Stainless steel BBQ smoking tubes have made smoking meats and other food very easy. 

Smoking food is divided into two categories, hot and cold smoking.  Traditionally, hot smoking, which is also referred to as barbecuing has been accomplished by cooking food over burning wood.  The burning of the wood creates both the heat necessary for cooking and the smoke from the wood creates the flavor.  With the mass migrations of people into the cities the art of cooking over wood was lost.  The wood was replaced with charcoal because it was lighter in weight and then charcoal was replaced with gas and electric.  Neither charcoal, gas or electric provide any flavor to the cooked meat or other food.  The Stainless steel BBQ smoking tubes have brought this back by making a source of smoke quick, easy, neat and convenient and when used with a heat source like charcoal, propane or electric the real barbecue flavor is back.

Stainless steel BBQ smoking tube can also be used for cold smoking.  Cold smoking is the placing of meat or other food into a smoky environment for an extended period of time, 2 - 12 hours, without heat.  The food is flavored by the smoke but not cooked.  Smoked bacon, sausage and smoked cheese are some examples.
