What You’ll Need
Fuel and Tools
- Kingsford® Signature Flavors Wood Pellets
- Gas Grill
- Scissors
- Heavy-Duty Aluminum Foil (12” Wide)
- Steak Knife
- Heat-Resistant Grilling Gloves
- Smoke Tube
How to Prep
- Aluminum Foil Method:
- Place a 12” x 14” piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil on a flat source, shiny side up.
- Fold the foil in half to create a crease.
- Unfold and place a ⅔ cup of Kingsford® Signature Flavors Wood Pellets on one side of the foil.
- Refold in half and fold the top and bottom edges over about ½” twice, repeat with the rightmost edge.
- Flip over the pack, and using a steak knife, poke a few holes in the side with no visible folds to allow the smoke to escape.
- Place the pack on your gas grill — and enjoy the smoky flavor!
- Smoke Tube Method:
- An additional and convenient way to get more smoke flavor is with a smoke tube.
- Simply fill the metal tube with the Kingsford® Signature Flavors Wood Pellets or standard Kingsford® Hardwood Blend Pellets of your choice.
- Next, place the smoke tube on the grate and position a Kingsford® Quick Light fire starter on one end of the tube. Light the Kingsford® fire starter and let the flame spread to the pellets. You can also use a propane torch on the low setting to start the pellets.
- Once a good flame develops, fan the flame to make sure you’ve reached a good level of combustion.
- To make sure the pellets stay lit, continue to burn the flame for about 10 minutes.
- Next, blow out the flame. Smoke should be forming and filling the cooking cavity.
- Now, it’s time to put your food on the grill. It’s as easy as that!
