I am looking for a smoke box for my Big Green egg. And thought i would ask for recommendations. Altho the foil wrap works it is not Ideal.

Can you not just put a chunk or two of wood in the lump charcoal? Are you looking to cold smoke maybe? The Amazn tray is the go to if you need to load a try with pellets or dust.

I heat with a wood burning stove using hardwood. So I don't feel a need to buy hardwood sawdust. yes I can put hardwood chunks in with the charcoal and I currently do that. In my old tin smoker I use an external smoke source to cold smoke That will not come up to temp for a hot smoke in the winter even with external insulation. I know from watching cooking shows that chefs use a smoke box in normal oven to get a smoked flavor and wondered if anyone had experience with these devices and how well they work for BBQ/smokers like a kamado pot.

I think you could use an Amazn tray with pellet or dust in the bottom of your Kamado to cold smoke.

Thanks that is tempting. I Just bought an Iron smoke box on amazon for $7.95. I will give it a try for Hot smoking in the K pot and to add smoke when broiling on the gas grill. The Brinkman tin smoker with an electric hear source works well for cold smoke in the summer and I could go back to charcoal for winter. But that is labor intensive as it requires keeping close track for 6 to 8 hours. My external smoke source is a converted ceramic charcoal camp stove that I found at a garage sale a few years ago. Previously I used 5 litter olive oil tin ducted into the smoker and fired by an old soldering iron.
