Was wondering what you prefer for creating smoke. This is actually for a gas grill, but I seem to notice chips catch fire to easily in the CIB, whether they are wet or dry. Does the foil do better, since it is more enclosed?
Just remember wood can't burst into flames if the oxygen is limited....i.e with some small pokes in the foil, but can with the larger holes of the smoke box.Interesting. I always thru wood right on the coals of my smoker. I wouldn't figure setting on the grate, that far from the fire, theyw ould combust or smolder?
Can always give it a try.
