Would this work by attaching to side of a grill, and above the burners/grill rack, like into a rotisserie opening? or grills other than Weber? I've notice that my grill sides look like their ceramic coated, not sure this would work.

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

I think it should work fine with a weber, we have an outdoor gourmet grill and it works on it. Hope this helps

I successfully mounted the brackets on the side of Weber Kettle grill and use it with a "Fill It and Grill It Rotisserie Basket" to roast chili peppers. I'm sure it would work equally well cooking things on the spit with out the basket. The nice thing is the small motor housing slips right off and is stored in a drawer so it's not exposed to the weather. I'm usually dissatisfied with anything that people sell me anymore but I really like this product.

No, this smoke generator needs to be below the burners, or it can be used as a pre-smoker, or a cold smoker. Then it can be mounted on the side above the burner to smoke the meat first then grill it. I may get a second one to mount on the side just for that purpose...

Juan, Off hand I can't tell you. I can tell you that the casters "wheels" on my Weber are larger than what was shipped. So, you might ask yourself...the dummy ordered the wrong parts. That's what I thought until I re-read what Caster/Insert information and it listed my model as one of the models the caster inserts would fit. Where are we today? Since Weber has told me through one of their customer service reps, " We have the casters you want but we no longer carry the inserts for the legs of the grill." I told him the casters won't do anybody any good if they have a broken insert that the casters push into. That was kind of a Daaaaa moment for him. Necessity is the mother of invention... I have made my own set of inserts out of wood, and purchase a set have rolling casters from Home Depot. Works better than the original and a damn side cheaper than having to purchase a brand new grill. Just finished two very nice salmon fillets.. :-) Cheers, Scott Davis

It can..... depends how you want to grill after its in. If you want to grill with a 2 zone it will work with out a problem. If you want to do indirect with a 3 zone then it may not work as well, but it will still work. Just the side with the smokinator may not get the same air flow as the other side. I may have to give it a try and see. And direct no problem with it in.

I believe that you could. If you choose to leave the side shelves off, the sides of this grill are then flat. As far as clearance on the back side, it is also flat however you must allow room for the lid of the grill to be lifted up which will pass the back side of the grill. I would also keep in mind the counter that you are considering and any potential radiant heat that will come from the fire-box of the grill itself. You may want to explore the www.Weber.com web-site and look at grills that are dedicated to being "built-in".

I had the same problem because the metal disk on the right side of the grilling rack. It has little bumps on it that are supposed to fit into matching indentations in the side of the grill itself. There is a spot to hold it flat, and another spot to hold it slightly tilted. On mine, the metal disc was bent so the bumps didn't fully engage the indents. I tried to straighten it out myself, but couldn't. Contacted MECO, and after seeing pictures & my description of the problem sent me a whole new handle/heating element/grill rack piece. Once I replaced it, everything worked as it should. Of course there is also the possibility you installed it in the wrong hole on the left side of the grill, and it won't work. Apparently this is very common, since their customer service was pretty sure that was the problem until I sent them pictures showing it was installed correctly.

The infrared burner is for the rotisserie. It is not in use when you are grilling on the surface. It is not in the way of the traditional burners and does not make use any different. I have not yet used the infrared burner yet but I put it on once by mistake while grilling and was wondering why the polish sausage I was cooking was going so fast. When I discovered it I just turned the infrared burner off.

It does on my grill. I have a char broil grill. My rotisserie is adjustable so I can mount it higher. The basket is 7" wide so it only need 4 inches above the grate to have enough room to turn. It does a good job making barbecue chicken and ribs.

You just set the Mangrate on top of the existing grate. It's not a "replacement" grate. I assume your Weber will be big enough to accommodate them. I'm using them on a very small table-top gas grill.

Yes you can use it. Are you going to cover the rotisserie with the lid of the grill to make a sort or oven? If yes then choose an small rotisserie, there is no room for a large one. If you are not going to cover the rotisserie with the lid of the grill then no problem but remember that the charcoal fire always will smoke the sides and bottom of the rotisserie so choose better a grey color rotisserie.

It' only dosnt work for gas tops that have the middle burner... No where for the legs to go ... Having said that I emailed them after placing my order with my order info and asked them to remove the legs on mine... Which the gladly did... Works like a charm on my all grate gass grill top

I don't think it is really designed for that. Picture it as a big flat pan with no side walls. We also have the one with the ridges that is designed for grilling. It works well.

I just smoked two full racks a couple of weekends ago. I used a Weber rib rack on the lower grill, and this held 3 half-racks upright, and I laid the last half rack flat on the upper grill. All were spaced far enough apart to get smoked and came out great. You could probably use another rib rack on the upper grill to get 3+ full racks done, but it'll be a tight fit at that point.
