Smoke Bomb.. for all you NONE pellet grill users!

[chris becker]

I get quite a few asks about using our pellets in any type of grill. I tell people to make a Smoke Bomb. Take about 12" x 12" chunk of heavy duty foil and put 1/2 cup of pellets in it. then close it up tight into a ball. Now take a pen or pencil and poke 1 hole in it... jiggle it around so it is a bit larger and pull out. Now place that ball , hole side up over your heat source, flames, hot coals, what have you and when it starts smoking throw on your food and pull back the heat to half /medium and finish to a safe temp.

Now, once you've got that down and your happy with the results you can move on to something more durable and long lasting then a single use ball of foil to put our pellets in.

Yea Chris this is the method I used for years with my gas water smokers, it had a layer of briquettes above the gas burner and just threw them on there. It worked. Don

Hey Don, How ya doing... The blog looks good as always. I started playing with smoke bombs when I first got my first pellet grill 9 years ago... Used them on my ol Ducane gasser.

I recommend this method, too. Works great and it's a pretty easy way to get good, blue smoke.

[chris becker]

Agreed! Also for you first timers it will create a TON of smoke so don't be surprised.

Works good with chips in a pinch too.

One of my grills (I especially like for last minute cooks) is a CharBroil G2G. There is a trough under the grates and above the burner. I like to toss a handfull of pellets in the trough as I pre-heat the grill (propane.) Not a lot of "control" but as I get to know the various pellets I can adjust how many I add and when so it works well. Lookin' forward to trying these!

I wish all grills were made with a pellet pocket!

David,  I'm with you on lack of control with using chips or pellets in the G2G grill.   As soon as I shake this dang flu and get a nice day I got another mod in the works for that grill.   

I have a smoke device that I have been wanting to add to it for sometime and almost anyone can do it.
