I'm toying with the idea of trying this. I've seen videos of folks doing it. Anyone tried it? what kind of results are possible?

I've done it but have never had a box big enough to last how long I want. I now wrap my soaked wood chips in a long piece of aluminum foil and place on the burner. For something quick, it gets a decent smoke flavor. If I want to do a butt or ribs and don't feel like breaking out a fire, I'll leave the grate off to where I can easily remove the spent chips and place more. Works pretty well low and slow if you can get the temp right on your grill.

I recently started using a stainless steel bowl filled with chips directly over the flame. Ill put a handful of pecan and a handful of cherry. I get about 45 minutes of good smoke and then Ill add some more chips and shake the bowl up.

It seems like you wouldnt get as much smoke with the foil and holes method.

I have a Weber Summit with a dedicated 5th burner for the built in smoker box. While it's bigger than most of those after market boxes, it only holds a couple of cups of chips/chunks. It works well, but you do have reload it occasionally.

It is not as good as a dedicated smoker for long smokes, but it is great if you just want to add some smoke flavor to grilled dishes that you are cooking slowly. I use it for chicken quite frequently.
