You can smoke meat on any type of BBQ, but gas grills aren't designed for it. The extra gaps on a gas BBQ allow smoke to easily escape, making it difficult to smoke the meat. However, that doesn't mean you can't give it a try; it will just take an extra couple of steps to set it up correctly.

Convert any Hooded BBQ or Grill into a smoker! Simply add chips, pellets or dust, place on your grill near the heat source and allow to smoke.

Our top choices are brisket, pork shoulder (for pulled pork), pork chops, and ribs. You can also give our St. Louis Ribs a try in your new smoker. Beef brisket, pork shoulder, and ribs are three cuts that offer sufficient fat to keep them juicy and tender when done.

Cover and allow beef to smoke, adjusting vents and adding coals a few at a time or adjusting the knobs on a gas grill as necessary to maintain a temperature between 275 and 300°F (135 and 149°C) and adding 2 to 3 wood chunks twice during cooking.
