When I asked "What is the best way to cook meat -? roast or a smoker, the answer is quick:" With gas smoker. However, it is not always the complete answer. Usually the person asking has some other factors that are important, such as speed and ease. Let's explore this.
Let me state first off that cooking with gas smoker is by far the most juicy, healthy and wonderful way to prepare any meat. Nothing in this world tastes as good as a chest that was in a gas smoker for several hours. No other method of cooking gives you a luscious fragrance that gas is not smoking or generate the same level of anticipation. It is also close your darned fool-proof in terms of preparation (if you burned the meal in a gas smoker, then you really goofed somehow ).
When cooking on gas as a source of heat does not "taste the heat. " ie the elements of wood or coal used to generate heat. With gas smoker, you get all the rich smoky flavor by adding wood chips in water pan. In fact, the type of wood used is important so that the end result is often a choice of wood is part of the recipe. It is this ability to add natural flavor that smoking is all about.
The use of gas for the heat source in your smoker and wood chips for flavor gives you the best of both worlds - you get a great smoked flavor of the chips and gas smoker allows you to control temperature very accurately and makes cooking easy.
Finally, with gas smoker does not have to become proficient in setting up and maintaining the coals, you can fire and goes (although not as fast as with a gas grill). Gas allows you to control the heat very accurate which is very important for most cooking. Simple gas control allows you to experiment a little more time to determine just the right temperature and time elements for their favorite menu items. It is very difficult to do the same with coal or wood as a heat source and heat can be uneven and thus become your own variables in their recipes.
With all that said, if you're in a hurry and have no time for the smoker, then a gas grill is the next best thing. In fact, many times a month can I use my trusty gas grill to whip up a quick meal for the family.
