I'm new to this smoking thing and enjoy it. I always got this bitter taste when cooking. I came across these smoking pucks and found out that they worked great. Has anyone else tried these. http://www.ebay.com/itm/251242250612?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
Yes - many folks use them ( not necessarily from those folks,). Do a google on 'bubba pucks" and you can find more suppliers.
I made 3 out of a aluminum pipe fitting. The outside diamater was 2 3/16", just right. If you thread a short piece of aluminum pipe into the end before cutting each off at 1/2" adds some wall thickness so they are easier to stack in tower. Work great and have hollow center making them light weight. I had the fitting in my stash, so didn't need to buy them. A drawback is they take time to make (cut off).
Yup! I have 3 of them

They are great, and pay for themselves after about 20 smokes.
Wondering if the OP was spamming a link for something he's selling on eBay. Always suspicious of a first-time poster and a link to a product for sale. Apology to him if that's not the case.
Anyway, there are several different puck saver brands. Someone else already mentioned a homemade ring version. I did that one myself with the help of a pipefitter at work and some scrap copper tubing. Auber sells Bradley Smoker Bisquette Savers (http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=111), which are a ring type puck saver and lightweight.
