I have the old style Weber Genesis (with 2 rows of "flavorizer" bars). Last
year, I bought the Weber Steam 'N Chips smoker accessory. I've had little
luck, except at pretty high temperatures (350 +) in getting the thing to
emit ANY smoke. And 350 is way higher than the low temp cooking I'm
gravitating towards.

Same here, new Weber Genesis. Last weekend we abandoned the smoker box
and wrapped the soaked chips in aluminimum foil. Shaped like a log,
with the ends open. Placed it right on the back vaporizer bar. It made
a little smoke, not much.

I'm going to try the suggestion of just placing a soaked chunk right on
the vaporizer bar. Maybe it'll get hot enough then.

We're also considering getting the Weber Smokey Mountain w/the rebate on
amazon.com and using that for butts, ribs and brisket. We'd continue to
use our Genesis for hamburgers, hot dogs and chicken.
