You can smoke decently well on a CGA- It doesn't have good airflow for high heat, but the low airflow control is great! What are you trying to cook, exactly? I think you'd be ok lighting a few coal over a pile of unlit on one wide and with your meat on the other for a cook that's only a few hours. They key here is to keep the meat as far as possible from the fire. Search for "Phubar CGA" on google image search and you'll see a bunch of creative cooks on a cga.
