How to get most smoke?

How do you get good heavy smoke? If you are cooking direct, it's easy to poke through some wood chips at the last minute after the temperature has stabilized and before putting on the food. But if cooking indirect, I've read here that it is best to add the plate setter so it heats gradually, but that blocks access to add wood chips. When/where/how do others add wood chips for best smoke production?

I had a post about using just wood, and nobody thought it was a good idea. I am still going to try it. But I think the comments here mean to use lump with chunks of wood.cssmd27 said:Use wood only?LBGE
