Smoking Steak?

[GrillinFool]

A couple nights ago I put a few rib eyes into the bradley with one biscuit for 20 mins. I only had the smoke generator on not the box. Then I put the steaks on a hot grill and grilled them up. it was really good but a little too smokey.

So tonight I put in 4 sirloins and one apple puck in and let is smoke for 15 minutes. Actually I let the buscuit get going for 5 mins then put in the steaks for 15 minutes. It was really, really good.

It got better when I put asparagus sauteed in butter, olive oil, garlic, and minced onion all over the top of the steaks.

So now I am wondering was there any weird bacteria reason for not doing this? I am likely to do every steak I make from now on this way.

I've tried steaks before and I just don't care for the outcome at all.

I forgot to mention the reason I did this in the first place is because I use a gas grill which although it is very hot and does a great job on steaks it lacks the wood flovor. By flavoring the steaks for a few minutes in the Bradley then grilling them I get the very same flavor that I used to when I cooked over a wood burning pit. And boy do I miss that flavor. So I am only using the smoke as a flavoring and not cooking at all.

I have done the same thing many times with steaks and had no problems.  Definitely makes for a good steak[:p].

Some say BBQ is in your blood, if thats true my blood must be BBQ sauce.

What I use to do is place very small metal boxes with chips in them side by side with the bricketts above the burner.

I tried cold smoking prior to grill once, but think I smoked too long.  Taste was not worth repeating.  Maybe I will try it again with just one bisquette.
