What's the first think you remember smoking on a gas grill?

[miketurner]

I use a $8 cast iron pan that I bought at Walmart camping dept. I let the grill and pan get hot, add the dry chips about 10 minutes before the food. I get plenty of smoke and flavor. Put the pan on one side of the grill under a high burner. I have a 4 burner grill. Cover it with foil with holes poked through if you feel it's necessary, I don't. Been doing it this way for two decades.

I bought a gas grill with a smoker box and rotisserie 20 years ago. Wish they still made them like that. So much versatility and convenience on one package.

This is how I started 20 years ago. Cast iron smoking box and a gas grill. I bought a larger BBQ and used the end element to provide the heat and make the chips burn. Most I would get is about 45 minutes and then I would change the box with another or, using a fireproof mitt, dump out the blackened chips and put more in it.

Went to a charcoal bullet, then a Traeger and now an offset. I have them all. I can tell you that if you own a gas grill or want more/different flavor from your pellet grill, get a tube smoker and fill it full of wood chips instead of pellets. Pellets will last longer, but pellets only really give you dirty smoke in a tube smoker. I can go six hours easy with a large tube smoker and only about half as long on chips. Chips are superior flavor wise in every way. Chips in a tube burner run themselves and in the gas grill I had to have the temperature too high to get the chips to burn. Chips in a tube burner allow you to cold smoke.

You can buy two tubes for really long smokes. You can just refill a single tube an light it again. If your are cooking meats, they don't take on smoke past 120, so you might need less smoke than you think. If the meat is wrapped, you clearly don't need to supply any more smoke. I have an expanding tube, but you can just get a big one and fill it less.

This ain't my first rodeo. I'll run a brisket in the offset, wrap it and then put it in the Traeger on cheaper heating pellets and either go to bed or go to work. I did all the screwing around for all who are reading this.

One of the best results I received was on our Weber Spirit 200. If I recall it correctly, I used Pecan wood chips for this experiment -- which I call it as it was really the first time I set out to smoke a steak and reverse seer it. I preheated the grill to burn off the previous cook and start the smoker box off. Using one burner at its lowest setting, which kept the temperature near 185, I left the steak to smoke for well over an hour. At the time I set about to reverse seer it by opening both burners to about 60%. A couple minutes on each side and it was done.
The results were one of the best steaks I think I have ever had. While in hindsight I think it should have probably dried out some, it remained tender and juicy, full of flavor from both the marinade and smoke. I didn't even dare put any steak sauce on it because it came out so good.

I live in an upstairs flat so no garden! Not a problem! - I got a little handful of Hickory Wood Chips and places them over my gas top stove burner ring and Wow! Now everything get's the same treatment for a Barbeque cooked Slightly Smokey Taste! From Burgers to Steaks and Chops to Home made Naan Breads and Cooked Shish Kebabs ! What a Game changer! I've never looked back - there's a technique to it but once easily learnt - you'll never 'Finish Off' these types of food any other way - Brilliant Blog by the way - keep em coming Please! x x x

[dastick]

Yep…I do it all the time. Woods chips over flame, ribs on the other side. 5 hrs later have a great meal!

[Deanriley]

Bought smoker box and chips for use on gas grill about three years ago, but was unsure about use, but with this video I’ll finally get around to using it. thanks!

[JamesCAsphalt]

Thanks for the video. I have been using a gas grill for years and never thought of smoking until now. I can't wait to try it.

[mikebriseno]

Before buying a smoker I smoked brisket all the time on gas grill. I had a six burner grill and I would use two smoke boxes. One on each end burner. I used half and half dry and wet chips. Dry on bottom. I would add chips as needed but not any after 3 hours.
Smoke would distribute pretty evenly having box on each end.
Brisket would reach 165 in about 3 and a half hours then wrapped another two hours to get to 200. As far as taste goes I prefer the smoker but not by a lot. Pretty good and less work and that's a plus.

[shanemiller]

Thank u I asked my friend about foild today way before watching this video and he said probably not they would burn right into the foil so happy I found your video thank u sir

[bradtaylor]

I bought a selection bundle of your wood chips (smoker tube). They are legit for my use...

[andrewkalydy]

I’ve smoked a brisket on my gas grill. It was amazing.

[brandytapia]

I've been smoking on a pit for 25 yrs and my grandfather before me. It's always been a common thing where I'm from.

[qhazwel]

I did it on my air fryer at 450. It really started to smoke quick. It is a Gourmia Air Fry grill. I put the foil pack under the grill and put the dogs on the grill. I allowed it to start smoking. I took the pack out because the Gourmia doesn't remove the smoke on Air Fry mode.

I want western wood. I got your western wood right here.

Thanks for the vid brother. you should DEFINITELY try smoking a brisket on a gas grill. Obviously, it's not the most optimal choice to cook bro, I smoked a 20 pounder last weekend and it was legit. Used dry and wet chips. Now, my cook time was right around 10 hours at a consistent 280-290 degrees to get it to 165. Wrapped and rested for 2 hours, and when I tried to do the pull test the weight of the slice I was holding cut itself with gravity 🤤 Keep up the great work 👍

thank you for the tips on how to add wood chips to my smoker! Love my Traeger Pro 780, I thought when purchasing it secondhand it was a model with the the super smoke option. It isn’t equipped with it, but this should help!

[michaelguerrero]

Great video. I just made some great ribs on my gas grill but they lacked that beautiful smokiness. I’ll try a pouch next time.

[themole]

Easy! I will try this before going out and getting a new weber. I just like my chicken thighs cooked slowly over real coals. They just taste better that way.
