Until recently, we have therefore put the soaked smoke chips directly on the charcoal briquettes always what works fast and super and especially. The only drawback: because the smoke chips are well watered, they also lose a lot of fluid, which does not evaporate as quickly. This means that the water kills permanently coal and when grilling times longer and for multiple guests, then you come to a second swing not around coal.
This is exactly why I ordered this box because I hoped mentally following advantages: the wet chips run out in the box, the excess water evaporates slowly, the meat can still juicy and aromatic will be and when the chips are all, the process of starting over - in the best case, all with just a load of hot coals.
The one with the coals, the flavor etc. also all true: the box is absolutely high quality, quickly gets hot, does not warp and smoke it works fine. Only the slots (the side panels are simply bent upward and have corresponding slots on the side) allow the water to run back into the coals. I know that nag at the highest level - we put the box now just a little bit wrong, so that the water flows only out of an opening, namely directly into the drip tray and the result is sensational.
From our side a very clear recommendation for gas and electric barbecues and with a bit of creativity also fully applicable Holzkohlrgrills.
