RE: Using BBQ as Smoker
That way will work in a pinch. It's more like baking though. Nothing beats a real smoker though. I bought my Char-Grillerat Loweswith the side fire box for less than $150. To smoke food you really need to have the fire as far away from the food as possible while still being able to "cook" the food.There's really not any meat that's easier to smoke than another. They all take roughly the same amount of time to smoke. They're not hard by any means though. It's all about time and temperature. One thing that you'll defnintely need will be a digital temperature/thermomator fork. These really work well. I only use the temperature gauge on the lid of the smoker as a rough estimate. If you have any more questions feel free to ask! Simp
