Has anyone tried the cast iron smoke box ($10.40 at HD) from char-broil in a
weber? RM~

Yes. I found it to be much too small, and I'm too lazy
to refill it during a cook. Instead I just wrap some fist
sized chucks in foil and put them near, but not right on,
the flame.

Yep, I have 2 of them. They work OK as long as you watch the
temperature. If you can get the heat down they will add some smoke but
no where near like a dedicated smoker.

That's what I was thinking, two or maybe three. Do you think three might be
an over kill ??

Thanks to Steve and Reg both for the feedback, RM~

PS, I get in trouble with the lady in charge if I get too much smoke.

I do what Reg does. I also put chunks on a disposable foil pan placed on the
flavorizer bars.

I'd wonder if there is sufficient heat in there...my charcoal-fired
cookers can melt the aluminum foil pans.

I use one of the small foil grease trays, fill with chips of choice, cover
with foil and punch a hole in the foil "lid". Works just great for me ;-)

I picked up two of the Char Broil cast iron smoke boxes at HD today. They
were marked $10.40 on the shelf but rang up at $ 7.87 each. They must have
been marked down during HD's recent closeout sale. RM~

I think you're absolutely right. The Weber Genesis B, et all have a low
enough heat output to make all this work, as probably do most gas grills.
I wouldn't try aluminum of any kind, pan or foil wrapped on a grill heated
with charcoal.

KMart here in the Detroit area had 2 left the other day at a close out
price of$4.00. I bought one, but wish I had bought the other
