Ali and Joe: My sister bought a bag of wood chips, soaked them in a pail, poured the water into a sieve, and put the wet wood chips onto a baking pan. Then she placed the foil pan on the rack. Then we ignited the bbq. The technique worked okay. Just a way of experimenting with it, I guess.

One thing I found out that she pressed the ignition button before she realized that the fuel valve was not turned on. That caused the BBQ to work in a low setting. Once I saw that the steaks were not cooked the way they were supposed to, I went back outside, turned the fuel valve again, and relighted the grill.

More flame came out, and it worked better that time.
