These combination appliances, available at a major home improvement retailer, offer the functionality of both a grilling surface for direct heat cooking and a smoker for indirect, low-and-slow cooking techniques. Examples include propane-fueled grill/smoker combinations, charcoal-fueled models, and pellet-fueled units, each designed for outdoor cooking and food preparation.
The advantage of these systems lies in their space-saving design, providing versatility for diverse cooking styles within a single footprint. Historically, separate grills and smokers were required to achieve different cooking results. The integration of both functions allows users to conveniently switch between searing steaks at high temperatures and smoking ribs or briskets for extended periods, contributing to efficient outdoor cooking experiences and simplified equipment storage.
