I discovered (by accident) smoker bags!!

[Grrr]

So I’m at the grocery the other day. I was looking for an oven roasting bag. But instead I found this*.

I never knew this was a thing. So I tried one out last night on a brisket. Got excellent results. Just the right amount of smokey flavor.
Anyway, just thought I’d share. I know in the past people have started threads basically asking how to get that smoky flavor with out having a smoker. I don’t recall anybody offering this as a solution. So here it is.
*I would not recommend buying from the above link. I bought mine at Kroger for $4.

Very interesting. So, instead of smoke it sort of uses oils to fume [no combustion - nothing is actually burning]?

This might be fun to play with - make identical batches of q - one in the smoker and one in the bags in the house.

Looks to me from this that it does have a sachet of wood chips.

This disposable 3-ply bag has hickory wood chip flavoring which is sealed between the bottom 2 layers of oil and held in place by natural wood syrups.

It says it has “flavoring” and “syrups” rather than actual chips.

But I see this:

The secret of this aluminum foil bag is the patented 3-ply design that keeps the smoke in the bag and provides a separate bottom layer that contains the wood chips.

Ah, I see the problem. One link says syrups and flavorings, the other says wood chips.

Way cool.
