I always have a bottle or two of home made wine that doesn't quite do right every year, so instead of pouring them out, I soak some hickory wood in a bowl of the wine for a few days, and use that for the grill. You can whittle some chips off with a pocket knife into a campbells soup can, cut in half, and place it on the coals, and it will send an aroma through the air that will draw every neighbor within a two block area.
