Abstract
A grease shield smoke assembly provides smoke to flavor food grilled in a gas grill. The assembly includes a shield having a pair of planar side portions to replace the existing grease shield of the gas grill. Proximal edges of the side portions are coupled together defining an apex of the shield. Distal edges of the side portions relative to the apex are positioned in spaced relationship. Each of a pair of rails is coupled to and extends from an associated one of the side portions. The rails are positioned in alignment extending along the shield between the side portions. A rack is provided having lateral edges. The lateral edges of the rack are supported on the rails wherein the rack is supported between the side portions of the shield. Briquettes to produce smoke may be positioned on the rack.
