yes i do it all the time you can also add wook chips

willa
no. you cannot add charcoal. look in the bbq section of your store, and you should be able to find "bbq wood chips" (such as mesquite, etc.)

Do I understand ...???? Propane BBQ - - - you need nothing else.. You want to add an element from the charcoal fires ... ?? You lost the instructions for making smoke in your BBQ,, NOT knowing your skill a simple pie pan some water and briquet's to cover the bottom move all your food to the opposite end and the pie plate over very low heat get rid of the water and the briquet's should smoke rather than fire up.. I know nothing but I think it sounds right..☺ Psst actually You may need to vacuum the ash out of your sacrifice chamber to prevent cloging any of the burner..☺

go to lowes or home depot, etc. they sell a little cast iron device you can put wood chips in; or, you can put soaked chips in foil . poke a few holes in it and put it in the fire.

They make a "liquid smoke" flavor that you can baste meats with.

why would you want to spoil the taste, with charcoal you taste the heat not the meat
