          A:  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.

              Q: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!!!

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

                    A:  I have used both in this smoker box but would recommend staying with the wood chips.

                    by|Jul 28, 2023

                      A:  Yes! As long as you give them enough time to soak the pellets should work just as fine!

                          A:  Probably it’s heavy cast iron. They will need to be soaked first.

                          A:  Yes you can but I foun that this iron box takes a long time to heat up I got a aluminum one that actually works better.

                          A:  Set it directly on top of the burners and turn it on low. Let the chips smolder and smoke. Be patient!

                          by|Jul 14, 2020

                          A:  Yes. Soak the wood chips. Put smoker box on top of flavorizer bars (or equivalent, depending on your grill). Works great!

                              Q:I had to purchase this as my electric smoker shot craps on me and I had a couple of chickens waiting in the fridge. I tried both dry and wet wood chips, but the smoke was not great. I was using my gas grill with this over the heat and the chickens off to the side. Kept a stable temp of about 275.

                              A:  Hi WombatSTL, this is Marianne on behalf of Nexgrill. I am sorry to hear it took that long to smoke. Its recommended to smoke the wood chips for a minimum of 1 hour and keep them moist to create the steam or smoking. Its also recommended to cook on a low to medium heat so it does take time for the box to heat up. have a good day and happy grilling !!

                                A:  Sounds like you've done it all. You may have to add more chips as you go.
