New Weber Genesis owner. Bought a smoker box yesterday. Soaked some
mesquite chips and placed the box along the back edge of the grill on
the grate. The back and front burner were on, middle off. We did a
beer can chicken at 400 degrees, took 90 minutes.

The chicken was good, we were happy with that. Two questions...anything
we should of done differently? And we got almost no smoke at all.
Should I have place the smoker box under the grates on the flavorizer
bars?

Thanks, in advance!

When I first used the box I just sat it on the bars, but I've since
stopped using a smoke box altogether. Now I just wrap chunks tightly
in foil and sit them on the bars. It's much more convenient, the
smoke amount is adjustable by varying of the number of chunks,
plus chunks give a longer smoke time than chips.

Yes, the box should be placed on the flavorizer bars.
