So I live in an apartment complex with strict no wood/charcoal rule. Electric or Propane are the only acceptable "grilling" approaches. So, fine I'll "grill" with propane while inadvertently smoking some ribs. Heh heh! Made up a few pouches of hickory/apple chips, got the old Weber Q200 (CraigsList score) going. Set on high then dialed down to medium low. I had bought a griddle for the Q200 and am using it as heat shield for the ribs so they are not exposed to direct flame.
The pouch(es) sit on the grill, a few inches above the flame, smoking away, similar to smoking on a Weber Kettle with chips. It is a cool windy day, so the smoke gets moved out fairly quick, good for stealth smoking. Even if I have to move the ribs into the kitchen oven to finish, at least they will have some real hickory tickling them along the way!
Next time I will mix a few pieces of charcoal in the foil packet to at least give the meat a hint of the charcoal flavor my wife loves.
