Smoke Tube Pellet/Chunk Splitter

I always loved the oak chips from Jack Daniels barrels for smoking BBQ. But now since I have a pellet smoker, it makes it almost obsolete. So in an effort to use it again, I got a pellet smoker tube. BUT, the chips did not burn fully, if at all.

I designed a piece of laser-cut stainless steel to split the smoke tube in half. 50% pellets for burning fuel and 50% oak chips for that great JD flavor. Just have to fil each side with either pellets or chips, then pull the splitter out and light the tube with a torch.

The pellets provide the fuel to fully burn the chips! Every time!

Of course, it wouldn’t be complete without a bottle opener on the end!
