How to Smoke on a Gas BBQ
Smoking food on your gas BBQ grill eliminates the need for you having to buy an expensive smoker. Not only does smoking food on your gas BBQ grill save you money, it is relatively easy to do and produces some great tasting smoked food. Smoked food has never been easier.
Buy wood chips for smoking. These chips come in many different flavors and will give your food a smoky flavor.
Put the wood chips in water, so that they can soak for around 45 minutes to an hour. They must be soaked in water, so that they will not catch on fire when smoking and potentially burn your food.
Remove the chips from the water and allow them to dry off a little bit. Do not allow them to dry completely. They must remain damp.
Place a 12-inch square piece of foil on a table or any other flat surface.
Place your damp wood chips onto the foil and cover them with the foil. Allow a small opening to remain in the foil. This is where the smoke will come out to flavor the food.
Turn on your gas grill. Keep the gas grill set to low level heat.
Place the foil containing your wood chips on the grilling surface over direct heat.
Place the food you wish to smoke onto the grill. Make sure the food is not over direct heat.
Cook the food until it is done to your satisfaction. You can use a meat thermometer to give you a better idea of when the food is done. Different foods require different internal temperatures to be considered done.
