Smoking French Fires?

[Alsta]

I'm trying to be lazy, and not have to clean up a thousand things at a small event this weekend. Cooking up a beef roast on the smoker, and was asked to make french fries with it.
Has anyone cooked up FFs on their smoker?
For reference, I'm using a charcoal offset so I'm not going to have precise temp control, and will likely be running hickory / apple chunks

Not sure about French fries, not sure if you could get them crispy or not.

I recall someone doing that. They put them in a broiler to crisp them up after getting them just shy of fork tender in the smoker.

Yup, what Steve H said. I would suggest you try it with fries instead of fires

Perhaps a dutch oven on the firebox to cook them? I'm not sure how hot that area will get.

I don't know how great a comparison can be made but, I smoked potato chips once. They soaked up smoke to an extreme.

Quickly became inedible.
