I have to say this is the best smoker I've ever used. I tried all sorts of other contraptions, but this beats them all. Lot's of smoke! I was looking for a smoker when I discovered you and now I have plenty of smoke right on my gas grill without buying a dedicated smoker.
I've only had your smoker for about a week and I've already smoked steaks, chicken, beer-can chicken and as I type this, I have a boston butt being smoked right now for some eastern North Carolina bbq we'll have later tonight. Thanks for a great product. I'll be back to buy a few smokers for my friends as gifts.

Dear Sam
I own a Weber Summit Gold 6 burner Gas Grill and since receiving your smoker and wood chips, every chicken, steak, roast, chop and vegetable we grill gets the smoke treatment while cooking. Your system is the easiest, cleanest, slickest way to add real wood smoke flavor to all our grilled food. The variety of wood you offer gives us a different flavor every time we grill. I'm an old apple and hickory purist, but the mulberry and pear woods have got me reconsidering.
I also own a Brinkman's wood smoker which is a pretty fine product on it's own, but I can use low temperature cooking on my Weber, with your smoker and get the same results with much less hassle.
Thanks for a great product. My next order for more wood chips will be coming soon!

I own a Weber 3 burner Gas Grill and since receiving your smoker and wood chips, I have become an instant BBQ master. My wife use to discourage me from grilling and now wants me to grill every night. In addition, I also own one of the handiest grilling tools made; your scrappy tool. I use it for just about everything and always enjoy looking at the smiley face. Keep up the good work and continue delivering a quality product.
Thanks,

Barbecuing may not be rocket science, but engineers got together to create a smoke pan for gas grills. Sam's
Smoker Pro comes with a specially designed Universal Grate Removal Tool that makes moving and opening the
hot pan easy and painless.

Tests The Sam Smoker Pro!
A new product has recently become available that will turn your ordinary BBQ Barbecue-BBQ grill (either a charcoal and or and electric grill or a gas-fired model) into an acceptable wood grill.
This product is not the normal smoking box. It's a large radiant cooking device that lowers the temperature above
the grate about 100 degrees. It is a real wood grilling system that allows all BBQ Barbecue-BBQs to experience the real taste
of wood grilling on their gas, electric, or charcoal grill

Article "From the BackYard" "Sam's BackYard Word"
Sam is single-handedly responsible for helping to turn our normal, slow and low world upside down. You see, a few years back, Sam had this little invention called Sam's Smoker Pro™. It is designed to turn your normal gas grill into an all-around gourmet wood fired grill or smoker.... Everyday BBQ Barbecue-BBQrs who think it takes hours to perfect that slab of ribs or Boston Butt. Sam's proved that by using his instrument, these hours turn into minutes with either a light gourmet touch or heavy smoke flavor.

What Author Steven Raichlen Thinks on Smoking Boxes - May 11, 2006
Steven Raichlen has placed The Sam's Smoker Pro™ in his new book: - Ribs Ribs Ribs. On page 36
Dear Mr. Steven Raichlen,
I was wondering your opinion on what was better a cast iron smoker box or a stainless steel one. I would be using it in a Weber Summit 4 burner gas grill. I saw on the internet a product called Sam's Smoker Pro™ but it seemed huge at a size of 10.7"x11.4"x1.8" high I was thinking this takes up one side of the grill...not sure if that is a good idea or not. They do make a smaller version. Not sure if Id go that route or get a normal SS box or cast iron one. I just wondered your thoughts on this topic.
Steve - says Sam's Smoker Pro™ is the best smoker he knows of, and the broad dimensions contribute to its effectiveness. Hope this helps! All good wishes,
Nancy Loseke

------------------------Testimonial - Sam,
I just came across your product online and it looked interesting. I had thought about buying a smoker box for my Weber summit grill but wasn't sure if I wanted a cast iron one or stainless steel...or just use aluminum foil. I had sent an email to;
Steven Raichlen of Barbeque University fame and he said yours is the best product out there for smoking on a gas grill....quite a compliment. I'd say. So then I was trying to decide if I wanted the JR or the Pro. I will reach a decision in a day or 2.
Thanks for the response.
---------------------Steven Raichlen has placed The Sam's Smoker Pro™ in his new book: Ribs Ribs Ribs.
On page 36 of Ribs Ribs Ribs Steven Raichen writes:
If you are serious about smoking on your gas grill there are ......solutions. ....Buy an accessory called Sam's Smoker Pro™. The device looks like a large, heavy, flat metal candy box, and it fits under the grate directly over the burners. Following the manufacture's instructions, you fill the box with wood chips that have been soaked in water and drained, then you place the box in a preheated grill. The rising smoke subtly flavors the ribs. Because this device has a wide surface area, it's more efficient for smoking than the average smoker box.

