Smoke Vault chip pan advise needed!

[jnstrom]

So Im use to having a Chip Box not just a pan. Does the Pan work alright? Im thinking it may flare up. Any advise (wrap it in foil is my first instinct).

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

I use a veggie wok instead. 

I put a layer of foil in the bottom to keep the ashes from falling on the burner.

It gives good TBS with chunks for a couple of hours, then you have to add chunks.

Will this help your smoker make more smoke?

Let me add to the mod by saying that since you have wood burning in the smoker you get a more pronounced & deeper smoke ring.

I actually get a better flavor with this setup than I do in my WSM.

Al do you have charcoal in your pan when your done or do you just have ash?

Just white ash.
