The summertime is all about the outdoors. Families are always spending time outside and there are many meals that are prepared using the grill.

You see people grilling all the time, traveling with portable grills or using their built-in backyard grill in their outdoor living space. But have you considered what a Smoker BBQ Grill could do for you?

A smoker BBQ grill adds a smoker box to your grilling space so you can get the smoker effect on your barbecue. This is a way to get that slow cooked smoky taste in your meats. If you are buying a new smoker and are not sure what you should be looking for, here are a few questions you should ask so you get the right one.

How Much are You Cooking? - Are you the type who will have a lot of large parties or are you just looking for something for your family? For smaller groups, you can likely get by with an indoor grill, but if you regularly plan on having at least 10 people over, an outdoor smoker is the better choice.

How Long Will It Take? - This question may be more appropriately asked as how long are you willing to wait for your barbecue? Using a smoker requires patience since it is a slow cooking process. If you don’t mind the wait and want authentic taste, a smoker is the right choice. Otherwise, you are better off choosing a standard grill that can cook food faster.

What Food Will You Grill? - There are certain foods that are perfect for a smoker. If you are a regular lover of ribs, pulled pork, brisket and other signature barbecue meats, then you should prepare them the right way with a smoker. If your grilling doesn’t go much further than hot dogs, burgers and steaks, consider a standard grill instead.

What Features Do I Want? - No matter what kind of grill you get, some may come with added features that help you in the cooking process. You may want a grill with a rotisserie or one that has digital temperature controls to make it easy to adjust the temperature. Maybe you just want something basic and old fashioned. Whatever you choose, make sure you know the features you want to have or can do without on your smoker BBQ grill.

Is My Grill Portable? - If you are the type to travel on vacation and want to take the grill with you, consider that when you make your purchase. Some grills and smokers have stands or racks that you can attach to make it more portable and convenient for a traveler.
