I do. I almost always cook over indirect heat. But many people don’t. That’s why they prefer gas over charcoal. And when they try, they make the mistake of using briquets instead of real wood charcoal. The sand has never added any flavor to the cooking.
To be truthful, I do have an LP smoker that’s setup for cold smoking. It’s much easier to to control over the 2 or 3 days it might take to cold smoke bacon or ham. And a LOT less work.
If you don’t know how to control the temp on a cheap charcoal grill, that’s fine, but don’t pretend it can’t be done.
