Threw some hickory chunks on a gas grill thinking it would be close enough to real BBQ

Tried that shortcut last Saturday for some pork ribs and the smoke flavor was so weak and bitter at the same time, has anyone actually gotten decent results mixing wood chips into a gas setup or am I just wasting my time?

Pork ribs need way more smoke time than hickory chips give?

Oh, hickory chips are fine for ribs if you use them right! The key is how you load them up and keep adding fresh chips every 30 minutes or so. Honestly, you can get plenty of smoke flavor from chips if you soak them first and don't skimp on how often you toss more on the coals.
