Can I Use Wood Chips On My Indoor Grill?
Many of us love using wood chips with our outdoor grills, but can you use wood chips on your indoor grill? It's a question I get asked fairly often. Unfortunately, you can't add wood chips and have a fire on an indoor grill like you do out on the charcoal grill, but don't despair, you do actually have a few options.
A quick and easy fix is to simply add something like Liquid Smoke to your marinade to get a more smoky flavor. Another option is getting an indoor smoker. Although it is not a electric grill, if you like smoked meats this is one solution. We have a section on our site with reviews on many models of indoor smokers that you can check out.
Another option is to take your wood chips and soak them in water for approximately 2 hours. Then lay them in aluminum foil poke some holes in it, and them lay it on the grill. I would highly recommend doing this ONLY if you have an indoor grill with a lid on it and you have plenty of ventilation to keep fresh air flowing through.
