Smoking Pellet Tips & Tricks
Pellets smoke when they are starved for oxygen. That’s why they should be placed in a foil pouch or other fire proof container that limits air supply.
When making a foil smoking pouch, punch a hole in only one side if the pouch. A toothpick-size hole is large enough.
If you have only regular household foil available, simply make the pouch from a double thickness of foil.
For evenly flavoured smoking of all the food you are cooking, place the smoker box or foil pouch to one side of the fire or heat source, not directly under the food.
If your BBQ is equipped with a smoker box, you can restrict air supply to the tray of pellets by placing a sheet of foil over it.
For easy cleaning after cooking, try placing a foil pouch of pellets inside the smoker box.
