Get Better Flavor from your Gas Grill
How to get Better Flavor from your Gas Grill!
I love cooking over a real fire and wood, but sometimes it’s easier to cook off a gas grill. But one thing you lose by not cooking over wood is that great flavor wood gives when grilling. Well, in this episode we’re showing you an easy trick to turn your gas grill into a smoker and get better flavored food when grilling.

Little suggestion for my fellow gas grillers, or anyone in general: save your steak fat strips, and use them to grease the hot grates. Imparts a great flavor, helps clean the grids, and does a better job that any spray I've found.

@@seancarson7222 Yes. If you do it as the grates are heating up, then it just cooks off. I still give the food a little "shake" to make sure it doesn't stick, but it's probably not necessary.

Tried the lime juice marinate and did the mesquite gas grill hack yesterday. Awesome result ! Thanks Cowboy Ken !
This man is genuine and authentic. Love his videos. Always great instructions
I'll have to try this sometime when I need to cook fast. My wife and I have been cooking over charcoal with then add oak chunks for over 7 years or so in an original Weber. She loves it so much she even learned how to cook over charcoal and/or wood. She never had a medium rare steak either now she can't go back to well done. Everything you say is true I'll tell you what! lol!

Thanks for the tip Mr. Rollins. I've never done anything myself in the Gas Grill but that was my main concern on how to get the same charcoal taste.
Excellent. Really enjoy your videos, they inspire me to cook even more. Looking forward to the next one.

This is the BEST method I've seen for adding smoke flavor to a gas grill. If you want to avoid the flare up you can spray the oil on the meat instead of the grill

Thought you were grillin some vegan steaks for a sec 😂
Yummy !! The smoked hard wood really brings out the flavor... I cook a bunch on a gas grill & the mesquite rub works excellent..Thanks for sharing !
You can also buy or make smoke boxes and use wood chips or pellets.
Its so interesting how there's different cultures among Americans. I lived in Oklahoma for bout 5 years and moved up here to Illinois, everyone is so different.
Thank you for all of your tips. I can hardly wait to try them.
Been using oak on beef brisket for years, one day I didn't have any oak soaked in water, so I cut some green oak threw it in the smoker and never looked back. Just gotta peel the bark off it. It's really acidic. Also juniper works really well with beef and pork. Thanks for the tips! God bless.
I do something similar. Using wood chips soak them and wrap in foil. poke some holes in the top of the foil and stick it right on top of the burner under the grate on one side. Cook as normal. Works like a champ.
Why/how I've never heard or thought of this before is beyond me. Great tip, thank you sir! Glad to have found your channel.

So nice right here. I was looking for this exact method for my gas grill. Thank you sir -cL
Looked darn good! I will have to try that Kent!!
I've been throwing down wood chunks in my gas grill for over 20 years. I've tried all different ways including this way. However...The fastest and simplest way is to use smaller thinner DRY chunks or thick slivers (have not tried pellets) and keep them on the outer edges adding more pieces as you go along. It just makes a little bit of ash which blows out of your gas grill easily. No soaking, no smoldering wood left on the grill, much time saved, and the results are just as good. If you don't like ash in your gas grill, putting wood chips or slivers in a foil pouch with holes in it works well too. You only need smoke for 3 to 8 minutes - the time it takes to grill a 1" thick steak. I can have great smoke tinged steaks on the table within 15-20 minutes upon firing up the gas grill using my technique. I use this method year round - rain, snow, heatwave.
I have a Weber Silver gas grille and I love it. I soak the wood chips and stick them in a little foil container and put them on the grate to get a good smoke flavor when grilling steak and chicken. It is so much more convenient than a charcoal grille. 😎
That's some great tips right there, thanks for makin' this video Kent!

