Smoking Using Gas

This problem has been resolved recently by the advent of a slide-out smoker box with a dedicated burner. The box is a long slender drawer you open and fill with wood chips. The dedicated burner makes smoking a snap, because you can run a high heat under the chips to make smoke—even while you’re maintaining the low to moderate heat on the rest of the grill needed for low and slow smoking. From the consumer’s point of view, the best position for the smoker box is on one side of the grill, not in the center. When the smoker box is in the center, the heat it produces can interfere with indirect grilling.
