gas grill set up for smoking how to use a gas grill as a smoker smoking with a gas barbecue grill
hi it's AlaskaGranny today I'm going to show you how to turn your gas grill into
a smoker the first thing you want to do is set up your gas barbecue grill so that it's ready
to be used as a smoker so you want to open the lid of course then you want to
remove the grate just set them aside and
then every barbecue is a little bit different this one has this kind of a
unit that's a heat distribution cover over the actual gas grill part so just
set that aside this barbecue has three burners that go side to side
some of them go front to back so depending on what your BBQ is what kind of gas grill the way
it's set up this will still work but pay attention to is it three burners this
way or three burners running this way when you want to set up your gas barbecue as a smoker now
we're going to configure the gas grill as a smoker we want to use indirect heat so
there are three burners we're only going to have one burner going while we smoke at one end and
the burner is going to be on the lowest temperature the very lowest setting that you can get
and then the meat will be cooked on the other side of the grill away from the heat source and
then in between you will put your wood smoker chips next to the heating element and then
you'll put your tray of water in the middle and then your grill rack will go
back on this side and that's the side that you will cook your meat and having
the water in there the water helps absorb some of the heat and it allows the
temperature of the gas grill to be kept down which is what the most important key problem when you want to smoke meat is
and it will make this gas grill smoker system be successful so the first thing I want to
do is put in my tray that's going to hold the water so this is the only
burner that's going to be lit and that's where the chips will go so the water
tray will go over here in the middle and this is the side where the meat will be smoked and cooked and
once again the water will help absorb some of the heat to keep it the temperature low enough
so that my meat will smoke without drying out or burning so I put my tray
there make sure it's a tray you don't care what happens to it fill it up with
water and now you're ready to place your chips and light your grill now I want to
light my barbecue gas grill so first make sure your tank is on then you want to just go
to the one side burner that you're going to use and light it then you want to turn it
down to the lowest setting that it'll go but that's not low enough so now you
want to go to your tank and you want to crank it down to just about off and then
crank it back a quarter of a turn so that you choke down the propane and
you're thus keeping the burner on as low as it can go and then you want to make
sure that you didn't choke it so low that the burner went off you want to
check and make sure that it's still with now I'm going to place my disposable
aluminum pan right into the burner that's on but to the lowest temperature
and that's going to hold my wood chips a disposable aluminum pan works way better
than say packets of foil because you can add and remove more chips you can remove
burned up chips and it's easy to move the wood chip tray around to set and discard without it
disintegrating or spilling and making a huge mess put it over your burner that's
just barely on and you can see how sturdy that is and then you just add
your chip then I can easily add more during the smoking process and all of
this is going to keep the heat from burning the meat now I'm going to place
my rack just on this side and this is the indirect heat and this is the only
place that I'm going to cook my meat so then the chips and the moisture will
keep the temperature low and put the smoke on the meat so that's just
delicious now I'm going to close the lid of the gas barbecue grill and wait about 15 minutes for it
to come up to temperature and then I'm going to have the perfect environment
for cooking a pork shoulder ribs or a brisket