I might have to take a road trip so I can try grilling with some of those southern woods. Mesquite, pecan, and hickory trees can't handle the winters up here. Sugar maple, alder and beech are my usual woods for smoking and grilling. Many people swear by apple. My choices for fruit woods are pear, cherry and mountain ash. Just last week I picked up a black walnut limb from a storm damaged tree. I might try using some of it in the smoker.
They make a long smoker box that fits under the grates and sits between two deflector shields. My other trick is I found out when I turn a grate sideways it fits perfectly down in the cavity of the grill just above the burners. I bought ceramic briquettes and place them on that grate and got a replacement grate to go back on top. This cuts down on flame ups and more importantly when fat or juices fall off your meat it vaporizes on the briquettes instead of just dropping to the bottom of the grill and becoming gunk. Much more natural smoke flavor.
Now thats cool Kent I never thought of that thank you
Great tip, like always. Keep em coming Kent!! That's a good lookin' pooch you got there buddy.

THIS is America. Stumbled upon your videos, but they're tonic for the soul, sir. Thank you!
I do the same type of thing with oak branches setting on the side of my 15 year old charbroil. I keep replacing the worn out parts with handmade parts. Even if I am just grilling asparagus or squash that smoke makes it right. Also, I once was horrified when a woman took a scouring pad to a skillet I got seasoned right. So I understand the passion for good cast iron. Love the videos and look forward to watching more of them.

I haven't bought a grill in over 10 years and I've always used charcoal but seeing this video makes me rethink the gas possibilities. I may go ahead and pull the trigger on a gas grill just for the convenience. Much love from Mobile Alabama

A tuna can that has been rinsed out makes a great holder for mesquite chips. Place it on top of the briquettes under the cooking surface and wet it down. The spray trigger bottle works great when it catches fire.
Me and my one of my friends have been doing this yeah yeah that makes everything taste good
Thanks for sharing your video I really enjoy your videos.
I was the 3000th like! Looking forward to following your advice while I transition from charcoal to gas!
That's a great idea. Never thought of using wood on my gas grill. I have a really good gas grill but prefer wood myself. Well thats an experiment for next summer. Its a little chilly here in the UK right now and my neighbours might think I am a bit mad having a barbecue now.
Love the dog and the tip. I think this will work on carcoalas well. Thanks.

I'm a new one for grilling. My friends say they prefer charcoal grilled food, but I'm not ready to experience all that. So, thanks for your suggestion here. :)
Kent, this is the second time I've contacted you and it's because you are bloody good mate. Try the same thing with a pizza in the gas BBQ and I'm sure you'll like it. I use an Aussie wood called Apple Box or Apple Gum which is a eucalyptus but when I use the hot smoker with pickled chicken or pickled pork I',m in heaven! More power to you!

My weber gas grill has a built-in smoke box, I bought this model of Genesis especially for the smoke box. It works great with pellets or soaked wood chips mixed with some dry. I wish weber would still make those Weber Special edition Genesis gas grill. The wood box is on the left side of the grill sitting across all 3 horizontal burners and it opens from the top so you refill it as needed while you cook. Before I had that propane grill. I used aluminum foil pouches filled with wood chips and put them directly over the burners , it worked in a pinch.
Greetings from Australia Kent. I’m gonna try that when I barbecue next. I used to use hard eucalyptus wood, soaked and thrown on a grill just above the burners but below the cooking grill. Infuses a beautiful flavour but the wood catches fire too quickly. Although I love the wood burner barbecues, our weather makes hot work out of dinner. But then, the pool gets a workout then.🇦🇺👍
Great tutorial. My mother in law just got a new gas grill and I'm going to try this method.

Thank you for this video, I was just telling my lady friend that I prefer charcoal or wood grilling over propane any day because the flavor is so much better, but this gives me a great option for propane with flavor. I've spoken to some people about the flavor difference of propane vs the traditional BBQ, some people actually can't tell the difference - must have dead taste buds! Ha! Keep on grilling, Ken!

Always soak your wood chunks, I always had some soaking, days on end so it was just a quick pick out of the soaker box tray sand straight to the fire. By all means, allow it to get to a good burn, spritz out the flames and smoke away.
I think I just drooled on my shirt. Man does that look good.
