  • A smoker grill is a cooking device that allows a cook to preserve, cook and flavor food by exposing it to smoke through burned materials, most commonly wood. The most common smoked foods are meats and fish.

    Features

    Different types of wood used in a smoker--such as hickory, mesquite, oak and maple--add a variety of tastes. In addition to the type of wood used, the temperature rate and length of cooking can have a large impact on the food's taste.

    Types

    Among the different types of smokers are propane smokers, smoke boxes and the large smokers you would find in restaurants.

    Cooking Styles

    There are also different styles of cooking used in smoking. There is hot smoking, used for a variety of meats, smoke roasting, barbecuing for ribs, and cold smoking, used to enhance flavors of steaks or fish.

    Warning

    Eating a lot of smoked foods can cause an increased risk of stomach cancer. In addition, the smoke may be harmful if exposed to it over several years.

    Considerations

    Smokers range in price from $100 to as high as $10,000 for those used as a customized pit smoker.
