re: Anyone use Smoker boxes on gas grill?

can you actually smoke a good larger piece of meat using only the smoke box on the gas grill?

it depends on the grill


most gas grills are too well vented and aren't good at maintaining temperature, especially lower temperatures typically needed for slow cooking meat

they also don't trap the smoke too well

i would recommend a weber kettle or some type of dedicated smoking rig


i have an electric smoker which is very easy to use and inexpensive...but I also use my chargriller kamado a good bit lately

i find using actual charcoal to be a little more challenging and fun
