A tin foil tray does the same thing
Yep, did that for a while too. Had one break up and set everything on fire which wasn't ideal. No idea why it fell apart, same product that I had been using for a long time and same technique ending in a different result.
I prefer the more eco friendly options anyway.

@canefan I had been thinking about making one, but thats cheap enough not to bother!
Been using smoker boxes for years. Work pretty well.
You can get a weber one that is built for their BBQ, will fit the Genesis, but cost a lot more and not really worth it. The summit has one built in which does actually work extremely well.
As for soaking - depends what you are using for mine. Manuka "sawdust" (really small) will just catch fire and give more flame than smoke. Hickory or the bigger manuka chips - not so much. A quick rinse will do it normally depending on the cook time.
Now that I think about it, I should make my own wood chips. I have a manuka patch and a chipper. Anyone tried that?
Definitely want chunks as opposed to fine stuff

The fine stuff works O.K. on BBQ if soaked and it is a quick cook, like fish.
It's great on my little hot smoker (not the wife) one of these:
Anuka - Hydraflow
Anuka: a world-first electric food hot smoker appliance If you want to learn more about us, you’re in the right place. An exciting new concept Whether you are a fisherman or a chef, a hunter or a housewife — the variety and choice of smoked foods is now yours with the arrival of Anuka — […]
Probably been bought up before on here, but it is a great little machine, not too expensive, and I have had mine for quite few years
Otherwise, agreed about fine smoking material. Although I have had some fine smoking material in my time...

I nailed a lamb shoulder on my gas weber last night...didn't take images, but was stoked with it.
Went perfectly with the avocado salad and holoumi.

I think you would have been within your rights to frequent Morrisons, Lidl and Aldi.

It's also 'Lidl, where you can get a cheap angle grinder to go with your pot noodles'
We had a Lidl around the corner from us and I did use it occasionally for fruit and veg. Always had to have a look at the famous centre aisle to see what randomness was on sale.

I think the only time I experienced a Lidl was on some road-trip, maybe not even in the UK... and being very bemused/confused by the range of items in stock. Always wanted to live near one after that... but no such luck.
Lidl, where you can get a cheap angle grinder to go with your pot noodles
...is a pretty spot-on description

@Kruse doesnt that apply to the likes of ASDA and Tesco too?

Not in the same way... the Tesco "megamarkets" - sure, are pretty much a supermarket with a department store as well.
ASDA - don't know...
But Lidl - it's just the sheer randomness of the shit. It's not that there is EVERYTHING, like there is Tesco. But there'll be frozen octopus-shaped potato nuggets, and nothing else, in the freezer. And next to that, a shelf of angle-grinders, but no other power-appliances whatsoever. -
@Kruse dont think I had the pleasure of a Lidl when I was there...Aldi, Iceland, Costco, but not Lidl...
There was another, which was the little shop round the corner from where I lived, always remember soon after arriving in the UK seeing a box of Steinies on the shelf for £20, buying it and asking when they'd get more, they said never cos it never sold...
Is a shop up here called Crackerjacks up here, some real random stuff, some quality parallel imports though.
edit - was Spar I think?
