yup, right after the fire goes out. Gassers shouldn't be
used for doing "low and slow" they aren't designed for that
use. Wanna grill? Use the gasser, wanna smoke? Buy a smoker
such as the WSM or other unit that's designed for that purpose.

Sometimes I lie awake at night, and I ask, "Where have I
gone wrong?" Then a voice says to me, "This is going to take
more than just one night"

Some are designed for that use. Setting the back burner of my Genesis
to its low setting 190F. I left it on for a weekend, still had gas
left, and the temp was 190 as it was 2 days earlier...
Had a Bandera, it was a mess. Very diff to clean, crudely made. Found
the weber smoker attachment about $70 to smoke just as good, get nice
smoke ring and I've smoked dozens of delicious brisket and some of the
best smoked trout I've tasted. I've been using a genesis for the last
14 yrs. It maintains a set temp very well. I use a DCS grill for
grilling. The weber for eveything else, including a 23 lb stuffed bird
last month.
I agree there are prob more efficient smokers. But put that weber
smoker access on a genesis, and it works great.

Well, I'm not sure who you're replying too given that you
chose to not include any of the prior post but given the
"gist" of your post, I'll "assume" that it's a reply to my
post earlier.

You're absolutely right. It will work fine. Until you do
enough ribs and brisket (assuming that you're really smoking
them at around 225-250dF) and the bottom of the grill builds
enough grease to catch on fire. You'll understand using the
right equipment for the proper job when that happens to you,
as it did to me.

Trust me, it *will* happen unless you scrape the bottom of
the Weber out after about 2 or 3 uses as a "smoker" which
it's not. The "smoker" attachment works ok to give a hint
of smoke to grilling but I'd still advise against using it
to do any amount of real smoking.

Been there, done that and bought the t-shirt. It doesn't work that easy; it
takes far more work than you're willing to admit, and it produces an
inferior 'Q to boot. But this ain't worth my time to argue, if said all
that I need to on this dumb subject.

I had to reconstruct this thread to see what the heck you were replying too.
Since you continue to refuse to make the context of your replies easily
readable by including a bit of the text to which you are replying, you now
are part of my bozo bin.

Likewise regarding the bin. I never said it wasn't work. Need to
keep an eye on the water pan and wood bin. But a delicious , slow
cooked smoked brisket sure as hell is not rocket science. Not here in
Texas, anyway.

You're using Google Groups--I know that there's a 'quote previous
post' (or similar name) option. I suggest you use it, else nobody
will read your posts. It's polite to quote some quantity of what
you're replying to.
