smoker box

Grill flavor accessory

A smoker box is a metal container that holds wood chips for generating smoke in a grill or oven.

The box sits over a heat source, and as the chips smolder, smoke escapes through holes to flavor the food: I filled the smoker box with hickory chips for the brisket.

Essential equipment for adding barbecue-style smoke to a standard gas grill.
