Can anyone tell me if there is any way you can achieve this type flavor when cooking on a gas grill.

Buy buffalo steaks,buy another bottle of wine while buying said buffalo steaks,buy a hot tub;)

Gas grill, no way here. One of those charcol grills, no way here. Here is what we do every year:

Dig a 2 X 4 foot hole about a foot in your ground. Fill it about half way with charcol. It takes time but get it good and hot. At the last 1/2 hour sprinkle some wet mesquete wood on top. Put a grill on top and go for it.

Of course, the secret is for it to be hot. No covering is necessary. Just turn the food, any food, once in awhile.

We use this pit all summer and it works fine.
Positives are great tasting food, done the way you want it. You can cook anything on it. No clean up. Just let it dry out and use it again and again.
Natatives are, even though we have a small roof over it, when it rains heavily water can be a problem.

BTW, always marinate meat before cooking for 1/2 hour in Gazebo Room Dressing. I think they have a web site. Tough stuff to get, but the best.

I'm told drinking wine in a hot tub can be fatal....
