I bought a smoker from Walmart for $40 (it's a charcoal grill also) for a cheap grill and never expected jack from the smoker. But I have used it a few times, and the smoking quality is actually quite good.

Will it compare to a real smoker absolutely not, but for what Rob is doing it will absolutely get it done.

my buddy sent this to me today. http://www.amazingribs.com/tips_and_technique/gas_grill_setup.html

look about a quarter down the page; the author describes smoking techniques with a conventional propane grill. I'll have to give it a shot.
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

looks like it is definately worth a try at the very least. Seems like this guy knows what he is doing.

I'm questioning the flavor. A smoked piece of meat gets its flavor from, well the smoke and also from the wood used. In a smoker the smoke carries the flavor of the burn, being charcoal. You typically don't use just the wood but rather water soaked wood placed on the hot coals. To use propane you are relying very heavily on the wood to flavor the meat.

Now to the average person, it will probably pass. But to any fan of smoked meats they will (and possibly even you yourself) expect a certain thing from smoked meat that will be lacking under a gas grill setup.

By all means try it, wood and foil pans are dirt cheap. I'm curious, just unsure.

oh baby...i just got back from a trip to Austin, and i really want to learn how do to this right.  i've only tried a couple of times, and they both dried out.  It's a lot harder than a pork shoulder.

I love the taste of brisket but every time I get it at a restaurant it ends up cold so fast :(

i don't know if I ever had brisket done quite like the article describes it. I went to a BBQ joint a few weeks ago and it was nothing like it!

I checked at costco yesterday and they have some USDA choice brisket for $3.89/lb - but the smallest one I found was just shy of 10 pounds :D it will be a big party.

They were good. Bones were falling off as I was pulling the slabs from the grill.
