These have been around for a number of years, in various configurations. One of the first, that I can recall, was a cast iron box. Basically the way they work is as
Yankee Doodle has described. Their aplication is for use with gas grill and you contain the ash. ..

ok, so not really a smoker. I can add some ships into the fire or make a real fire to get smoke flavor.

Exactly and a little goes a long way, for this purpose. No matter what I'm grilling, I always use a lttle smoke.

Good idea but I don't want to waste the beer. As an alternative, I have cut a large coffee can in half, punched some small holes in the bottom, lay my bark chips on the bottom and set to one side of my burner. I mostly use soaked hickory bark and hard to fit into an empty beer can. Eventually the can will rust out but just cut a new one. ....
