What Gas Grill
You can use any gas grill for barbecuing that has a hood and one
that you can get the temperature down very low, you are looking
for a temperature of around 90C to 110C at the cooking height,
it is better to have at least two burners so you can place to meat
over the one that is off (indirect cooking) its also easier to
maintain the low temperature, A thermometer is very useful providing
it's marked in degrees Centigrade or Fahrenheit.

How to get the Smoke
You
can purchase cast Iron or Aluminum Smoke
Boxes made for the
job, soak the wood
chips for at least two hours before you use
them, put the soaked wood chips in the box, then place the box
over the burner.
But
by far the easiest way is to wrap a handful of soaked wood chips
in a couple of layers of Aluminum foil, then just before
you use it, make holes in the top and place it on a hot surface
above the burner
If you want more smoke, have several ready, when one has finished
producing smoke replace it with the next one, remembering to make
the holes in the top first, two is normally sufficient, but this
very much depends on the wood used and on your personal taste.

Cooking
If
you have two or more burners, place a drip tray partly filled
with water over the unlit burner under the grill mesh, light the
other burner and stabilize at the desired cooking temperature see
Meat and Cooking Temperatures, add the wood chips as about, then
put in the meat over the drip tray and close the hood, the rest
is the same as cooking with wood or charcoal
