To the Product

Delivered on time. Well made and performed well. No Complaints at all.

I was excited about this and paid the extra because I read that cheaper ones warped with the heat. First time used ... it warped and now the lid won't fit properly. It still works but I'm disappointed.

To me, it seems that the best value to be gained from this kind of smoking box is when using a gas rather than a charcoal barbecue. With coals, you can add dampened smoking chips and aromats directly to the coals once they've died back to the embers stage. With gas, you get brilliant, easy to control outdoor cooking - that has none of the flavours of traditional, wood-based barbecue, so you have to get creative trying to find ways to add proper outdoorsy flavour. This box helps to add those flavours and allows you to neatly and effectively get creative with wooding, herbs and spices. We've tried this with Jack Daniels oak barrel flavoured wood chips, pine wood chippings, and fresh-picked rosemary and sage branches. We couldn't decide if using the smoking box made a difference versus using the aromats directly on the coals of our chargrill, but it appreciably ramped up the flavour with the gas grill.

there are no instructions. Do I put on the flames so the wood burns, or on the grating so the shavings just get hot? how much would 1/2 page of A4 paper cost? Richard Thompson

It was compact and finished well

Does what it says on the tin

There were no instructions with this, and as a novice 'smoker' I wasn't too sure what to do. Thank goodness for search engines as I soon found out the method for my barbecue - do also seek out what you need to know, there's many types of chips and whatnot to use and you might favour one sort over another. What I would say is to wait for the 'embers' to fully form before popping your smoker on - key to not just burning. The box does a good job, no buckling, and is actually now a very useful part of my barbecuing repertoire.

Used for the first time on Saturday and althoughiy done it's job the box has warpped and gone miss shape from the cock and is now not useable again total waste of money
