You can use a smoking tube to help provide hot smoke to give your gas grill smoking capabilities. Make sure to use the best pellets possible to provide good flavoring. Adding Extra Smoke To Your Grill The amount of burn time that a smoke tube can provide depends on the volume of the tube as well as how many pellets you load into the tube. This can mean anywhere from one to five hours of gradual smoldering and smoking. It also depends on how wet or dry the chips or pellets are. The damper they are, the shorter the burn time (if you can get them to burn at all). The drier the chips or pellets, the longer the burn time. Most smoke tubes come with instructions that say to light and then burn the chips or pellets for around 10 minutes before placing the tube inside your grill so they all get hot, crisp, and start producing smoke.
