i prefer smoker but you can smoke on gas. wrap soaked smoke chips in a foil pouch and poke holes all throguh it with a fork and put it on gas grill with lid closed. it will work almost the same but i dont think it works as well as smoke chips on charcoals

   The difference is about 100 degrees. For slow BBQ learn how to cook with indirect heat, not “over” the flames. Smokers, yes you could BBQ depending in the type, smokers “smoke” at about 200 degree constant where as a BBQ you’re actually “baking” the product over low heat, 200 and above. BBQ with 4 independent adjustable burners is what I use.
