The A-MAZE-N Tube Smoker is a great tool for adding extra smoke to a dish. Just fill with your favorite pellets, light it up and let it slowly burn back while your food is cooking.
Sautéed onions & browned chorizo in the skillet, then it's "everyone in the pool!"
Smoke away, stirring occasionally, until everything is melted!
