Will I be able to use this grill as a smoker also? If yes, do I need to buy a smoking attachment?

naw you dont need any attachments just a big cup put hickory chips in it and soak them in hot water about 5-10 min before you put your meat on grill. Get A handful of chips put it in the coals close the hatch and open the stack and watch it smoke....hope this helps you out....Ronnie

We have used the BBQ for the last year. It is a good smoker as well. But as with any piece of equioment it tkaes some practice to get it right. I wouold buy another.. even though it was a pain to put together in the form of time. it is a good buy.

Yes....this is a great grill. I have been doing a lot of smoking in it. It takes getting used to it. But it is very versatile

You will need a separate heat source, as this item only produces smoke. ( and a tiny bit of heat due to the pellets smoldering )

You can definitely use the A-maze-n smoker in a gas grill. You just have to be careful not to place the smoker directly over the heat source. It has to smolder and not catch on fire.

Hi Hessie,Yes, you can use this indoors with caution, of course. However, keep in mind the smoke will be not only from the coals/biomass but from what you are cooking. If you use the propane adapter its less smoke. Make sure you have ample space to place the grill and enough ventilation. I hope this helps. Good luck and enjoy. Aloha, Al

Yes this the way I used it, but you will need to purchase the charcoal filters to cut down on smoke & cooking smells!

You can use the chips, however, you may want to grind them down to almost saw dust which works perfectly with this smoker. Saw dust might be a little harsh but you don't want them to be chunky!

yes or no it is not completely smokeness just a little bit. I can say is acceptable standard. make sure after use put grill on low heat use paper towel and water only very easy to clean

This is a "cooker", not just a smoker. It came with a grill attachment that cooks just like a charcoal grill. Makes the best smoked foods I have ever had and we owned a big green egg in the past.

Yes. i'm assuming that you could use wood in it. It is a small hibatchi style grill. It is solid cast iron so it weighs like 49 lbs. Solid as a rock. I would use small pieces of wood and flip the top over to use the "high" side of the grill, as wood might flair up more than charcoal. Adjust also the air vent in front to control flame up. I have put small chunks of wet wood mesquite on top and the side of the charcoal to smoke/flavor the meat when I'm cooking. I soak the mesquite wood in water for several hours so that it gets smoky (for flavor).

it will be just fine as a table top grill. as you've noticed most table top grills are simply small versions of domed classics such as the Weber Smokey Joe. others feature cute fold up sides rendering them something looking like an attache case. now these are easily portable, but they have nothing that enhances air movement if you cover your goodies. this unit is simply a small barrel grill with a nice adjustable vent on the side. it's actually quite spacious for a table top and the feet are substantial. i'm using mine as the heat and smoke source attached to a much larger barrel grill also by Char-Griller, as there are bolt holes and the vent that make connecting directly to the larger barrel a breeze. however, detached it's a nice small table top unit. what makes it portable is the modest weight, but you'll need both hands as there is no handle. it's cute and it works.

This thing is the best, u can use it as a stand alone smoker but it will not cook ur food just put smoke flavor in it, also known as cold smoking. As for lighting it just use one of those little propane torches that plumbers use it's easy to get going just make sure ii blow on it to get the pellets lit. And with it packed full I get 4-6hrs of continuous smoke excellent buy for 20$

It can be used as a smoker. As a matter of fact, I had so much trouble maintaining proper temperature with my offset smoker that I gave it away and use my pit barrel instead. For more information try http://www.pitbarrelcooker.com

It's an outdoor grill, so smoking shouldn't be a problem. You can't use it indoors, obviously.

Hi Peter, The Smokemeister works extremely well when mounted slightly below the cooking grate. There needs to be enough air flow through the grilling chamber along with a vent for it to effectively generate a significant amount of smoke. I have it mounted on a charcoal hot smoker and am impressed with its ability to truly cold smoke salmon etc. A gas grill as you describe might be more difficult to make an attachment. The smoke tends to rise depending on the ventilation so mounted above the grill rack would not produce a quantity of smoke compared to mounted below the rack. Ernest K

This smoker needs to be seasoned before you use it. I added a different thermometer to the front after seasoned and it's no big deal. Seing the doors in my opinion is a waste of time and money. I read reviews suggestions dealing doors etc so I bought the tape for the door seams. I used the smoker and felt the smoke that escapes the deans is not a issue because it conducts plenty of smoke and heat for the meat. Buy a BBQ basket as suggested in the review for the charcoal tray. Fits perfectly and the charcoal pans provided do not breath. I use the pan for a "ash catcher" at the bottom. Hope this helps.

Although I haven't tried this, I suppose you can take out the middle section and place the grate on top of the charcoal ring. Weber offers a bbq grill that can also be used for smoking, I have a friend who has one and it smokes very well. If you are going to do more grilling than smoking that might be a better choice. Hope that helps.
