I just bought a Napoleon Gaz Grill with the Napoleon Smoker Box and I stumbled on this 5 year old video that I am gonna save in my Watchlist. Thank you so much for that great tutorial!
Never commented but today I am for 2 reasons. One: The way you did it today has been the way I've done it since I was 13 and it's really cool to see a recognized pro do it the same way....feels good man. And two: the last line in the video is soooooo true, thank you for saying it though the water I was drinking came out of my nose when I heard it, lol.
Same here... that looks familiar, but I do foil packs. Everything has turned out great so far as the days count down to the YS640 purchase.
Me too man. I was like dang he just called a lot of people out 😂
100% if you can't make good food, it's not your equipment
Chef Tom! I love watching all your videos. You are my favorite chef and my biggest inspiration. Thank you for what you do man!
"...If you cannot make good Ribs on a Gas grill.... Its not the grill's fault."
Cant be anymore true than that
This... So true.
Refreshing to hear that. So true. Great video!
Watching the master at work never gets old! Keep em coming chef Tom.
Thank you SO MUCH dear Chef Tom!!! That is INCREDIBLY helpful!!!!! God bless you man 🙏
Chef Tom is the best teacher for BBQ 👍👍👍
This is a great video. I just got a Napoleon grill which came with a smoker box. I never had one before and this is the perfect guide on how to best use it. Thank you.
Tom, you are the man! Thanks so much for this and giving me permission to make ribs on my gas grill!
Man, I never use my gas grill for anything but chicken breast, and the random thing I want done fast. This was awesome 👌
Keep it coming Tom!! Love all the videos you do!
I smoke all the time on a gas Weber. Tastes great. Nice video.
Thanks, I’ve just bought a Napoleon Phantom grill and I am anxious to get started. You have answered several questions I’ve had, thanks 🇬🇧
I literally just cooked my first rack of ribs EVER using a slightly modified version of this technique (I used my version of a Santa Maria tri-tip dry rub beforehand and also brushed the ribs with Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce before wrapping them in foil). I have to say, these were some of the best ribs I have ever eaten!!! Thanks a bunch for a great video!!!
Thanks for posting been in the process of turning my gas grill and smoker use so far the best
We love you Tom!!!!
Too funny, I was thinking the same thing since I seen your little kettle Grill smoking off to the right you actually got a smoke ring off a gas grill love it brother thank you you have a new subscriber!
Great recipe, and tips for anyone that uses a gas grill.
Thank you! Buying a gas grill but ive only used charcoal. So I appreciate the advice and tips
just the right information I needed....thanks so much chef!!!!
I can't wait to try this on my new grill! Thanks for the instructions.
Thank you. I cook with gas most of the time. Much appreciated!
I like to use military canteen cups as water vessels in my smoker. They’re cheap, durable, slim profile, hold almost two cups of water, and available at any military surplus store.
THIS is the video I was looking for. Awesome tutorial. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
We just set up a Napoleon LPG grill, that had a smoke box included! So, I was most glad to see this on YT, and am looking forward to trying out some ribs! Who knows, it may even be this weekend, as we will be having many of our family here visiting from away, and around from within easy driving distance!!
That's great, enjoy! Thanks for watching!
Ive been smoking on gas for probably 20 years now. Its crude compared to what we just saw but I just made a wire basket out of welded wire cloth with 1/2 inch spacing. You can get it at the hardware store. Then chopsawed up some oak or mesquite from the yard and placed the basket on the side burner to light it up before transferring into the chamber. What we saw today looked like a better design for sure but did the same job.
Thank you for the video. Needed this information.
This is fantastic. Thanks for the tip!
Practice makes perfect amigo and patience
Never have thought of that! I will have to buy a little smoke box for my portable grill.
At about 5 and a half minutes into the video, the comment is made that it is more work to smoke on a gas grill than a smoker. My opinion is that it depends upon the smoker. I bought one of those cheap smokers with a small fire box on the side. It takes a huge amount of effort to keep the fire at the right level to have an even temperature. I find that using the smoke box on my grill is much easier for managing the fire and grill temp. Great video.
This guy is excellent! Two ribs up!
I'll try the water trays...great video! I do have that smoker tray!
Thanks for the video. Looks great!
Thank you so much for sharing. I'm going to try this
This is exactly what i was looking for.
Tyler Mead man i went on a journey for this video
Thanks ! I will try this method .
