I know... I I said I would explain why NOT to use wet chips. I simply forgot to revisit that comment before I published this video. Using this method, starving the wood of air by making only one hole, makes the dry chips start smoking sooner and lasting just as long as the wet chips with lots of air. Not to mention, producing WAY more smoke. Every time I ever made a smoke bomb using wet chips and multiple holes in the packet, it would usually catch fire as soon as the chips dried out. These smoke packets are easily controlled by lowering the heat once they get to rolling. They usually last about 25-35 minutes. Great for steaks, chops, brats, chicken. Any food that takes less than 40 minutes to cook. But if you need more smoking time just add another packet over a high burner about 15 minutes into your cooking. That way it will start smoking before the one prior burns out. Happy Grilling. :-)

Thanks for not making this a 20 minute video. You rock.

I've always soaked my wood chips, decided to give this way a try today. Needless to say you have converted me. Wood chips started smoking faster, and smoked just as long as the soaked ones. Thanks a lot, great video!

King of the hill.... Hank Hill? I love it! I've tired this technique thanks to you and it changed grilling on my gas grill forever so thank you!

No ads, straight to the point. Thumbs up 👍 man!

Best method I've seen so far. Everyone usually says, more holes equals more smoke. Thanks for this!!

[billturner]

I like this method best of the ones I've seen. One hole produced a ton of smoke. Great job! Thanks

Your pouch is one of the few that actually works and is soo easy. Thank you!

This one is totally legit!! I just tried it yesterday night and omg it was a REAL SMOKE SHELL!

[petercapel]

After so many tries, I've finally found a sure way to get the smoke going. Great instructional video...thanks!

Wow! Thanks for the vid! Since I went from charcoal to gas, I've tried the cast iron boxes and foil packs with multiple holes. Neither method has worked for me. They either don't smoke or catch on fire. 1 hole in the middle and it works like a charm! Thanks!

Made 3 of these today while watching tv. Will have on hand when ready to grill. Thanks!

I do this same exact thing, but perhaps a bit smaller - just depends on how much smoke you want. Sometimes you can use a big one of this size more than once - this is actually why I started making smaller ones. Been doing this for years - on my 25 year old CharBroil no less! And, yes, water soaked chips are unnecessary due to the use of a small hole to starve oxygen and prevent full ignition - this is why you have to make the edges air tight too. Things cook fast on a gas grill - that's the whole point, so while wet chips may work they also take longer because they basically have to dry back out first. If your chips do catch fire, not that critical - you'll just lose some smoke time. It depends on what I'm grilling. Steaks - usually at med-high heat for only about 2-4 mins per side depending on thickness. Chicken and pork will be longer. Hot dogs - I usually don't bother since they cook so fast. Ribs, pork butts, chicken leg quarters, turkeys, pork loins, briskets - well...those go in my Cookshack smoker, low and slow, not the grill.

Followed fairly verbatim - Saved me big time! it worked as described - SAVE for the ingenious one I tried with multiple holes!!! ( yeah Smoked out in 5 minutes flat... ) I know all you Pit-Masters are laughing at me right now; but you've been at it since you were 12.... I am that 12 year old starting a little later in life !!

Nice video! Thanks for taking the time to make the video. Excellent!

[d.r.henrysr.]

Wow!!! I came across your video and got excited because I have the exact same gas grill and was wondering how could I get smoke and you e solved that for me. Thank you very much. 🙏

[loganshotrodx]

I did it, it works. No BS, thanks for the tip!

[mwoexcu]

This is the nuts, thank you, it creates so much smoke, give it time to smoke and away you go

[daypriest]

New to using chips, but discovered quickly that the idea of poking holes (note plural) has resulted in fire every time. Was going to try a single hole and here you are. Will give it a go next time.

Hello 👋🏻 from Toronto, Ontario Canada 🍁 🇨🇦 Great tip on the making and using a smoke bomb!
It was more helpful, why dry and not wet, done up in text, this way I can go back and read over again. Also showing it can be used for burgers and sausages makes a huge difference for novices like me! Thanks again!
