Hey folks, I bought this $1300 unit many years ago for the wife for Christmas, I used it 3 times and absolutely hate it as I prefer charcoal flavor. She used it maybe 3 times as she hates to cook. What are the tricks to get a good grilled flavor out of a gas grills. I have heard of people putting some kind of brick or ceramic blocks in the bottom? Or should I just sell it? Suggestions? It just sits tucked away next to the house. I bet I’ve had it for close to 10 years.

Sell it and get a good old Weber kettle BBQ , you can’t make a silks purse out of a pigs ear.

LOL

Liked the convenience, but not the flavor. Donated it to a local college fraternity, I didn’t have to offer twice and they were here with a pickup and help.

It helps, but cannot replicate what you get using charcoal. I have a gas grill too - it just sits like yours. I use the tube in the pellet smoker too. 90% of the time, it’s the Big Green Egg or ggf. Kamado Joe.

Works good, but will leave some ash behind.

Just wanted this for ease for the wife but get a charcoal grill flavor. Sounding like that’s not possible

Rip out the guts and add charcoal!

Adding smoke is going to help get you past the gas burner grill taste or lack thereof! Personally I like my pellets grill way more than my old gas grill but I think using something like this is a good compromise. I don’t personally think I used to get a lot of propane/gas taste when I used a gas grill, I think I was just missing the smoke flavor.

Everyones taste buds are a little different though so some people are more sensitive to that taste than others.

It is made basically of ground charcoal and maltodextrin and adds the char flavor.

Also when I use gas, I put wood chips in aluminum foil, poke some holes in it and set it down by the burner.
