 SMOKER TUBE-EX

The A-MAZE-N SMOKER TUBE-EX adds wood smoke flavor to any meat, 

vegetable or cheese – Works on outdoor grills or smokers. Follow the simple 

directions below to get the most out of your A-MAZE-N SMOKER TUBE-EX – 

and the best in unbelievable wood smoke flavor.

1. Fill.

  

Expand or collapse the TUBE-EX to the desired length before 

filling. Hold the TUBE-EX with the open end facing up and fill  

with A-MAZE-N Pellets, 1” from the top. (Other pellets may  

be used, but results may vary.)

2. light.

  

  Set your TUBE-EX horizontally on a level surface or grates. With  

a Propane Torch on low, light pellets through the open end for  

45 seconds. A small flame will appear on top of the pellets.  

Allow this flame to burn for 10 minutes.

 

You can softly blow  

on the embers to make sure it’s burning well but 

DO NOT  

RUSH THIS STEP!

  

 Optional starting method for using Gel Alcohol 

(available on  

our website)

:

 

Squeeze a liberal amount of gel alcohol over the 

pellets just inside the opened end. Start gel alcohol with  

lighter or match to ignite. 

3. Smoke.

   After 

allowing your pellets to burn for 10 minutes 

and they  

are burning well, blow the flame out. Make sure that the  

TUBE-EX is placed in your smoker/grill, in an area that will  

have good ventilation. 

Use caution when handling the unit,  

as the metal can be hot! 

Duration of smoke will depend on the pellets used, heat, draft and turbulence inside  
your smoker or grill.
Need less smoke? Pack the tube half full with pellets, however, you may get less burn time.

  Direct heat from an electric element, gas burner, charcoal or burning 

wood can reduce the burn time. 

DO NOT PLACE DIRECTLY ABOVE 

OR ADJACENT TO A HEAT SOURCE OR OPEN FLAME.

 Doing so 

can cause the pellets to ignite, and cause damage to your smoker. If 
using the A-MAZE-N SMOKER with heat, you may need to fabricate 
a small heat shield to protect it from direct heat. This will slow the 
burning process, by deflecting the radiant heat and turbulence 
away from the A-MAZE-N SMOKER. Each smoker/grill is different, 
so you may have to try different locations, in order to get the best 
performance out of your A-MAZE-N SMOKER.

   Intake & exhaust vents should be wide open to start, and adjusted to 

produce “Thin Blue Smoke.”

  Do not use water in the water pan. Additional moisture can affect  

the burning process. If water is necessary, we suggest you use a  
small disposable foil pan, filled with water, on a rack above the 
A-MAZE-N SMOKER.

   Arrange your meat so juices won’t drip onto the A-MAZE-N SMOKER, 

or protect it with a drip pan above.

  Store your pellets in a cool dry place. Pellets can absorb moisture from 

the air, and this can affect the burning process. Some customers store 
their pellets in plastic containers.

   To remove any moisture from you pellets, place pellets in a microwave 

safe bowl. Place the pellets in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. Remove 
the pellets, redistribute the pellets by stirring with a spoon and 
microwave then again for 1-2 minutes. 

   Cherry Pellets can be difficult to burn on their own. You may have to place 

a layer of hickory, maple or oak down first for them to burn properly.

   A-MAZE-N SMOKERS are smoke generators, and designed to produce 

smoke only. They do not produce enough heat to cook your food. You 
still need a heat source for cooking.
