Dan Cooper from Weber UK has been working on this recipe for several years and we think he may have just Read More > Setting up a gas grill for smoking can be very easy, especially if the grill is equipped with a built-in smoker box; however, there is a way to create smoke even without a built-in smoker box.

Its dimensions make it wide but shallow. This helps keep heat distribution within your grill very even, reducing the risk of dreaded ‘hot spots’ (or indeed cold!) and helping to cook a greater area of food. When cooking, be sure to keep the lid of your grill closed. This will keep the smoke condensed in your grill’s barrel, and help make your food rich in smoky, BBQ goodness. You might buy all your Weber needs from WoW BBQ, but have you ever wondered how one of the iconic Weber Read More > A smoker box is essentially a small steel box that houses wood chips. The chips are lit and brought to a smolder. Once they are smoldering the lid of the box is closed, and the holes and air vents on the lid allow smoke to flow into the chamber of your gas grill.During the preheating phase, your grill will start to get up to normal grill temperatures. Don’t worry, we are going to shut off the burners we don’t need when we set up the grill for indirect cooking later. Monday arrived and the official start of the Weber World Summit was scheduled to start in the afternoon. Read More > As can be seen in the above diagram from Weber’s patent the smoker box is placed across the grease deflector bars in a gas grill. It’s positioned so that the left side of the smoker box and water pan are resting on a deflector bar (labeled 2224) without a burner beneath it. The right side of the smoker box rests on a deflector bar (labeled 2222) above a burner (labeled 2214), creating zones within smoker box. Smoker Box Zones Material:While a smoker box is in essence a really simple tool, there is a big difference in cheaper and elite models. This difference can usually be found in the type of metal that they’re made of.

Smoking on a charcoal barbecue is really easy to do, especially if you are already comfortable barbecuing with indirect heat. Begin by filling a chimney starter about one-third full with briquettes. When they are fully lit, pour all of the charcoal on one side of the cooking grate (if desired, use a charcoal basket, which holds the coals close together so they burn more slowly) and place a large disposable foil pan on the other side. Turn your grill on at high temperature and preheat the box. Different smokers and grills take different lengths of time to get going, so there is no hard and fast rule here. A good rule is once you start seeing smoke coming from your box, dial down the heat to low and you’re good to go. What I really like about this one is its smoking potential. Its size means that its smoke output is extremely impressive, and surpasses most of the other boxes on this list.You can place the smoker either on the grate or below it. The box should be as close to the heat source as possible, so if you’re using a gas grill then place it right above the burners. The day had finally come, the much anticipated trip of a lifetime, a visit to Weber's home - Chicago!

Professional cleaning tools It’s a large box, which means that its wood chip capacity is excellent at three cups. This doesn’t just mean that you don’t have to replenish the fuel supply as much, but it also means that your smoking power output is far better.

As you can see, and my personal experiences have confirmed, soaking doesn’t seem to do anything except give people the false impression that the chips are producing more smoke for longer periods. What’s actually happening is that the wet chips produce steam until they are completely dry, then they start burning and producing smoke. So soaking your wood chips only delays the time it takes for the smoking process to start. How to Setup Your Grill For Smoking The key to a good smoker box is to not dominate the grill, and this box from Cave Tools fits the bill perfectly. Wondering which bbq accessories are best to start with, or what qualities they should have and how to clean or store them? Our FAQ can help you: What BBQ Accessories do I need for the start?

The patent alleges that the increased moisture content enables smoke to better adhere to food being cooked.