My husband’s got to see this! He has a smoker, but it would be interesting to see which he likes better as far as taste goes.
Easy to use and effective
Late to party. Finally a good tutorial on smoking on a gas grill. Not ready to buy a smoker but this looks like a great alternative. Best thing is, he wasn’t pushing unnecessary accessaries to smoke on a regular grill. Kinda like we used to do before the expensive smokers came into the market.
Thanks for the great compliment! And the ribs were really good. Thanks for watching!
Wow, love I came across your video awesome brother thank you!
Chef Tom, I subscribed today because of this video. My Napoleon prestige Pro 665 should be shipping out this week! I am so excited to smoke while the rotisserie is rolling 🙏
Awesome! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Nice chef!
Nice video bro. You should do a brisket flat next on a gas grill.
Your video was helpful! I’m trying to do hot smoked salmon today!
This was an awesome video
“It’s not the grills fault” haha savage
Bro. Your vid is on point. Best vid I’ve seen. Only discrepancy is that over the box is a no go zone for meat. If someone were to place meat over it (you don’t) it’ll taste like gasoline. Great F’ing job for gas grill smoking.
Gas grills have their place. I've never really been a fan of gas grills, but I have one for short cooks and for convenience. But my money will always be on my charcoal grill! And yes, I can make awesome bbq on my gas grill, but it's better on my charcoal kettle!
Awesome vid 👌
The beard......awesome!
Terrific vid, thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you
Really good video 👍. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
perfect video, I'm actually trying this method on my gas grill.
That's great! Thanks for watching!
@@allthingsbbq and i actually have the same model haha
Would love to hear your thoughts and maybe a tutorial of smoking a brisket on a gas grill.
Amazing video my friend! Those ribs looked tasty
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Really cool tips. I never thought of doing that on my gas BBQ. Thanks
I'm waiting for the perfect moment to buy a pellet smoker. But till then, I've been smoking on my Weber gas grill for the past few years. Works great. I use a water pan and smoke box with either wood chips or pellets. Only other mod I've done is make a thick panel of foil to cover the rear vent on the hot side. That makes sure the smoke exits over the meat.
That’s something I wanted to hear! Just started trying this out and noticed that more smoke seems to escape than stay in the chamber.. I’ll try blocking my heat side off so it flows back over my meat!
I have the same grill, and just put a big chunk of smoking wood on top (in between) the deflector plates. It lasts a long time and no need to mess around with little chips and containers that burnout quite quickly.
Good info thanks...
Thanks for watching!
Awesome vid! Gonna try it with some fresh caught trout! Just a quick question, when you wrapped the ribs in foil, did you stop using the wood chips and just kept the heat low and indirect like before? Thanks.
Thank you, chef Tom! That was great.
Great video! I'm going to smoke some ribs on mine for xmas.
Awesome! Have a Merry Christmas & thanks for watching!
Hey guys great video! I’m getting ready to try this on my Weber gas grill and I’m thinking of smoking it the day before finishing it in the foil. Do you think I will lose moisture? What about finishing in oven? Thanks for all your helpful tips! 👌🏽🙋🏻♂️
Seems like as a general rule for gas grills, it's a good idea to have a water pan. Is that right? Love your explanation on gas vs wood grills and how they affect moisture
C T ... give Malcom a call !!! He is in !!! Go to Mississippi !!! It would be TH-cam bbq history in the making !!! :)
Yummy
Man oh man I’m just thrilled to fiddle around with me new Napoleon grill and smoker box thanks for the wisdom ghost rider! Also do you put smoker box directly over burner or between two burner tubes?
What are you doing??? A grill from Napoleon, a smoker box from Broil King and last but not least drip pans from Weber? You are going straight to hell, man!
Keep up the great work 👍
Hi Chef, great video!!! Which Napoleon grill did you use?
Great video. Napoleon has a charcoal tray that you can put wood pellets and use charcoal to cook instead of the gas. How would the cooking method be changed if we used the Napoleon charcoal/pellet tray? Do we still move the meat not on top but to the side and still need the water? How can you control temperature?
Great Video i will try it. I have some questions: I have a broilking baron 440, does the type of gas grill you use matter? I have never smoked meat before. Are chips available for purchase in stores or are they simply chips of wood you made yourself? Do you monitor temperature of the meat with a thermometer what temp should they be? at what point do you wrap in foil and why? and finally, will the length of time it takes to cook deplete a full 20lbs tank of propane? sorry for so many questions but i need guidance sempai ;)
This is what life is all about.
