Your barbecue grill may also be used as a smoker by trying a smoke box or aluminum foil packets and aromatic & savory wood chips.
The instructions were pretty easy depending on what you are barbecuing.
In a clean dry bucket mix 4 cups (adjust for cooking time) of wood chips of our choice with 4 cups (adjust for amount of chips used) of water or wine let them stand 25 -45 minutes. Then drain off excess and save if there is any. Now mix 4 cups of dry wood chips of your choice in with the wet chips.
Take out the wood chip mixture, and put it directly into the smoke box, the dry chips with help get the flames going, and ignite the wet chips. If you have a large cut of meat that needs longer cook time, you can wet the chips with more liquid.
Place a pan of water 2 cups or the remaining liquid you saved just below the grill where the meat will cook on the grill. This will keep large cuts of meat to keep them moist and delicious when cooking thick cuts of meat.
Use the wet / dry wood chip mixture for cooking chicken recipes, smokey ribs, tasty roasts, thick steaks or anything which will be cooking for at least twenty minutes on the grill.
Now take charcoal without lighter fluid, and place the charcoal on each side of the wood chip box. Light the coals and get them hot, now light the wood mixture, and get it smoking. Put on the meat, close the grill, and monitor the grill temp keeping it at around 190 degrees using a thermometer.
Same process, but use only dry wood chips for cooking more delicate foods like fish, thin cuts of beef, thin cuts of chicken, basically anything that will cook in a short amount of time.
Cooking for longer periods of time will maximize the smokey and savory flavors of the wood.
For safety reasons it always advised to use thermometer to ensure the cuts of meat have cooked all of the way through to the right temperature.
You may enjoy the new aromatic flavors that can be created with different types of wood, and meat combination, you might take a break from traditional grilling every now and then.
WHAT KIND OF WOOD TO USE:
Mesquite wood gives your steak or your salmon a strong flavour, while oak or hickory adds a totally various flavor. The very first thing to do is find a location where there will be as little traffic as possible. Usually cooking with a grill as a smoker will take time and sometimes the grill will be left abandoned so it should be in an area the house and children. Weather can play a role in using your grill as wind conditions can send smoke in the direction of the house or interfer with outside activities.
Warm the wood for a minimum of an half an hour. People who know the way to employ a grill smoker will tell you the key to making the best meals is to understand just how long to heat the wood, and how much wood should be added to the wood box when you start. You would like the wood to burn at a pleasant even temperature. This takes some practice so don’t despair if you do not get it right the 1st time.
The more you use the grill as a smoker the better you may become at deciding when the temperature of the wood is correct. Once the wood has been entirely heated, you are able to add your food.
You choose between tons of numerous kinds of wood to give your food flavour, you may experiment on smoking heaps of numerous kinds of foods. Cooks who know the way to employ a grill smoker to their advantage not only smoke more than one sort of beef at a time ( try smoking a turkey and steak at the same time ) they also try different foods.
Wait until you try chili, and my favorite smoked salmon bisque in your smoker! Seriously, after you understand how to employ a grill as a smoker, there’s a totally new arena of cooking experiences waiting for you!
