Various kinds of smoke chip box are available, from stainless steel to cast iron to makeshift foil packages. They fit inside gas grills, slowly dispersing smoke throughout the cooking process. Cast iron ones, although the most costly, are the most successful at maintaining heat and are the easiest to “top up” as the chips burn out. To make a foil smoker pouch for a gas grill, place soaked wood chips in the centre of a heavy-duty sheet of foil. Fold the edges together to make a tight seal and flatten the package like an envelope. Using the end of a knife, poke several holes in the top of the package to allow the smoke to escape. Place the pouch directly over the burners, under the grill bars. Heat the grill to hot until smoke appears, then adjust to the desired temperature. For charcoal grills, use a grill box or simply scatter soaked chips over the coals.
