Hello from K-Town, NC

[sigrman069]

Hey everybody. My name is Gary and I've just registered as a member here. I'm writing from Kannapolis, NC. I've been a grilling nut for most of my life and believe you can grill most anytime. Including the cold winters in the northeast. I started out with charcoal many years ago and moved on to the more convenient gas grill. It's still important to me to impart a smoky flavor in whatever I'm grilling so depending on what I'm grilling, there will always be a chunk of wood or packet of wood chips. I just love that smell and eventual great taste. I'm hoping to learn some more tricks and secrets to great smoking and grilling. Again currently using a Weber Genesis gas grill (8 years old) and have my eye on a couple of different charcoal grills to add to my outdoor "kitchen". I look forward to reading your forums and hopefully participating. Keep cool y'all

Welcome Gary.  You will definitely learn a lot here.  You definitely can get some great results with a Weber Geneis or other gas grill with a smoke box and indirect heat.  If you hover over my name you can check on "threads started" and I have several posts that show some BBQ created on gas grills with an aluminum pan with wood chips (porkstravaganza, weekend of smoke part 1 and 2, Beer can chicken dance).  The results were excellent (but personally I think the charcoal results were a bit better).
