Anyone smoke on a gas grill?

Honestly it produces greater results Than traditional pellet or charcoal smokers. Most people won't do the research on how to do it right....it takes a few times of trial and error but if you stick with it you'll be doing 50 to 75 hour long smokes with no problem....just make sure you have plenty of propane.

I have the gas line run to my grill underground so doing a 2 or 3 day smoke is no problemo and the coyote 36 inch stainless makes a long smoke as easy as pie.

I do feel for folks up north with access to gas mains.

Looks like you ran the vents wide open on the firebox?

When all I had was a smaller gas grill I purchased a V-shaped smoker that sits in between the gas grates. I'd turn on the heat just on the side with the wood chips, wait for smoke, then load up the indirect side with chicken wings. Very convenient and I loved the way they turned out.

Not really. It was a modest gas grill because I was temporarily in an apartment complex that would not allow charcoal grills on the porches/patios, nor did I want to take any chances with the flames. Since it wasn't very big, it was perfect for either chicken wings as mentioned above, or simply grilling. It wouldn't have housed anything large for a long cook. It really did do the trick though and gave wings a nice smokey flavor.

Smoking on a gas grill in an apartment complex is one of those things that's frowned upon, but not impossible. Like kissing your cousin, IMO.

industrial exhaust fans

You bring up a great point. While not essential, highly recommended. For people unable to run a commercial exhaust, especially inside an apartment complex, a series of Hunter oscillating fans will get the job done.

You just have to make sure the bearing stays greased in the rotator mechanism, or you'll lose that 180° of oscillation, which as you know, is key for a 72 hour smoke job. I recommend this model:

When we moved shop inside we were pretty much limited to 8 or 10 hour smokes max which wasn't ideal but we made do.

There was a faint hint of the smoke smell lingering in the drywall..the ceilings....bathrooms and in the furniture apholstry and most of our clothes but we would just leave the windows open with fans on for a couple of weeks after the smoke and it got rid of most of it

I'll be in San Antonio next week and will check a couple of spots there. I've good luck in that city finding hunters.

No question. You put the time in, the results speak for themselves.
