What pan is used to make this dip?
That pan that you smoke this in is very important because it has to be able to handle the heat of the smoker.
The best one to use is a 10-inch Cast Iron Skillet. This works really well for this dish, however, you can also use a disposable aluminum pan too.

Tips for making Smoked Spinach Artichoke Dip:
This Smoked Spinach Dip we make is with frozen spinach; however, you can also use fresh spinach.
If you use fresh spinach you would want to use about 3 cups to equal the same as 20oz of frozen spinach.
This dip is going to be made by using the food processor first to chop down the artichokes and spinach, then you will proceed with mixing it in a bowl and preparing it in the cast iron pan.
What pellets should you use for Smoked Spinach Artichoke Dip?
Any pellets can be used for this dip; however, we like to use the variety pack that gives you many different flavors added in. I find this works for just about any pellet grill recipe.
What should you serve this dip with?
This dip is best served with vegetables like sweet peppers or tortilla chips. It can also be served with pita bread slices or naan bread slices, each of these works well with this recipe.
Now it’s time to enjoy a game day and this tasty dip!
