A Smoke Tube filled with pellets gives you 2+ hours of good thick smoke and there's almost no cleanup. When the tube cools down, just shake the fine ash our into a planter or lawn.
X2!
Looks like this..
can be used like this..
Bunch of these tubes out there in different lengths from 6"-12", 6" typically gives about 2 hrs worth of smoke, 12" can get 4hrs or so (more for smokers). You can put less pellets in for shorter grilling times.
As mentioned, leftover ash is very little so it would be easy to dispose of compared to using a stick of wood or branch..
I have a 12" A-Maz-N brand which is made of good quality stainless, lives it's life outdoors year round in my smoker.
You can get the 6" HERE for $18
A 20 lb bag of food quality pellets lasts me well over a year (I mainly use in my electric smoker) and if I remember correctly typically costs less than $20 for the bag.. You do need to keep them in a dry place like a sealed container.
Food quality pellets could be an issue for you finding in Mexico..
