Grilling Accessories BBQ Smoker Box Grill Kit - Stainless Steel Smoke Box for Gas Grill and Charcoal with Wood Chips, Meat Thermometer and Scraper - Complete Outdoor BBQ Accessories Gift Set for Men

I recently tried the Smoked Wood Starter Kit from the Cooking Gift Set Company, and I was genuinely impressed. As someone who enjoys grilling and exploring the world of smoking meats, this kit made it easy! What I appreciated most was the balance between quality and convenience. The set came nicely packaged, making it an excellent gift for BBQ lovers or home chefs. It includes a stainless-steel smoker box, hickory smoked salt packet and apple wood chips, which were sealed separately and labeled clearly. The included instructions were straightforward and beginner-friendly, offering helpful tips on pairing wood types with meats and veggies. While the instructions recommend use with either a charcoal or propane grill, I used a patio style electric grill to smoke my pork shoulder. It worked perfectly and was able to keep the temperature easily between 200 to 250 degrees. Delish! One note: if you don’t already have a meat thermometer or if you wish to experiment beyond the apple wood chips included within, I recommend upgrading to the Deluxe Smoking Kit, also offered by this company. It offers a broad selection of wood types as well as a meat thermometer and grill scraper in addition to the smoker box. This variety of popular wood chips would make it easy to try out different flavor profiles without buying large quantities. The meat thermometer is essential to monitoring the internal meat temperature quickly to avoid losing too much smoke/heat in the process.

Gifted! Perfect gift for someone who is getting started with smoking! Small kits of different flavors to find what they like!

We all had a wonderfully satisfying dinner of hickory smoked bbq ribs tonight. Like their other kits we have already tried (Soup Dumpling, and Hand Pulled Noodles) I was immediately attracted to the simple, bold, tapeless packaging, and lux graphic design. I appreciate the mostly paper/cardboard packaging that lets me know the company is environmentally conscious -which is a must. The smoker set comes with a small metal smoker chest that fits about half a box of wood chips. And with 3 varieties to choose from that means we could enjoy it at maximum, 5 more times! Five more deliciously smoked dinners in our future (to feed my family of 5). I thought the kit is priced great at around $60 for 6 dinners, plus the cost of meat of your choosing. The directions were simple and clearly written with not a lot of words -perfect! It was complete with a QR code that led us to a professionally made video to make things even more clear. It was a nice personal touch to see the CEO on the video teaching the how-tos, and I do think people these days enjoy watching a video, rather than reading a booklet full of words. I must say the video got me more excited, and less apprehensive about the whole thing since I have never really cooked with fire before, except for smores. The equipment the kit comes with; the smoker box, grill scraper, and thermometer is of good, study quality and materials. I love how the scraper is versatile and can be used for a variety of grills, plus bottle opener! We happened to use a digital leave-in thermometer while smoking the ribs along with the hand held thermometer the kit came with. We were happy to see that they both had the same exact readings - so we could tell the handheld was a quality thermometer. I appreciated the doneness temperature guides at the bottom of the thermometer -because, we simply didn't know, and it wasn't written on the instruction cards. We used a propane mini grill with two levels and put the smoker box at the bottom next to rack of ribs#1 and put another rack of ribs #2, at the top level by its lonesome. I was afraid they would taste different because of placement, but I honestly could tell the difference which was wonderful. After the temperature reached 500 degrees, as the instructions said, we left the smoker box to do its thing. Our grill went down in temperature (the digital leave-in thermometer told us) so we had to interfere twice. I think that happened because it was cold and slightly windy that day so it took us a little over 3 hours than the 2.5 it said on the instructions. The recipe for the smoked baby back ribs sauce was outstanding! Although the ribs did taste good on their own, the sauce really complemented the hickory smoke flavor of the ribs perfectly! I really love how the kit did not come with the sauce, so we can choose and substitute the ingredients to our allergies, and diets. For the 3hrs of smoking the ribs, it was consumed within 30min! But, it was well worth the time, because good food takes time! I can say that I am no longer intimidated using our mini grill as a smoker to cook the most deliciously juicy sweet baby back ribs all by myself. I can thank this little Wood Smoked Barbeque Kit from the Cooking Gift Set Company that gave me this culinary experience.

Certainly don't get a lot of wood chips for this price but they are good and do the job well. I won't be purchasing these again mainly just due to how little you get for this price, it'd take multiple boxes for just one brisket cook and then you'd be mixing wood chip flavors unless you get multiple packs of this kit.

Nice packaging, fast delivery.
