Is there room to place a wood chips smoker box between the heating element and the grill?

No. Both elements are very close. This is however a great grill! Highly recommended

I use either a pouch made of aluminum foil with dry smoke chips ( found in Amazon ) or better yet weber small aluminum trays with smoke chips ( also with Amazon ) and get a better result if I don't wet them. Good luck, love my grill, of course bought in Amazon I almost forgot I use them on top

It would be a challenge to use a smoker box with this grill. It would have to be really small and sit on top of the grate, because the circular shield over the gas burner is a mere inch below the grate. The burner is an inch below that. There is no other place that I can see to put a smoker box. This of course would reduce your available cooking surface. We have a family of 4 and although the Element is smaller than your average gas grill, we find it is more than adequate as you can use just about every inch of the grate without cold spots, due to the double circular burners (like a bullseye). I have had this grill for a couple of months now - - it is the best I've EVER owned. I grill at least 4 to 5 times each week, even in the winter (2 to 3X), and as advertised, it really does heat up to about 500 degrees in less than 5 min. - AMAZING!! I just refilled my propane tank for the 1st time since I got it - we are saving so much gas! My family is thrilled that steaks and chops are seared perfectly and still pink and juicy inside - done in just a few minutes. My last grill was a Charbroil Infrared model - the latest new invention when I bought it. I had room to place a smoker box BELOW the grate, and I did so often, because that was the only way I could get a charbroiled flavor. The flames are completely shielded to prevent flare-ups, but that also eliminates nice sear marks on your food and a smoky flavor. I hated that grill. I highly recommend this grill, personally I would try a small smoker box in the middle of the grate (if you're not cooking for a crowd), and if that didn't work, buy a separate smoker.. . . . because I love this grill that much.

Technically you can do either. You will get better smoke if you put it under the grates directly on the heat source. You might not get enough heat above the grates to generate smoke on some grills.

There is only 3/4" between the top of the heating element and the underside of the grilling rack. The rack is removable when you use the rotisserie.

Yes, you can, especially if you've kept the original cardboard package sleeve it comes in. We keep ours this way in the living room behind a book case so it's handy when I want to grill on our large covered front porch while it's raining cats & dogs outside.

Yes. The smoker box cover velcro's against the side of the Bar B Q cover if the smoker box is not attached.

Sorry for late response, but I believe the answer is no. The wood chip box is only about 1 - 1/12" deep. Also with the water pan sitting above that there is little room and again the wood chip cover wold not fit. I hope I was at least a little help after all that.

Yes, you can throw some wood chips in the charcoal and keep put the lid on. This would would work best with indirect cooking and given the size of this Smokey Joe it may just not be big enough.

My husband puts it in the offset box on the side, in the bottom of that box. No wood goes in the main smoker section.

The previous answers are correct but my best description is that the area is large enough to accommodate a tray of meat to grill, a plate of veg. and hamburger and hot dog buns in their plastic packaging! As for the area below the ash catcher - we store our large tongs and spatula there with room to spare! Hope this additional info is helpful!

I don't see why not. The griddle would then rest on it's handles, supported by the edges of the aluminum bottom half of the grill body (not the removable handles, but the ones cast into the ends). The griddle can be positioned near the middle of the grill so that the burner is almost perfectly situated under the griddle, so in theory it might even heat up faster and get hotter with the grill grate removed, but I've never tried it this way. Bear in mind that the griddle has only about 2/3 the area of the grill grate, so there will be a sizable gap in front of and behind the griddle if you use it this way. I don't see why not.

I use a standing rib rack and can fit in (2)-full racks and (2)- half racks at one time. The smoker insert is angled at two ends and not rectangular where the bins for the wood chips are, so I cut the third rack in half for the best fit. I've made very good ribs in this smoker and installed a Weber thermometer in the lid to more closely monitor the temperature while smoking.

I place it on top of grates. This seems to work fine. It is really important to use well soaked chips. I have issues with fire in the box and a bit of warping. It still smokes just fine.

Probably not enough room. Feet of smoker are removed, and smoker bolted onto stand through predrilled holes. Made to fit smoker, with only about 1 inch of table showing on sides

Only as a cold smoker with the grill off. The grill box holds the smoke and it does an OK job for smoking "light" items like cheese, nuts, or thin fish. I tried this with the grill on as supplemental smoke, but the grill flame sucked too much oxygen to keep this lit.

If this grill has a vent on the side, I don't see why it wouldn't fit. The smoker attaches to the side of the grill where the vent is. Perhaps you might be able to find installation instructions on line for your model.

No, it requires some changes to work like in this video. You're gonna have to cut the outside and inside metal with tin snips for it to fit, plus bend the element. It also doesn't put out as much heat, 1300w vs. 1500. What you get for all this work is much better temp control so you can use your smoker for things like cheese and jerky. You should pop in a $5 thermostat too so you can tell what the temp is.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXpClfFTRaw&list;=UUCw46lSuLFe1BDqA-1jQdiA