I used Sam's Smoker to
cook the Thanksgiving turkey. I used a Weber gas grill with 3 burners and
a rotiserie. I removed the flavorizer bars and set the smoker on the rear
burner. I covered the center burner with aluminum foil to keep the drippings
from falling into the burner holes.
I slow cooked the turkey using apple wodchips and hickory wood chips. As the
turkey cooked and rotated, the juices self basted the turkey.
The turkey was excellent! Everyone agreeded that it was the best tasting turkey
they ever ate. My date commented that the turkey was moisture and better tasting
than a deep fried turkey.

It is great! I had a smaller smoker box I used before and never got any real smoke flavor out of it. But yours is entirely different. I have already used it plenty of times and the difference is incredible - Great product!!
By the way, I heard about your smoker from the Steve Raichlen Rib book.

Hi Sam
"I own a 3-burner Vermont Castings gas grill, and I am in love with my Smoker Pro - so much so that I have bought one for other members of my family. It really holds the heat well, keeps burning for up to 4 hours and has saved me the expense of buying a separate hot smoker. And when the neighbors smell the brisket I'm smoking, the line forms outside my front door!
Thanks, Sam!

Testimonial.
Based on a review of "cool" products that appeared last spring in Bon Appetite magazine, I ordered your smoker for my husband for Father's Day. (It had gotten a great review in the magazine.) He loved it! In fact, it's his new
favorite grilling tool. Now John looks for any excuse to grill now so he can use the smoker!

Dear Folks at Sam's,
I just purchased your "Smoker Pro" for my gas grill. Just wanted to drop you folks a note and let you know this is the finest smoker I ever used!! I have been grilling outside for over 30 years...tried everything from the cast iron models to the aluminum foil "home made" type...but now THIS is a smoker first class!!! The smoke flavor is really driven into the meats and the constant steady stream of solid smoke is a breeze to work with...this is the best smoker I have ever used...bar none!!! I can see why it is award winning!! I give it "Blue Ribbon" and "Best of Show"!!! Fits my grill like a glove...perfect!!
Sincerely,

As a newcomer to smoking I'm glad I did the research and waited for what I
believe as well as my dinner quest's is the best Smoker on the market for
your existing grill. It's easy to use, less work than those stand along
electric or large wood burning units and, clean up is a breeze, Every item
I've cooked from fish to pork comes out tasting better and more flavorful
than simple grilling alone. I'd recommend it to anyone novice or expert...
The Smoker Pro is simply the BEST!"

Testimonial Sam,
Just wanted to drop you a note that yesterday our 1st weekend back from Florida I used your smoker with the apple & pecan wood chips. I was so excited to try out the smoker. Well I can say that I got an A+ on cooking up the hamburgers. Everyone loved the taste of the burgers. The only thing that I regret is that I did not buy a smoker earlier.
Take Care,
Tom Kingsberg
Testimonial Sam:
I purchased the Smoker, tools and wood chips at the 2003 County fair in Washington County and have been using the smoker continuously. It has provided the fine smoked aroma of apple, cherry and hickory to many wonderful dinners. I would like to add that the quality of the product has withstood the test of time, as it is in as good a shape now as it was when I bought it.No falling apart or rusting away because of cheap metal or poor workmanship
It works quickly and burns chips completely. I leave it in my gas grill continually as it does not affect the use of the
grill in any way. The tools handle the toughest grilling situation and are a pleasure to use.
If you want a long lasting product that performs to the highest expectations - this is the Smoker to use and a few of the tools will even make the task better. I look forward to many more great smoked meals and trying out the plum chips.

Testimonial Sam,
I love it. This is the second one I bought for myself. Over the past few years I bought two more for my friends. Grilling is just so much better with the Sam's Smoker Pro™. I thought I would miss my grill when I switched to gas but with the smoker everything I cook is great. I've tried 5 or 6 different woods and
they add a lot of variety. Thanks again, this is a great product that lives up to what is advertised.

Testimonial,
The Smoker Pro is a revolutionary grilling accessory that has helped me reach new levels in BBQ that I have never thought I could reach with my standard gas grill. This device has performed flawlessly and the build quality is superb. Here in Tokyo there are a group of Americans that consider themselves serious when it comes to ribs and they have a 'rib-off' once a year with voting and prizes. How did I do my first time out? Took first place! Went up against a guy who used a real smoker too! I can't say how pleased I am with this product and the customer service as well. Sam is a stand-up guy and has gone out of his way to send everything all the way to Japan. I just ordered 4 for my friends for Christmas too, and Sam zipped them out via airmail. Sam, many thanks to you again!

If you have a gas grill, you have to get a "Sams Smoker Pro". It will take your food to another level. I've tried everything from foil packets to chips in a cast iron skillet to get smoke, all with no success until I got the Smoker Pro. It turned my Weber gasser into a slow smoker. Steaks are out of this world delicious. Pork Loin came out awesome after 1 1/2 hr. smoked with apple and hickory. I have a Traeger Pellet Smoker and I'm finding that I use my Weber with the Smoker Pro insert more than my Traeger. Thanks Sam for a wonderful product.

