Weber 7575 Gas Grill Smoker


7575 cast iron gas grill smoker
I've read other reviews for the brothers and cousins of this smoker. One concern was the holes at the bottom - they are not too small if you use the proper wood chips. This smoker is in my opinion pretty large and can hold large `chunks' and should hold enough wood chips to get the job done. What is great about this smoker is it is not under the grates making refilling a daunting chore should you need to refill it. It is also not a separate box that sits on the grates away from the heat requiring a hotter flame. So for slow cooking ribs or similar slow cooking food, its design and placement are terrific.
I would like the box itself to be a little heaver gauge metal
As far as other reviews about what smoker for what grill - Weber's website is not the most user friendly place I've been at and feel I had to spend a bit more time there figuring out what smoker would work for my grill than needed. I have a `new' E-330 - I chose cast iron grates so my smoker is the 7575...
Great Product - What a Find!
I have a very nice Weber natural gas grille. I love the fact that it can cook at high temperatures and that its nice, heavy lid retains heat like an oven. However, I missed charcoal because I missed the smokey flavor profile. I was going to buy a smoker, and when I looked at the smoker that I probably would have bought (the large Green Egg), I realized that I was about to spend another $1,000+ on a second grilling device.

When I saw this product, I felt that it was worth a shot. For $80, I couldn't believe that this product could turn my Weber BBQ into a smoker. It just seemed impossible. But, because Amazon has the greatest return policy on Earth, it was certainly worth a shot. This product blows me away. First, it comes with a smaller, replacement grate for half of the Weber grille grades that you have to get rid of (the smoker box has to go somewhere). The quality is high, just as you would expect from a Weber product.

The first time I used this box,...
Doesn't fit with new coated grates
The grates do not match in height with new cast iron grates (remedied by putting folded aluminum foil under grates). Ultimately, though, gas grills are not great for smoking or developing much smoked flavor in foods.
