There's a different taste, but use a smoke bricket (hickory wood etc.) and it adds a very nice BBQ flavour IMO.

Check the specs of the element though. Some can be under powered and take along time to heat up, and cool quickly in a breeze.

A 10 amp (or 1100 watt) or higher element is best but harder to find.

Just my .02

edit, just noticed. Is this for outdoor use. If not the Foreman is awesome. Between that and my toaster oven, my stove never gets used. :thumbsup:

Just pointing out the bare minimum. 1600 watts, while the most power, could overload most circuits since its at the 15 amp max, and the porch lights etc. are usually on the same circuit aswell.

The smoke brickets are sold at most department stores w/ a seasonal dept. ie Home Depot, CDN tire, WalMart.

I recommend Barbecues Galore on Edm Trail. They are the most expensive but have larger selection, and better quality.

just want to point out a couple of things:

the foreman is more of a ribbed frying pan than a grill. it works by conduction and radiation heat transfer.

in contrast, 'real' grills work by convection and radiation heat transfer.

so if you want something that resembeles a real grill, i would go with one of the non-foreman styles.

also, those things throw hella smoke so make sure you're got good ventilation.
