Smoke Tubes

Anyone every try adding a smoke tube inside Egg to provide additional smoke and to be able to better control it?  I tried one yesterday on a low and slow and it did not work too good.  To maintain my 240-250 temp I had both bottom and upper vents pretty much closed.  No noticeable smoke coming out top.  Threw tube in Weber kettle afterwards, pretty much closed upper/lower vents and lots of smoke coming out top vent.  Is the efficiency of the Egg so good that there may not have been enough oxygen getting to tube to create smoke?  Obviously Weber no where near as sealed up as an Egg so suspect this was reason.

    I've only used my tube for cold-smoking salmon and cheese (no lit lump in the Egg), for extra smoke during low-n-slow I just spread the smoke wood over the lump.
