Weber GENESIS - How to Use the Smoker Box for Low and Slow (Indirect Cooking)

25
Smoker box low and slow cooking:
Preheating with the smoker box for
low and slow cooking:
1. Fill the smoker box with wood chips.
2. Remove the grills and place the smoker box
over burner 3 (pictured below).
3. Fill the smoker box's water pan with water.
In addition add 2 Weber small drip pans with
500 ml of cold water. Place one drip pan over
burner 1 and the other over burner 3 behind
the smoker box. The addition of the water
pans will ensure your meat remains moist and
flavoursome.
4. Light burners 1 and 3 (sear burner OFF)
according to the instructions in the owner’s
guide.
5. Turn burner 1 to LOW and leave burner 3 on
HIGH and close the lid. Preheat the barbecue
for 10 minutes.
Low and slow cooking with the smoker box:
1. After preheating for 10 minutes, visible smoke
should be rising from the smoker box and your
barbecue is ready to cook. Leave burner 1
on LOW, burner 2 OFF and turn burner 3 to
MEDIUM.
2. Open the lid, brush the cooking grills clean
and place your food directly on the grill above
burner 2.
3. Close the lid and cook for 30 minutes. This
setting is ideal for the smoker to operate.
4. After 30 minutes turner burner 3 to LOW.
Leave burner 1 on LOW and 2 OFF.
For the best results with low and slow cooking
you should wrap your meat with aluminium foil as
follows:
Pork ribs: Wrap after approx. 1½ hours cooking
and cook for a further 2 hours. Unwrap, baste and
cook for a further 30 minutes. Remove ribs from
barbecue, wrap and let rest for 30 minutes. Serve.
Beef short ribs: Wrap after approx. 2½ hours
cooking and cook for a further 3 hours. Unwrap,
baste and cook for a further 30 minutes. Remove
ribs from barbecue, wrap and let rest for 30
minutes. Serve.
NOTE: for wrapping, use either Weber butcher
paper or aluminium foil.
