I am a newbie to smoking , I plan on smoking tofu and veggies and I really like your smoker box, with the slider to control how much smoke is released. What is the name of your smoker box? And where to purchase?
Is this the same process for beef dino ribs?
I am currently smoking a rack of ribs. With the light breeze smoke is pouring out of one side of the grill. The ribs are on the opposite side. And I have to prop up the lid to keep the temp in the 250 range. My conclusion? The Napoleon grill is not a smoker, and was never designed to be a smoker.
this is not smoking… it is just like baking in a home oven
Would love to see a brisket done like this!
Is it Possible to do smoke in an oven?
i have the napoleon smokerbox which constantly catches fire. this one seems promising. How long of smoke can you get with a full load?
Great stuff mate
Great video! Just a comment about moisture. Propane flames creates water vapour as it combusts. Wood makes for a dry environment.
Thanks, I just grilled some pork ribs this past weekend. Although they tasted fine, a lot of positive comments, I felt they could have been better. I didn’t place water in the chamber nor did I wrap my ribs. Next time I’ll try your method, can’t wait!🇬🇧
Water vapour is literally a product of gas combustion.
Bro. Your vid is on point. Best vid I’ve seen. Only discrepancy is that over the box is a no go zone for meat. If someone were to place meat over it (you don’t) it’ll taste like gasoline. Great F’ing job for gas grill smoking.
The link for the Broil King smoker box goes to one with what appears to be a flat bottom rather than the angled one in the video. Thoughts?
At about 5 and a half minutes into the video, the comment is made that it is more work to smoke on a gas grill than a smoker. My opinion is that it depends upon the smoker. I bought one of those cheap smokers with a small fire box on the side. It takes a huge amount of effort to keep the fire at the right level to have an even temperature. I find that using the smoke box on my grill is much easier for managing the fire and grill temp. Great video.
I just bought a Napoleon Gaz Grill with the Napoleon Smoker Box and I stumbled on this 5 year old video that I am gonna save in my Watchlist. Thank you so much for that great tutorial!
Wet chips also add moisture to the chamber.
Why were some videos soaking the chips for 30 mins wtf
I have a 3 burner Napoleon. Should I just use the one under the smoker box?
For $100 you can buy a 18 inch Weber kettle blow the budget in for another $40. Get yourself a couple of bags of Kingsford charcoal and some wood chunks. Watch a handful of YouTube videos on how to smoke with a kettle grill in your often running for a starting cost of about 150 bucks.
Your cooks will be far more convenient and taste easily as good as what was produced on the gas grill. Please understand I’m not against the idea, but there are far more efficient ways to do it and you don’t need to spend thousands of dollars on a fancy pellet grill or offset smoker.
If wood adds moisture to the environment, why do people put a kettle of water on the wood stoves when heating their homes? Because wood fires dry out the air. We recently got a Napoleon gas grill and I love it. I've smoked several meats so far using the smoker box by Napoleon that came with the grill. Been experimenting between wood chips and wood pellets, the ones made for pellet smokers that is.
Smoking wings on the grill turned out great. BUT: for the first half hour of smoking I presoaked my wood chips in water for a while, and had no issues. The second half hour of cooking, I tried your method of using dry chips and refilled the smoker box with such, and the smoker box had flames a foot high off of the surface of the grill. Temperature control was not possible. I think from now on I'll stick with wet wood chips…
