I have had a Weber Q 220 for about 6 months, which I have enjoyed a lot. The one thing I do miss compared to charcoal is the smokey taste.
My understanding is that there a couple of options for adding smoke to a gas grill, and wanted to know what would be the best option for a weber q.
1) You can use the smoker box, which obviously isn't an option in this case.
2) Put a foil packet of soaked wood on top of the flavorizer bars. However, since the Weber q's "flavorizer bars" are integrated into the cooking grates, this isn't an option either.
3) Balance the foil packet directly on top of the burner. However, I am not sure how steady the packet would be, considering how narrow the burners are.
4) Put the foil packet on top of the ignition, which is located below the cooking grate. However, the burner is not directly below this portion, so I am not sure how much (if any) smoke would be generated with this option.
5) I suppose the final option would be to simply put the foil packet on the cooking grate itself.
Any suggestions would be appreciated -- thanks!
