Thank you all for your feedback, I know I screwed it up. Part 2 is now live and you can check it out here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mLqmgMeev7e7cZs.html

You did not use the product correctly.

Props for not taking this down. People are knocking you for doing it wrong, but smoking is learning.

It’s not suppose to stay on fire. You let it burn for 5-10 minutes and then blow it out. You want smoke not fire. Mine last about 5 hours (12inch tube)

I have an AmaznTube. You have to light these with a torch. Let it burn for a few minutes, then blow it out. I get 2.5 hours with the smallest one they make! I use it to smoke cheese, and spices with. I can see using this next to gas or charcoal to get smoke. This thing puts out lots of smoke!

For the salmon on the pellet smoker, 30 minutes at what temp?

At least I am not the only one who has struggled with these tubes. I appreciate you leaving your mistake online for everyone to learn from.

Appreciate your candor! It's a great product.

Does it have to be pellets? Can I use the wood chips?

Nice review. Just found your channel and subbed. I’ve been looking to add one of these tubes to my Pellet cooking for a little more smoke flavor. I was planning on doing a review on one of these tubes so thanks for sharing.

For y'all that are reading these comments. Don't listen to the "Don't buy one of these." Get yourself one, they're super cheap. It's supposed to be blown out to smolder and create smoke. That's how you get it to last the rated smoke time.

Both ways of cooking the salmon look great and I'm not crazy about salmon. I see I am not the only one that kept thinking "blow out the flame" but I see you learned to do that. I cooked BBQ chicken on a charcoal grill last night using a Kona Pellet Tube for the first time. I mixed Traeger hard wood blend pellets with apple wood chips. Great smoke flavor! To start it I just laid it across the grill on top of the flame while starting the charcoal then moved it aside.

I use the tube but use a small propane torch to light. I also mix flavor pellets and wood chips together.

Have you tried putting the salmon on cedar planks soaked in white wine seasoned the way you like. Not a bad technique must say. Definitely like your different recipes.

Yup. Have to blow it out once you have enough coals going. It should smolder for 4 hours. But I still like the pellet smoker better. Less fussy

I can't believe you gave such a great product such a bad review. They work GREAT and everyone with a pellet smoker uses them! Best accessory I have bought to date to compliment my pellet smoker. Anyone that has researched any smoke tube knows you light it with a torch and let it sit burning upright for 10 minutes then blow out any flames and lay it down in the smoker. Filled gives you 4-5 hrs of good smoke and they are perfect for cold smoking cheese .

Harleys, Coors light and the Raiders 😭

What I wanna know is what else do you smoke bro ? 😁👍. And double the 👍 . For leaving this up after finding out you used it wrong. You're a straight up dude man. Smoke one for me 😁

you may not belive it, but it's not the pellets themselves that burn..it's the smoke. and you didn't blow out the flame to let it smolder and smoke up. try it again but blown it out.

Do you work for Cal Trans ?

Knucklehead didn't blow it out, just left it burning...of course it would burn thru wood without adding smoke flaovor! Light them with a torch (creme brulee works great), then blow it out after a few minutes, they work awesome.

Did you blow out the flame in the tube so the pellets smolder that's where the smoke comes from

Cool motorcycle is it a Honda?

Thanks mate saved me the $$$

You are to blow out the flames. Use it correctly before to knock it.

You're supposed to blow out the flame from the tube smoker so you get the smoke coming out. That is why it burnt through the pellets so fast and you didn't get any smoke. Trial and error! Smoke on brother👍

at least im not the only one that uses foil as well

You should also just smoke the fish lightly with no heat then apply spices and cook

friend/co-worker with Codys mom...

There's a time to make KZfaq videos, and a time to WATCH KZfaq videos.

You are supposed to BLOW OUT THE FLAMES after 10min. 😆 It will burn for close to 6 hours! UPDATE - Updated review and video of proper use here - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mLqmgMeev7e7cZs.html

Where is part 2?

After the tube burns for 10 min blow the flames out so it starts smoking.

Great Video

Dude, you're supposed to blow out the flame after 8-10 min. It's a smoke tube, not a fire tube. I have one and it puts out a ton of smoke when used correctly.

Does it suck? Nope but you did!

There’s another way to use this... the correct way.

Crown Royal and coors, I’m subscribing

the mistake you made is you let the pellets burn in the tube, you should make sure the fire goes out and the pellets should smolder. you will get a longer smoke out of it.

He states in the beginning of the video that the tube came with no instructions, so yes he used it wrong, he admitted it at the start. He also said there is a part 2 and he thinks he figured it out. Give him a break!

Dam Sam, DON’T EVER soak chips unless you want to add steam & unnecessary time to your cook 🥵😉

I have a tube and I use it on my pellet grill for additional smoke when I make jerky. It will burn about 8 hrs. Look on KZfaq for lighting. Do it with a heat gun. Only use a gas grill for rib eyes or burgers. Really like your videos. Bill S.

Yeah you'll have much better luck lighting the tube with a propane torch . Also as mentioned you won't get much smoke if the pellets are blazing . The tubes work well with proper technique . Good video though .

Your not supposed to let it burn a open flame, it's called smoking pellets for a reason. Much like lighting a punk or incense get it started then blow it out and then let it smoke

3:45 forgot to take off the sticker

Just an FYI, pellets in the tube have to smolder, not burn like a meth lab. Not a fair comparison? .... not even a comparison.

Should have done more research into how to use first before bad commenting.

You did it wrong, don’t burn it light it standing upright (easy with torch) let the top burn upright for ten minutes blow it out and lay it down. It has to smolder and make smoke can’t do that it it’s burning

User error

Cool channel. Well I was gonna reply that after a few minutes you have to blow it out and let it smoke but I saw other comments about that already. Anyhow I used them before and they work pretty good. Here is a video using a tray version. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fLh_qblirridgIE.html

You used it completely wrong! It's well worth 10$

the tube is supposed to "smoke" after you light it up ,no flame !!, not be on fire....you have no idea why the "smoker" it failed? maybe you need to watch youtube videos first to do a proper review !

It's a smoke tube, not a fire tube! Blow out the flame after the pellets or wood chips have started! It will provide "SMOKE" for up to 6 hours when used correctly. You should understand how a product works or read the instructions before posting a video and negative review on it!!!

You are an adult, you don’t have to drink coors.

You didn't have smoke cause you didn't blow the flame out. You smoker has smoke cause there wasn't any flame.

Surprised you haven't taken this video down. It makes you look dumb when you don't even know how to use the product. It's a smoker tube, not a burner tube.

Ok, "here's a review of this smoking tube that is wrong, but it's still valid because I talk about something completely different." ??????????????????????????

I never listen to a drunk

you are supposed to blow out the tube you are getting no or little smoke this is not the proper way to use this

Sierra Nevada...Great Beer!!!! Raiders...Pile of shit!!! can't win them all...

Read the directions, blow that fire out and it will last for hours. You should delete this video and try this again.
