If you’ve been grilling for a while, it’s likely that you’ve experienced your grill smoking. We’re going to talk about this issue and what causes it.
It can be caused by the type of fuel or from an accumulation of grease on the cooking grate. It might also be because there is too much food on the grill at one time, which forces out more heat than necessary and soaks up less gas before burning off again.
Gas grills are not designed to smoke meat, but that doesn’t mean they can’t still cook it well. The gaps around the lid allows heat and smoke to easily escape which could result in a less flavorful meal than if cooked on an upright smoker like one made by Masterbuilt for example.

How do I stop my gas grill from smoking?
The grilling season is here! This article will teach you how to prevent flare-ups from happening so that your food can cook as evenly and thoroughly as possible. To start, trim the fat off of any meat or vegetables before cooking them on a grill.
Flare ups happen because fatty foods tend to burn easily while they are being cooked which causes excess oils in the air due to caramelizing fats burning at high temperatures; this oil then ignites into flames when it comes into contact with oxygen.
When searing these types of items be sure not only turn down heat but also leave lid open for better ventilation, especially if there’s lots of wind coming towards where you’re working near a fire source such as an outdoor gas stove burner or fireplace.
Why is my grill making so much smoke?
Greasy, lingering smells tend to hang around after meals. But the smell of burning fat is particularly strong and unpleasant. When you cook certain foods in an oven, it’s not just the food that gets splattered with grease -the walls also become covered! This can be a big problem when next time your grill goes on because any pre-existing oil will burn up easily making for even more greasiness than before…and then there’s always that pesky pungent odor which wafts through every inch of space left inside your house or apartment.
Are flare ups bad when grilling?
The grill, a common tool for outdoor cooking and entertaining may provide the most flavor to your meal. But it can also be dangerous if not handled properly. Trimming fat from meat before grilling helps prevent flare ups that could potentially set off fires or cast grease onto hot coals which will produce smoke when they ignite into flames – creating an even more hazardous situation in turn! It’s always safer to leave some of the natural oils on so you don’t dry out everything else by removing too much – just make sure there is no dripping going on during any part of this process either way!
