My grill has a built-in chip box, too. But it takes about an hour for dry chips to even start smokin. This box sits on top of the grill and gets going quickly enough for steaks or burgers to benefit.

I use dry, Tom. Looking forward to trying a tri-tip or something. My electric smoker just isn't that wonderful compared to the old New Braunfels I had. I may have to steal that thing back from the dude I sold it to.

The hat rocks. Would have been perfect as a high schooler, rolling joints in the park at night.

Maybe some of the noCal boys have a use for one?
