Performance notes
Fuel type is wood. The steel body conducts heat efficiently, which helps chips begin smoldering quickly once the burner underneath reaches temperature. The silver finish suggests a polished or stainless steel construction rather than coated carbon steel, which tends to last longer in humid outdoor conditions. At 0.52 lb it is one of the lighter boxes in this group, making it easy to move around the grill surface.
What buyers say
717 reviews with a 4.8 average is an exceptionally strong signal. Buyers at this volume and rating are consistently satisfied, with very few low-score outliers dragging the average down. Sentiment is broadly positive.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Bellemain smoker box work on a gas grill?
Yes. Steel smoker boxes like this one are built for gas grills. You place it over a lit burner so the heat vaporizes the wood chips and pushes smoke through the grates. It can also be used on charcoal setups, though charcoal already provides natural smoke so the benefit is less pronounced.
What kind of wood chips work best with this box?
Any standard wood chips labeled for grilling or smoking will work, including hickory, applewood, cherry, and mesquite. Chip size matters more than brand. Finer chips ignite faster and work well for shorter cooks, while larger chunks smolder longer and suit low-and-slow sessions.
How do you clean a steel smoker box?
Let it cool completely, then knock out any ash and residue. A stiff brush removes most buildup. Occasional scrubbing with warm soapy water followed by thorough drying keeps corrosion at bay. Avoid soaking it in standing water, which accelerates rust on uncoated steel.
