Does this grill provide a smoky flavor to meats like briquettes or flavor bars would?

No, the heat source is propane gas. However, we are fully satisfied with the results. Heat control is even and easy with thermometer on lid, and the thick grill bars retain heat.

What I do is take my mesquite wood chips, set in a tinfoil tray, dampen them, then fold the tinfoil up, but not tightly. The smoke pours out! This is the best light machine. But I will say this ... and I read it in the reviews and poopoo-ed. Spring for the cart. Truly only 4 screws to put together. I bought mine in 2009 and it is still going strong. It fits nicely on a atio endtable. It's low and you can sit and grill. hehe.

No, I use charcoal and then add hardwood "chunks" (not chips) that I purchase from a Walmart and they really add to the flavor of the meat I smoke in my Dyna-Glo. Just be sure and soak them in water for a couple of hours before you get started. That way they will smolder rather than burn up. You can get hickory, mesquite, cherry, apple, and other hardwood chunks for different flavors.

There isn't a charcoal taste unless I add liquid smoke to the meats. I really don't miss not having a charcoal grill.

Certainly, or hardwoods, or briquettes. Just make sure you let them all burn down to coals to avoid any unpleasant flavors. A handful of soaked wood chips or chunks can be tossed on for plenty of smoky flavor.

No. The grill functions only as a grill powered by either gas or charcoal. I don't know anything about accessories or making it into a smoker.

No......this has a good sized exhaust hole at the top that allows the steam to escape. The meat I cook in this unit has a nice bark and smoke ring.

Never used that type grill. A fair amount of air flow is needed to keep the smoke going.

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

Not really. It doesn't get hot enough I've noticed to give a good sear on food thus lacking in some flavor and obviously texture. Works well for veggies and burgers and fish but steaks are the weak point for our use.

I didn't use them in a smoker, just in a regular grill, the flavor comes through nicely on anything!

no because of the carbon monoxide and the smoke. it gets to be smokeless but when first starting it is smoky like all other wood burners

For the cooking process, you need the heat from your grill. The smoker adds the smoke needed for the smoking process. Yes, you add pellets to the smoker. There are many different kinds of pellets and chips to get the desired smoke taste you want. IE. Apple, mesquite, pecan. It is a great addition to our grill and get the smoke you want, with out have to have an additional large piece of equipment.Hope this helps. We are very happy with our purchase

Its designed for Kingsford charcoal however I have used mesquite and hickory wood chips once the coals get ashed over. It adds a real nice smoke to the meat but even without chips the flavor is great.

I have not tried that but i see someone else has and said it worked great just did not have the smokiness from the grill.

Not at all. Better yet, it won't taste of charcoal lighter fluid either. the gas burns without odor or taste. Additionally, I only use the gas long enough to get the coals going so food is not on the grill when the gas is on. I do a ton of grilling (meats and a LOT of veggies)...this grill is perfect. -Charlie

If your smoker accepts smoking wood pellets then yes! I've tried a bunch of different brands and these give off the best smoke flavor. I currently use a char grill electric side box smoker and these have given me competition BBQ!
