Smoker Box for Weber Grill

Yeah, I know "real" smokers use a Green Egg and lump charcoal, but i already had this really nice Weber grill. I enjoy twiddling with my knobs (get your mind out of the gutter) and have used aluminum foil packets with soaked wood chips for the last 5 years or so. On my last trip to Omaha in April I bought this smoker box




from Sur La Table and have had decent results with soaked wood chips. It really is designed for use with pellets but their price was beyond crazy, $15 for this little box. I ended up buying a huge 20# bag of Traeger pellets at Costco for $14. Boy these work awesome! They get to smoking stage really, really fast (you don't have to soak them) and after a short learning experience with the knobs and damn near setting the house on fire, I got huge volumes of smoke out of the box. Plus I can refill it with a handy dandy funnel without fumbling with hot grates. Love it

I made my own smoker box for my gas grill by taking an old frying pan I no longer used, and placing it right on the burner.

Works pretty good.
