This keeps your grill from filling up with ash and clogging the fuel jets.

2. If you are using a charcoal grill or smoker then you can just put the wood directly on the coals once they've heated up like when you normally grill.If you haven't used wood before, start with small amounts. Use about 1/4 cup of presoaked chips on your grill and see what is does for you.

Position the can on the coals before grilling. Wait a little bit until the wood starts smoking pretty good and thengrill as you normally do.
