Deluxe BBQ Smoking Kit for Dad Who Love to BBQ - Stainless Steel Smoker with Hinged Lid, All Natural Wood Chips, Hickory Salt – Grilling Accessories

I recently tried the Smoked Wood Starter Kit from the Cooking Gift Set Company, and I was genuinely impressed. As someone who enjoys grilling and exploring the world of smoking meats, this kit made it easy! What I appreciated most was the balance between quality and convenience.The set came nicely packaged, making it an excellent gift for BBQ lovers or home chefs. It includes a stainless-steel smoker box, hickory smoked salt packet and apple wood chips, which were sealed separately and labeled clearly. The included instructions were straightforward and beginner-friendly, offering helpful tips on pairing wood types with meats and veggies.While the instructions recommend use with either a charcoal or propane grill, I used a patio style electric grill to smoke my pork shoulder. It worked perfectly and was able to keep the temperature easily between 200 to 250 degrees. Delish!One note: if you don’t already have a meat thermometer or if you wish to experiment beyond the apple wood chips included within, I recommend upgrading to the Deluxe Smoking Kit, also offered by this company. It offers a broad selection of wood types as well as a meat thermometer and grill scraper in addition to the smoker box. This variety of popular wood chips would make it easy to try out different flavor profiles without buying large quantities. The meat thermometer is essential to monitoring the internal meat temperature quickly to avoid losing too much smoke/heat in the process.

We all had a wonderfully satisfying dinner of hickory smoked bbq ribs tonight.Like their other kits we have already tried (Soup Dumpling, and Hand Pulled Noodles) I was immediately attracted to the simple, bold, tapeless packaging, and lux graphic design. I appreciate the mostly paper/cardboard packaging that lets me know the company is environmentally conscious -which is a must. The smoker set comes with a small metal smoker chest that fits about half a box of wood chips. And with 3 varieties to choose from that means we could enjoy it at maximum, 5 more times! Five more deliciously smoked dinners in our future (to feed my family of 5). I thought the kit is priced great at around $60 for 6 dinners, plus the cost of meat of your choosing.The directions were simple and clearly written with not a lot of words -perfect! It was complete with a QR code that led us to a professionally made video to make things even more clear. It was a nice personal touch to see the CEO on the video teaching the how-tos, and I do think people these days enjoy watching a video, rather than reading a booklet full of words. I must say the video got me more excited, and less apprehensive about the whole thing since I have never really cooked with fire before, except for smores.The equipment the kit comes with; the smoker box, grill scraper, and thermometer is of good, study quality and materials. I love how the scraper is versatile and can be used for a variety of grills, plus bottle opener! We happened to use a digital leave-in thermometer while smoking the ribs along with the hand held thermometer the kit came with. We were happy to see that they both had the same exact readings - so we could tell the handheld was a quality thermometer. I appreciated the doneness temperature guides at the bottom of the thermometer -because, we simply didn't know, and it wasn't written on the instruction cards.We used a propane mini grill with two levels and put the smoker box at the bottom next to rack of ribs#1 and put another rack of ribs #2, at the top level by its lonesome. I was afraid they would taste different because of placement, but I honestly could tell the difference which was wonderful. After the temperature reached 500 degrees, as the instructions said, we left the smoker box to do its thing. Our grill went down in temperature (the digital leave-in thermometer told us) so we had to interfere twice. I think that happened because it was cold and slightly windy that day so it took us a little over 3 hours than the 2.5 it said on the instructions.The recipe for the smoked baby back ribs sauce was outstanding! Although the ribs did taste good on their own, the sauce really complemented the hickory smoke flavor of the ribs perfectly! I really love how the kit did not come with the sauce, so we can choose and substitute the ingredients to our allergies, and diets.For the 3hrs of smoking the ribs, it was consumed within 30min! But, it was well worth the time, because good food takes time!I can say that I am no longer intimidated using our mini grill as a smoker to cook the most deliciously juicy sweet baby back ribs all by myself. I can thank this little Wood Smoked Barbeque Kit from the Cooking Gift Set Company that gave me this culinary experience.

I love the presentation of the box, the note, instructions ,photos with recipes (great that you have a vegetarian option!), it feels special to open. I scanned the QR code and watched the starter video which is awesome and so helpful!I love the notes on the woodchips box itself about tasting notes and how to pair.Overall a really nice set and would make a perfect gift for someone! I think these kits are also great "white elephant" for the holidays as I think many different people would enjoy the set.

Want to up your grill game? This bbq box set got me ready for success. Amazing diverse quality ingredients and easy to incorporate into your grilling routine. You’ll be spicing up your grill game in no time!

A great gift for Father’s Day! My dad will love it, and everything is such high quality. I specifically like how accessible it makes trying new methods of cooking for people like me, who live in apartments. Anyway, can’t wait to see his face when I gift it to him!

This kit is great, I own a full size smoker but with this innovative kit I can smoke a single small dish without the chore of using the regular smoker.The quality is great and I love the recipe cards that come with it. Good value for money and it’s always nice to support a small business. Highly recommend. 😀

I love to cook and grill, yet had never tried smoking meat or fish. This set was a perfect way to give it a try. Easy to use and high quality, makes a great gift, too! The salmon turned out amazing. Looking forward to making it again!

I don’t have any experience with grill smoking, and this kit was the perfect introduction! I love the recipe cards and easy step-by-step instructions. We are looking forward to purchasing more wood chips and trying out the other recipes.
