A smoker is nothing more than a slow cooker with a source of constant real wood smoke. The SmokePistol attached to any grill or smoker easily and provides the source of constant real wood smoke. Regardless of whether your grill is charcoal, gas or electric, you have the heat source. The trick is to keep the heat very low (about 190 – 225 degrees F) when smoking meat, fish or other food. Also, moisture helps when smoking food or barbecuing so use a pan of water inside your BBQ grill when smoking.
