Smoker box use?

I constantly feel like I'm the one asking a subtraction question in a calculus class. Pardon me if I'm dumbing the discussion down, but...
Does anyone use a smoker box? I've seen several recipes online that call for one, but I've never tried it. Typically I just soak wood chips, and place them directly on the hot coals before I put the meat on. If I were to use a stainless steel smoker box, where would I place it? Directly on the coals as well? Is it different if it's a cast iron box?
Any tips or pointers? Any drawbacks or benefits? I appreciate the help!

Why worry with a box ? No Need to soak either , chips ,chunks whatever you wish to use.

I don't know what you red fans do, but here in GO BLUE country, we mix the dry wood with the lump and that gives us SMOKE throughout the cook without steam. Try to remember that.Flint, Michigan

people use smoker boxes with sawdust or pellets for cold smoking in their eggs. Like this:

Don't need to soak the wood. If you want long smoke, use chunks not chips. I wouldn't use a smoke box, it seems that is more for gassers.There was a post from one of the power posters (can't remember who, was it Nola or Cen Tex?) where they had a box with racks set off to the side and a hose (dryer vent maybe?) from the top of the Egg. Looked like a good idea for a cold smoke.LBGE
