grill. I love it. Just the right amount of smoke.

                          just works
                          put this on the flavor bars of the Weber Genesis gas grill and worked in about 15 minutes. I didn't soak the wood chunks, but you may want to soak wood chips if you want.

                            Lost my last one in a divorce and had to get a new one. This is the best way to add smoke to your any food on a grill without a real smoker. A must have.
