The smoker box is designed to add a light smoke flavour to your food using Weber's wood chips. Adding
wood smoke to your barbecue during cooking opens up a whole new world of flavours. Weber offers a
variety of wood chips that will enhance your barbecue flavours. Use dry wood chips in the smoker box,
as they reach smoking temperature faster.
The Smoker Box can be used for a number of different types of food and the instructions for use will
change depending on the cooking method you wish to use.
Whenever you use your GENESIS for smoke cooking, it's important to preheat the barbecue first with the
lid closed. This ensures the smoker box is at the correct temperature to maximise the smoke and length
of burn from the wood chips.