Awesome. You mentioned that you put coffee in the rub. Are you putting regular ground coffee or are you using the freeze dried coffee? If it's the regular grounds, are they soft when done or do they still have texture?
Wet chips also add moisture to the chamber.
Great video! Does this method work for smoking brisket as well?
First grill I’ve bought for myself is the Napoleon Rogue SE, also a three burner, similar to the unit shown here. Thanks so much for the recipe and guide here. Ribs are one of the things I look forward to making, but I knew I needed to study up before attempting. That vertical rack, and especially the smoker box make a ton of sense, as smoke flow adjustment seems to be missing from Napoleons own branded box, and no port adjustments exist on the unit itself. I knew it had to be included somewhere in the arrangement, so I’ll be looking into adding those to my kit. Thanks so much!
Side question, if anyone seeing this has experience, with regards to modding the lid, and/or cavity for better insulation of heat or retaking more of that precious smoke. Like say with oven seal strips around the lid, or adding adjustable air flow ports. Worth it, or no? It’s not something I’ll be attempting right away, but possibly down the road, if feasible. Or it may just come down to getting a dedicated vertical smoker. Thanks all!
Update: Sadly it seems that the design of the featured box has changed in two dramatic ways. It’s no longer fitted with the adjustable dampers in the lid, and it’s now flat bottomed, no longer following the angled contours of the Napoleon plates. Too bad.
Nice one, any tips to prevent fire from the smoker box, i tried to lower the temperature to min. change smoker box place to indirect heat ( it stops the smoke ) i'm kinda clueless why my wood chops burn after 20mins
Wow, got to try this. Would pellets be OK to use?
Do you think there would be any benefit to doing the same set up as you have here but used as an add on to regular grilling? Or do you have to smoke the meat for a few hours to get Smokey flavour?
hello Chef Tom what marinade would you suggest for these ribs?
Are you grilling or smoking in a controlled environment? Im a bit new at this so im having trouble maintaining a steady temp outside...any tips?
great video - super informative - thank you. Is there a website (couldn't find one) for the rub recipe & the cooking recipe - time on the rack, time in the foil etc...
follow up - I need to make sure it's good because...I can't blame the grill !!!! :)
How do you deal with the gaps for the rotisserie as well as the gap in the back of the hood? Or do you just live with the smoke loss b/c it is a gas grill and not a smoker?
Two questions
1. What type of ribs were these? Babyback pork?
2. What is the best wood to use for ribs and how would i do sausage?
Ive just gotten into smoking on a gas grill (before I go full smoker) and when doing this it seems to me that more smoke seems to escape the back side opening on the bbq vs staying inside. Is that normal? Or should I be trying to block that off so more smoke stays in the chamber vs escaping?
Hello , quick question though if I’m gonna use a pellet tube do I still need to put drip pans with water to give moisture on the meat or that technique is only for if you are using a smoker box and wood chips? Thank you
Do have a video doing brisket on gas grill?
Water becomes a by-product of propane through the process of combustion. Combustion occurs when there's between 1.8 percent to 8.6 percent propane and 91.4 percent to 98.2 percent air.
I have a very important question at this point;
If I don’t have Weber Drip pans, can I use some drip pans I have from the dollar store?, or, should I call the whole thing off?
Love this. I’m currently smoking now! A bit of trial and error. But looking forward to my end result!
how did it turn out?
Stick burner not compressed wood pellets I’m mean cmon you got everything else so right !
I am curious as to what marinade was used
Can I have my grill on while I cook but smoke with my smoke tube at the same time? i.e grilling and smoking brats or chicken legs
Do you find the smoking done like this is more bitter tasting compared to a more blue smoke?
how well does propane grill usually hold smoke? because i want to know the smoke to leak out of the grill
I have a 3 burner Napoleon. Should I just use the one under the smoker box?
about what temperature do you take them off and wrap in foil?
Smoking wings on the grill turned out great. BUT: for the first half hour of smoking I presoaked my wood chips in water for a while, and had no issues. The second half hour of cooking, I tried your method of using dry chips and refilled the smoker box with such, and the smoker box had flames a foot high off of the surface of the grill. Temperature control was not possible. I think from now on I'll stick with wet wood chips...
