    Anyone ever use Garlic cloves instead of or with wood for smoke?

    I read on a food site where a guy puts cloves of fresh garlic in his charcoal for smoke.  Says it imparts a smoked garlic flavor on meat. Anyone ever try this?   I love garlic so I want to try doing this on some ribs with apple or cherry wood. Stan
