I know it won't give a smoker result, just looking for some stuff I can do until I get or build a smoker.
Sometimes on my gas fire grill I want to add a little smoke flavor and the metal box does the job, but for real smoked slow roasted meats, can't seem to beat a smoker, and the one I'm using right now is pretty affordable at 89 bucks, but if you have a weber, why not just add a few wood chips to the babrbeque coals as you go, you could even bank the charcoal to one side and put meat on the other to keep the heat down and allow a longer smoke time. I add coals to my smoker as the old ones burn down, and find mesque coal works great to add natural flavor, that augments the wood chips I add, I used mesquite, hickory and apple depending on what's on the grill, apple alone for salmon, mesquite and hickory mix for most pork dishes and poultry,
