[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4321886, member: 15054"] 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 [MEDIA=youtube]UYUMaKsbT18[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
