We did some grill upgrades this year.

I now have a WSM and Weber Gold C (thanks to Amazon)

What smoker box are people using with the weber grills?

Where would I place it at.

I was using a thin metal box under the grate on my cheapo grill

I saw a cast iron box today at the store.

Seemed much heavier and thicker then my sheet metal box.

Is this too thick to get hot enough to smoke?
Anyone have one of these?

I just throw a chunk of wood (oak, apple, almond, plum, cherry) between the
back flavorizer bar and the firebox before preheating on my Weber grill.
Preheat gets it going, then I hit it with some water from a spray bottle (to
knock down any flames) and it smokes 45 minutes or so during a cook. Ashes
just fall into the drip pan. I find this easier than using a box.

The cast iron box works fine. However, why not just wrap some wood up in
aluminum foil and puncture some holes in it. Smokes well and you have lump
charcoal left over to boot.

That sounds good...

I plan on doing a single slab of ribs.
Doesn't seem worth the effort to fire up the WSM.

I was going to try it on the gas grill with some smoke wood.

Can you do a slab on the Genesis indirectly and get a temp low enough to
cook properly? How long are you to leave the slab on? Most important,
how do you catch the grease drippings underneath so your grill isn't a
mess afterwards. I find the drip pan on that grill to be pretty far away
from the grease source. Everything above it would be a mess.
Thanks for your thoughts
