Answers:
If you are adding smoking wood to a gas grill then you need to arrange to keep the wood isolated from the fire. You don’t want the wood to burn too fast and you don’t want the ash to collect in your gas grill. There are several devices on the market for holding smoking wood chips in your gas grill; the most common is a cast iron box that fits under the cooking grate and above the burners. However the easiest and cheapest unit is a sheet of foil. Take your soaked wood and place in on a piece of foil, fold to enclose it and then punch a couple holes through the foil to let the smoke through. This method works great and all you have to do is throw out the foil packet once it’s cooled down.

Sure. I smoke foods on my gas grill all the time.
Wrap the wood in heavy duty tin foil. Poke a few holes in the top. Put the wood over the light heating element. Put the food over the area that is not lit.
I just did turkey legs last weekend - smoked them for about 5 hours.
yes well soaked and in foil canister directly over flames
Sure-If you are trying to smoke something, ar at least get the smokey flavor of mesquite or hickory wood, you need to soak the wood chips in water for at least 15 minutes. Then wrap them loosely in a layer of aluminum foil with an opening at the tope, put the foil packet on the grill near the flames, but not on top of, and then place your meat as far away from the flames as possible. It takes awhile to cook, but you can still get a great flavor.
actually you can i was watching the food network this past weekend and they said to make sure you soak your wood chips before you put them in your grill.
