Could grill be used as a low temperature smoker i.e Is there room between the element and grill to place a wood chips smoker box?

There is only 3/4" between the top of the heating element and the underside of the grilling rack. The rack is removable when you use the rotisserie.

Yes but watch the heat. Like the other response I mix lump charcole and wood chips.great smoke flavor.

I put chunks of wood in the box but it is not REAL big and is limited to the size of wood. It is the first I have owned and I absolutely love this smoker for the price.

Depends on the size of your container and the temp of where you are using it. I'm gonna say that in general the answer to your question will be a definite "no". But if you are using a real small smoker and it's warm outside, it's possible. This is designed to be a cold smoker, though...not for heat.

The first responder gave good advice. Don't forget to close the lid on the grill to aid engulfing meat in smoke. You will only get a light Smokey flavor added to foods, this does NOT convert your grill into a real smoker. By cooking at a lower temp, the foods stay in smoke longer. This device is for enhancing flavor. How much time depends upon your taste preference. The first rule to smoking is LOW ( temp ) and SLOW ( cooking time ). This unit seems to produce more smoke from pellets than chips. Windy conditions can reduce foods being engulfed in smoke. IF, you only grill on max heat, this might not be for you.

Linda,I put a small handful of dry wood chips in it, place cover on it, and set the entire box under the Cooking Grate on top of the Burners. It's a close fit. Dave G.

Yes but I would not use the wood chips in the house unless you used it on the stove with a high capacity hood to get the smoke out. On the grill outside it does not make a difference. I don't use it much. I have an Egg that does a great job of smoking anything. If all you use outside is a grill, then this will work. I thought that it would be a quick alternative to the Egg, it was , but not near as good. The idea of a small chamber to concentrate flavors is good, but would take more time to learn than i care to give it.

My husband puts it in the offset box on the side, in the bottom of that box. No wood goes in the main smoker section.

I'd say you should use a smoker box. They aren't expensive at all. I would never throw these in a gas grill; perhaps a charcoal one, but even then I'd use a smoker box. If you don't want to purchase one, you could wrap some wet chips up in foil and just poke some holes in it.

I have used wood with charcoal to grill and I really like that but I've not tried only smoking. There is good air control on the bottom and on the lid, so it might be possible if you set the air flow correctly. Good Luck

The charcoal side works as a smoker. Just add the what ever flavor "smoker" chips you like and you can smoke any kind of meat.

I do nt see why not. It even comes with a little wood chip box for the grill. Do not hold me liable, but i would think it would be fine. � The chips are not real big either..

You can buy a smoker box if you want. I suggest looking online for wood chip ideas and use heavy duty aluminum foil and wrap the wood chips, poke holes in foil also. and set them over your coals or your gas grill fie. Good luck...

Technically you can do either. You will get better smoke if you put it under the grates directly on the heat source. You might not get enough heat above the grates to generate smoke on some grills.

You can definitely use the A-maze-n smoker in a gas grill. You just have to be careful not to place the smoker directly over the heat source. It has to smolder and not catch on fire.

Not easily. The heat element is in the unit where the food also is. If you are careful about the temp, smoke could be started then the heat element stopped, I guess.

It depends on how thick your food is. The tray sits on top of the wood chips and you just need to be sure that you can still slide the cover of the smoker over everything. Also, the granulated ones get smokey a lot faster. Other than that, I don't see why not.
