HOWTO: Use Wood Chips with Gas Grills
2 Comments Grilled on by gm April 18th, 2006 in Grilling Tips, HOWTO, SmokologyGrilling with wood chips is one of the great secrets in barbecue and getting that smoky flavor into the meat is something most weekend grill maestros don’t often do. That being said, grilling with wood chips in charcoal is a relatively easy task – you simply sprinkle the chips in with the charcoal and the flavor is passed on.
Grilling with wood chips on a gas fueled grill is a wholly different matter. The reason is because you can’t put the wood chips right onto the burners… they’d char up, burn, and you’d be out some nice wood chips. The solution then is to get a smoker box or some heavy duty tin foil and put them on the metal plates before you light the grill.
It’s an easy four step process:
1. Soak the wood chips for a minimum of thirty minutes before use.
2. Put the chips in a smoker box or some heavy duty foil pouch (poke holes in it).
3. Put the smoker box or foil pouch onto the metal plates of your grill (but underneath the grill).
4. Light the grill.
Enjoy a bit of smokology in your next bbq feast!
