Good day,
My name is Michael and I'm new here. I've had a Weber gas grill for a while now and I love it. Lately I've started to think that there's something more, something I'm missing.
Ribs.
Smoked chicken.
I think you know what I'm getting at.
I started looking around to learn about BBQ and landed here. I love what I'm learning from reading this list and other web sites, but I need to start at the very beginning. I haven't even bought my smoker BBQ yet.
So, with your kind permission, I'd like to ask a series of questions over the next few days and weeks to start learning what I don't know.
First up is smoke. I've been adding mesquite or hickory chips to a smoke box in my grill for a while now, perhaps a cup or so per grill session. When the wood ignites, there's flames and lots of smoke and heat. Here's my question: after the flames die down, am I still getting smoke from the wood, even though I can't see any? Am I still getting smoke flavor into my BBQ or is the game over? I've read that the pros don't even use wood that they haven't pre-burned yet.
Thanks for your time. Good Q to all.
