Hot Tips > Smoke With A Regular Gas or Charcoal Grill

If you want to experiment with real smoke flavour, without investing in a smoker, try using the following:

1. Cast Iron Smoker Box
2. A couple handfuls of (presoaked) wood

• Pre-soak the wood 2 hours to overnight, in water (wine or beer for the gourmet).
• Place 2 handfuls of pre-soaked wood chips in a cast iron smoker box.
• Place the box on top of the rocks/charcoal/bars in you gas or charcoal grill.
• As the barbecue heats up, the chips will begin to smolder.
• Place food on the cooking grill, and with lid closed, cook and refill wood as necessary (the more wood, the stronger the smokey flavour).

Woods and smoker boxes are available at Sobies!
