Weber® Universal Stainless Steel Smoker

More and more people are opting for gas barbecues instead of charcoal, obviously because of their convenience. Just press a button and the fun begins.

Skeptics will say that you can't match the flavor of meat grilled on a charcoal grill. However, charcoal is actually purely a fuel, which has little effect on the flavor of the food.

What really provides that smoky aroma, so typical of traditional barbecues, is the smoke from the wood.

How to smoke on a gas barbecue?

All you need is a smoker box, like this Weber stainless steel smoker, and some wood chips.

First, you should soak the wood chips in water for at least half an hour.

Prepare the barbecue for indirect cooking ; that is, turn on half of the burners so that one area of the grill is hot and the other is at a moderate temperature.

Place the piece of meat on the grill, over the turned-off burner. We want the meat to roast slowly, retaining all its moisture.

For extra tenderness, you can place a foil tray of water between the Flavorizer bars and the piece of meat.

Calculate how long the meat should be on the grill. Tip: For consistently excellent results, use a digital thermometer.

With about a half hour left in the smoker, drain the chips, place them inside the smoker, and place the smoker over the lit burners, just above the Flavorizer bars.

You should keep in mind that smoking on a charcoal barbecue is not the same as smoking on a gas barbecue—this is where the difference between the two lies. What we do on a gas barbecue is flavor the meat with the wood flavor.

There are different types of wood chips available, from harder to softer, with stronger or more subtle aromas. The choice depends on the meat you're flavoring.
