I have a gas that I use for speed. I am going to try something different on it, though. Cooked some deer steaks on my buddys charcoal, and used hickory chips for smoke flavor. the instructions on the chips said to put them on some foil, and wrap them up completely. Poke holes in the foil, and put them on the grill untill they start smoking. Then put the meat anywhere around the chip packet. I am going to try this on my gas grill. Maybe get a better flavor out of it.
