Ok so i got a 30" masterbuilt electric smoker that is digital and insulated.
40 bucks.
I was not getting enough smoke from my oak wood pieces. in fact near zero.
I googled smoke tube and homemade smoke tube.
I whittled smaller pieces from my oak board. a bit better but not great.
ALLLLRIGHTY THEN.
I remember all the wood chips I get from drilling holes in wood.
I began drilling 3/8" holes and chips getting flung.
I decided that was slow and I got a 1" paddle bit.
Wow the chips get flung everywhere but many more of them and a nice size.
Here is what I did.
I took a plastic cup and cut the bottom out of it and placed the cup on the board and held it down while I drilled a hole in the wood with the paddle bit right in the cup.
Excellent I held all my chips in one spot.
Those smaller chips are doing much better on making smoke.
I did light the end of the stack of them with a propane torch.
This guy made a great pellet smoker basket. For $1
