Gas Smoking Meats at Home
Aug/100
Gas smokers are a very dependable way to smoke and cook your grilled meats. First of all, propane and natural gas are clean burning fuels. They are flowing when you need fuel and they turn off when you are finished. The prices for the fuel are reasonable and refills for propane are a snap. If you use natural gas then you don’t have to worry about periodic refills as long as you pay the gas company bill.
Once the grill part of the setup is running, the meat is cooking. You need to use low enough heat so that the cooking process takes awhile and the smoker part which creates the smoke has enough time to get the smokey flavor into the meat. This can take from 3 to 6 hours on average. You choose the wood that you want, which is usually mesquite, and you are on your way to having fresh home smoked meat done on the gas grills smoker out back.
Another benefit of this home cooking is that your meats are not full of chemicals and preservatives which are added to commercially smoked and sold meats. If you don’t want nitrates and nitrites added to your meats then go with home cooked. Other preservatives are also added to commercial meats. When you do it yourself, you only have the meat and whatever is naturally in the smoke. It is true that everything is a chemical composition of some sort, but I would rather eat my meats as they did generations ago. As long as it’s well cooked and free of pathogenic germs, you’ll be happier for it.
