The concept of having this box sit directly on the burner instead of on the grate is a great idea. It is great for chicken and burgers.

It is easy to open and close with tongs for adding wood chips.

The box nests atop a Flavorizer bar so the heat gets to the wood chips quickly and smoke begins pouring out in about 10 minutes from a cold start. It is great for flavor, hard on the eyes. This is for wood chips only if you put it right on the flavor bar and you must spray it lightly with water from time to time to keep the chips from burning up too fast.
