One thing that many gas grill owners do not realise is the fact that their existing gas grills can be easily used as barbecue smokers with a little ingenuity and a few dollars. Smoking food adds a greater range of flavour.

These days, many of us have switched to the cleaner, ergonomic gas grills, and you may be surprised to find that the Weber gas grill can be used as an excellent smoker thanks in part to their superb build quality and large internal cooking area.

The most important thing is to put the wood chips on when the grill is cool, you want to avoid adding your wood-chips while the grill is too warm or else your wood-chips will smoulder and be ineffective for cooking with.

You should prepare your wood-chips in enough water, allowing them to soak for around 30-60 minutes prior to cooking. This will ensure that they are properly moistened and will deliver smoke correctly to your food.

When choosing wood-chips to smoke your food, avoid using liquid smoke that is commonly available as this usually does not impart flavour as well as good quality wood-chips. Green wood-chips are undesirable as they refuse to burn properly, instead select good quality aged chips as they produce a far more pleasing taste.

You should avoid the temptation of continually adding them to the smoking tray during the course of cooking as not only will this drain the heat and increase cooking time but it will also add a bitter taste to your food.

Now lift out the cooking grates from your Weber gas grill, and place your prepared wood-chips in a suitable metal or disposable aluminium tray and place this “smoking tray” to the far lower left side of the grill away from the burners, ensuring that they are not too close to the flame.

Once you have positioned your smoking tray in the correct position, replace the grates on your Weber grill, and now you should preheat the grill for smoking. Turn all of your grill burners on to full, and allow all them to run for around 20 minutes or so until the wood-chips produce smoke and the internal temperature of the grill has been raised enough ready to start cooking your food.

Now that your wood-chips are smoking well, turn off the middle burners, replace the grills using mitts for safety, and add your food to the grill over the central area so that your food cooks using indirect heat. Close the grill as quickly as possible once you have added all of your food and leave it alone until your food is properly cooked.

If you are using a BBQ sauce on your meats, only add it to your food during the last 20 or 30 minutes of cooking time, as the sugar content will lead to caremelisation and will result in a burnt coating on your food, so pay attention to the temperature and remaining cooking time.

It is recommended that you should use a separate BBQ thermometer to measure the temperature of your food to ensure that your food is properly cooked, and you should avoid pushing the temperature probe into any fat pockets or too close to any large bones in the meat as this will produce inaccurate readings.

At the end of the smoking process, your barbecue food will be smoked and cooked to perfection in your Weber gas grill. To obtain the best results, and it should go without saying, avoid boiling any of your meat prior to barbecuing as this drains the flavour from your food.

It is well worth experimenting with different wood-chip combinations and meats as you will discover personal flavour combinations that suit your palette.

When you think about a barbecue gas grill, what do you think of first? Which aspects of grills are important, which are essential, and which ones can you take or leave? You be the judge.

Think about what you’ve read so far. Does it reinforce what you already know about grills? Or was there something completely new? What about the remaining paragraphs?

The unit’s three, main, stainless-steel burners and 42,800-BTU-per-hour input make it easy to cook-up everything from steaks, pork chops, chicken, and fish to veggie burgers, shish-kabobs, and slices of fresh pineapple.

The grill also supplies porcelain-enameled, cast-iron cooking grates that effectively retain heat and create delicious sear marks; porcelain-enameled Flavorizer bars to help ensure excellent results and reduced flare-ups; and an Electronic Crossover ignition system for ease of use.

Weber 3780001 Genesis S320 Propane Gas Grill, Stainless Steel reviews by customer.
It was found that the Amazon.com reviews listed here are very reliable and impartial. Before I bought this grill, I went and looked at the view, which I always do before any purchase. So here I am writing this Weber gas grill. I wanted to say that this grill worth the money. At first I was reluctant to buy the bars because of high prices. But after reviewing the comments and compare the advantages an disadvantages, I decided to go. I placed an order on Amazon.com and 4-5 days after I received a call from the delivery schedule of the local shipping company. I was not home the day he was released, but I would say it has been issued correctly. What I like is the uniform distribution of heat on the grill cooking grids. The food cooked evenly, without burning one side of the meat. The work of Weber on this point may be the next model. However, I would say that the stainless steel cover burner may need thicker steel with high heat comes from the combustion itself.Overall I am satisfied with my purchase and I recommend the grill.
