You can get good smoke from a Weber Genesis by just throwing a chunk of wood
on the back flavorizer bar during heat-up. It will smoke for 30 minutes or
so during your cook, which is enough to give good flavor.

I haven't used the product, but for the Steam-n-Chips, you probably need to
get the chips up to temp to get the smoking started by having them in the
smoker box and setting the burners to H-H-H- for 10 minutes or so to
preheat. Once they start smoking, you can then cook at 300-350 or so and
they should smoke for some amount of time.
