Do you have any kind of grill that you can set up for cooking with indirect heat? A weber kettle can do the trick.

A Weber will indeed work.

I sometimes cheat and will use a gas grill with wood chips.

Earlier this week I coached my daughter to do this in the oven. (She lives in the big city and doesn’t have a plce to set up a grill. She said it turned out good.

Although pricey the Big Green Egg is by far the best grill I’ve ever owned.

“...any kind of grill that you can set up for cooking with indirect heat?”

I have a Charmglo Tru Infrared from Home Depot. Charmglo makes two types, and the one from Home Depot is better than the one from Lowes.

It is ‘indirect’ heat...I use hickory nuts (without the outer green/black hull) for smoking...better than hickory wood, in our opinion. I crack the nuts in a plastic bag with a hammer, then put in in the grill. For smoking, I put it on the lowest setting, with only one burner. Works great for anything I want to smoke. Shoulder, ribs, chicken, turkey, etc. And it is hot enough that the meat is cooked too, but very slowly. It makes a rump roast as tender as a filet if you do it slowly.

And compared to the Big Green Egg, it is very reasonably priced. Note, this is a gas grill, and I have it running off my natural gas. Great way to cook. In the summer, we cook on this grill every few days. Sometimes to do ribs. Sometimes to do burgers. Sometimes to do steaks. And sometimes to do pulled pork. Chicken and Turkey are, of course a given. And beer can chicken is one of our favorites. We have also beer canned a small turkey.

Note, the grill we have is a two burner, and can be had for about %270. A great grill! We have it on our upper deck. We have the gasline fittings for the lower deck too. Next grill, either a three or four burner job, will go there...with easy access to the swimming pool!

I have a Weber gas grill with two burners, so that probably wouldn’t work.