Over the years I've tried numerous ways to generate smoke using wood chips on my gas grill, but Sam's Smoker Pro™ puts them all to shame. It produces clouds of flavorful smoke that comes the closest I've seen to using a charcoal BBQ. I'd recommend Sam's Smoker Pro™ to anyone who wants to get that true smoked flavor conveniently on their gas grill.

---------------------Hey There ,
I saw your fabulous accessory on the HGTV grill & patio special, and I'm wanting to buy one for every griller in my family (which is a big number!) I love that it's also super cute, functional, and so multi-functional, the best I love in accessories for my home and for gifts. The design is fabulous and reminds me of Alessi (beautiful and whimsical design) product. Great grill scraper, bottle opener, super cute accessory Thank you and congratulations on a beautiful product!

Sam showed us his invention, SAM SMOKER PRO, by cooking us steaks and a
roasted & smoked whole chicken. His own Herbal Beer Chicken Recipe. The favor was super,
unbelievable. I invited by brother and his wife over and we used 1st-BBQ-Smokers BBQ Smoker to grill a
whole chicken to perfection. SAM Smoker PRO and his recipes are exceptional."

The Philly steak sandwich you wood grilled me was awesome.
Better than any I have ever had. The wood grilled Pizza Also very good and
definitely worth the money.
Sam, the wood fired pizza that you cooked for me was absolutely awesome. I have never thought a pizza
could turn out so flavorful cooked on the grill in my opinion your pizza is the best pizza in the city.

I
bought one of your spatulas at the Zesty Foods show in
We
received the spatula a week or two ago.
To
be honest, when we came home from the Zestfest where we bought my spatula,
I initially looked at it and wondered what I had been thinking when I had
bought something so ridiculously large that it would only have limited uses
at best. However, I gave the spatula a fair chance and it won me over
very quickly. I love being able to use a single spatula to flip large
pieces of meat, especially those that need TLC. The spatula enables
me to flip large salmon filets without damaging the filet. My wife likes
her fish well-done and the spatula enables me to cook it the way she likes
it. The spatula enables me to turn over beef briskets with relative
ease as well. It’s also great for when I'm cooking huge quantities
of burgers.
The spatula that I ordered this time, I ordered for my brother-in-law. He was helping me grill 20 lbs. of ribs, incidentally using your smoker box, and the spatula's usefulness became readily apparent to him. There is no similar grill tool on the Internet. Your spatula is made of heavy-duty steel and has the biggest surface I have seen anywhere. It is an indispensable tool when I barbeque.

I recently purchased your Smoker Pro and have been amazed
at the results. It really produces a tremendous amount of smoke and
has added great flavor to my grilled foods. One question, any suggestions
for making the smoke last longer? I am getting between 30- 40 minutes
of good smoke on 3 cups of wood chips soaked for approximately 10-15 minutes.
I’m thinking of trying some larger chunks of wood to see if that will prolong
the smoke. For steaks, chicken, burgers etc… 30 minutes is more than
enough smoke time but I am going to be doing some ribs, brisket, pork shoulder
etc.. and I don’t want to have to open the grill every 30 minutes
or so to add chips and thereby loose my temperature. The chunks of wood
to which I refer are probably 2-3 inches long and 1 inch or so thick.
I planned to soak these for 1-2 hours then try them out perhaps with some
chips in the Smoker Pro first with the larger chunks placed on top of the
chips. Do you think these larger chunks of wood will smoke in the Smoker
Pro and prolong the smoking time? Thanks for making such a great product.
The Smoker Pro puts my past tin foil and various cheap smoker boxes to shame.

Merry Christmas!
Thanks for the super fast shipping! I got my smoker
and wood chips today (this morning or late last night?). In any case,
it was a short day at work today, so I stopped at the meat market and got
a nice short rack of baby backs for the wife and me.
WOW! Although it was my first time, they came out REALLY
well and the neighbors were jealous from the smell of the smoke that they
got blown their way for 2 hours.
I do have a couple questions though. I've got a two
zone ducane natural gas grill (not propane) and
even with the other zone off and the zone under the smoker at it's lowest
setting, my grill still sits at 300 degrees (as measured above the meat) (just FYI with both burners going I get up around 850+
degrees, GREAT for cooking pizza -- which my wife is excited to make with
the smoker for that 'wood oven flavor'). My only concern is that for
long cooks (like a roast or something) that this will cause some charring
before the meat's finished cooking (in fact, the ribs tonight had a bit more
bark than I tend to like, but I think part of that was putting the meat on
a bit too quickly (the grill was still a bit hot).
Should I put the meat on the other side of the grill?
There's plenty of smoke on the other side, it's just that the smoke doesn't
come right up through the meat that way...
Also, when I replace the wood chips after about an hour,
I turned the grill up in order to get them smoking (which they did quickly)
and then I turned the heat back down to low after the smoke was back.
Is this necessary? The temperature in the grill didn't go up much, but
I just want to make sure I'm doing it the right way...
Thanks again!
