Can Propane Smokers Grill And Smoke Food?
by Robert Blackmore
Propane is considered a reasonably clean fuel. It produces red, hot, dry heat, and burns without smoke. That makes it good for cooking food.
The name propane smoker is actually a misnomer since it does not actually smoke the meat especially when regular cooking is the method used.
Most barbecue restaurants add moist wood chips to the propane flame which then produces smoke to "smoke" the meat, adding a great deal of flavor.
Barbecue authorities are less than likely to be satisfied by this method. They consider a smoker to be genuine only if it uses charcoal or wood, and that it cooks food slowly for 10-12 hours at 180-250 degrees.
These days, grill dealers often label and sell propane gas grills as propane smokers. Unless you do plan to follow the cooking methods in barbecue restaurants, better choose the non-propane smoker.
One plus factor for the propane grill is its ability to produce good grilled or broiled food. Meat can be roasted at temperatures reaching 700 degrees (the optimum temperature for broiling) and at the same time allows the cook a great cooking experience as they would have with any other grill.
It is also good for roasting a whole chicken at a smaller amount of time compared to cooking on charcoal grills. However, chicken roasted on a charcoal grill will definitely have a wood smoke flavor and scent.
Traditionally, roasting and grilling has been done on wood fires that lend its flavor and smell to the food being cooked. Propane smokers cannot duplicate the chemical reactions that occur in food when it has been exposed to hot smoke for hours.
And remember, all smokers get hot, so avoid burning your hands by using <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Hellfire-BBQ-Withstanding-Professional-Satisfaction/dp/B00JYOAM7O/ie=UTF8?m=A18E8AFMO5HQZW&keywords=barbecue+gloves">barbecue gloves</a>.
