Hello Everyone,
My name is Alex Hart from Meridian, Idaho. My wife and I appreciate good food and like to cook & grill but we're newbies when it comes to smoking. I'm in the trial and error stage right now.. made some rookie mistakes with my first couple of attempts and I'm here to learn from...
So smoke for a while at lower temps then stop the smoke and raise the temps to finish? Remember, this is not a full on smoking type of cooking I'm talking about. I'm just BBQing chicken and want to give it some flavor without having to cook for several hours.
Here's another question... Since I'm using a propane gas grill and not a traditional smoker.. (Smoke is being produced on its own in the pellet tube) does the temperature matter? Should the temp be set lower while the chicken is taking on the smoke or can I continue to cook at 350 degrees?
How about if I start the smoke a little later in the cooking process when the meat has taken a light sear and the marinade has dried a little? Wouldn't that kinda be the consistency of dry rub at that point?
Thanks everyone. I'll make the adjustments you suggested and try again. I think the total cook time was about 45 minutes or so on the grill. The burners were all running on low.. I had the chicken on the grates until they seared/charred slightly and then I moved them to the upper shelf and kept...
The temp with the grill cover on was around 350 degrees. I was roasting the chicken rather than slow cooking. I added the smoke tube in there just to add some flavor. The pellets burn on their own with no influence from the flames. Does the temperature matter?
Hey Everyone,
Newbie here so go easy on me. Currently I'm living in an apartment with restrictions on the types of grills we can use. I can have a propane grill but no charcoal grills or smokers. I got approval to use a pellet tube in my propane grill (similar to the one in the picture below)...
