I added a rack just above the burners of my gas grill and placed some of the ceramic briquettes on that. Now the gas grill gets evenly hot, and I don't have as much of a hot vs cold spot problem. Also, if I want to burn something for dinner right quick, but want a bit of flavor, I just through on some wood chips (2 or 3 is enough) and just as they start smoking I toss on the meat. Gives it a nice smoked flavor with a fast turnaround.
That being said, I just made myself a wood/charcoal grill out of an old water heater tank. Nice thing is that it's long enough that I can get the coals glowing, and push them off to either end of the grill and do some indirect grilling. We did a whole chicken on the maiden voyage, and it was the juiciest chicken I've ever had. Indirect with wood coals is the bomb!
