We love the apple and cherry wood chips in flavoring our marinated beef, chicken and pork (Thai, Vietnamese and Chinese) BBQ cookouts.
I wholeheartedly agree and I use a Weber starter. But I would not dare to use it in a CG.
I use a metal box placed on the grate for dry chips or use chunk smoke wood buried in the charcoal. The smoke flavor is imparted into the meat early in the cooking process.
For serious cooks, I use my Weber smoker.
