Cast Iron helps distribute the heat. My cast iron skillet sits on top of a support bracket that sits on top of the round metal ring that surrounds the burner, giving space between the skillet and the ring. I started out with chips in the cast iron and it was very successful except I had to replenish the chips all the time. Thus now, I use the amazen tube just inside the lower door.
Also keep in mind that the Amazen tube needs to reside above the burner. If below, when the smoke rises up from from the tube, the flames of the burner will consume a lot of the smoke before the smoke gets to the meat.
