S1LVER bmw: Cuisinart CSB-156 Wood Chip Smoker Box - well made, heavy duty with a good fitting removable lid. It had a little too much airflow due to the amount of holes on top, but depending upon use type this might not be an issue. I am using it with a gas grill and wanted it to smoke even when using high heat, I folded a piece of aluminum foil, punched 4 holes in it and put this on top of the wood chips then put the lid back on. Works great, now I have smoldering smoke instead of just flames and no smoke. I use it with Jack Daniel’s wood chips since I love the smell of them even before they smoke and that much more after.

Paco Hernandez: Este artículo lo compre para ahumar la carne en mi asador, esta fabricado en acero inoxidable y tiene un tamaño conveniente para un asador pequeño. Estoy muy contento con el porque es bastante robusto y fácil de limpiar. No tengo que preocuparme de que se aplaste con el carbón o que se caiga y se deforme. Tiene dos tapas del mismo material en los extremos que facilita introducir la madera o bien sacar las cenizas que queden sin batallar.

Quizá esta por demás decir esto pero al ser metálico se calienta así que no le agarren confianza y lo manipulen con la mano cuando se haya expuesto al calor por que se pueden quemar. Creo que es una buena compra y sirve muy bien para agregar ese delicioso sabor ahumado a la carne yo lo estrené con unas costillitas BBQ y quedaron muy bien.

chris perkin: Cheap and cheerful, which is what I wanted. It does the trick (I am using it in a rebuilt electric smoker so it rests right on the heating element) which means it smokes rather than bursts into flame. So the airholes design is good. Because it is thin steel the lid gets a bit stiff to open and close after a few uses but it's not really that much of a problem. Got to be the cheapest stainless smoker box on the market so on that basis I have no complaints

MasterSlimes: I'm not convinced the smoke quality is better after it passes through the "cuisinart" logo. This box is made of thin metal, but sturdy. It holds wood chips , and after a good 10 minutes produces some great smoke on a charcoal BBQ. I actually own a dedicated smoker, but use this on charcoal as a quick smoke for simple foods, like burgers. Its a great show off piece. I'm glad I bought it. Not sure if it would work wall on a propane BBQ...but we all know a propane BBQ is really just a propane cooker, as it never makes quality BBQ food.

Jorge Figueiredo: With all of my friends doing smoked meats, I felt inadequate and sad. I don't have the room (nor do I have the funds) to purchase a pellet smoker. A friend suggested this wonderful device to me and I have to say that it's pretty amazing!

It's durable and simple, and when filled with soaked wood chips, imparts a wonderful smoky flavour to all of my barbecued food! It does take up a little real-estate on the grill - but it's definitely worth it (especially for the price)!

DanC: Smoking meats is really an art form. I have friends that have turned it into a lifelong hobby with considerable investment. I've had the pleasure of enjoying the results of their labor but for me it's just too much work. I like this little smoker box because of the size and simplicity of using it. We have a small family and I do not possess the skills, time or patience to invest into a large smoker. This allows me to enjoy small portions of smoked meats with just my grill and some wood chips making the process quick and affordable. It's the best of both worlds if your situation is similar.
Keeping it simple, just load the box with your desired wood chips and place it on the grill when you light it up. By the time the grill is preheated you'll be seeing smoke coming from the box and your ready to grill up some lightly smoked chicken, pork or fish along with some veggies. Our first try was with chicken quarters and corn on the cob. It was delicious to say the least but again the smoky flavor was light and for us that was perfect. You'll have to experiment with different chips and or add a 2nd box to your grill to get the desired level of smoky flavor that pleases you. If you set...

Mitymom: this item works as expected, but much of what I grill only takes minutes (steak and sausage) so I don't bother soaking the wood chips.

I use a combination of  Smokehouse Products All Natural Flavored Wood Smoking Chips- Mesquite  which are shaved and  Weber 17103 Mesquite Wood Chips, 3-Pound  which are nice size chips. About a handful of each. I start them on the grill while I'm warming it up and all 5 burners are on high, for about 5 minutes, then move it off to the side. By that time the chips are smoking really well. I then turn my burners down to low and grill my steak. I like a nice medium rare (on the redish side) so 3 minutes on each side of the steak and it's done.

The amount of wood chips is perfect for this time frame and the steak is perfect and has a light smoky flavor.

10-2-Go: I bought this Cuisinart CSB-156 Wood Chip Smoker Box, along with a bag of Char-Broil Wood Chips, to use with my new Stok Gridiron Portable Gas Grill. The small size of the Smoker Box was a must-have feature, since my grill is not a large one. I had previously grilled steaks and chicken, which both turned out delicious, but I read that a smoker box really improved grilled foods. So, I came home from work and threw a handful of wood chips into water to soak for 30 minutes while I put some rice on to cook and seasoned some boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Meanwhile, I fired up the grill and preheated it for 15 minutes. Then, I put the Smoker Box (with the drained the Wood Chips in it) onto the grill grate and closed the grill lid, allowing it to heat up for a few minutes (five or ten--I didn't really time it). When smoke started to come out of the Smoker Box holes, I added the chicken breasts, closed the lid, and grilled for a few minutes per side. Served the chicken with rice and a crisp salad. The family said it was the best chicken I had ever grilled. The neighbors peeked over the fence to see what smelled so good. When I was done, the box cleaned up easily to almost new. Using...
