Heavy gauge stainless that will allow your wood chips to smoke without flaming up. Your
only limitation is that the box is about 1 inch thick so you will NOT
be able to put large hunks of wood into it. I have an electric Brinkman
that has a flat metal plate over the heating element from which the wood
always falls (or at least 50% of it) into the bottom of the smoker.
This smoker box is small enough to go on top of the heating element but
under the water pan. It has no hinges so it opens easy UNLESS IT IS
HOT. TO MAKE FUNCTIONAL, UNLESS YOU ARE DOING A QUICK SMOKE, YOU NEED TO
BUY 2 OF THESE. Why, you need to fill one and place on/near heat
source. When smoke stops emanating, take a pair of BBQ tongs and remove
it to cool off. While cooling, take your second filled chip box and
place on heating source and close door. Refill the other box when cool,
and it will be ready to use. If I were going to use a larger chunk
wood in a place that did not limit size, I would just cover with heavy
foil to keep wood from flaring up and burning. Hope this helps.
