I use a 14" X 6" homemade expanded ring in my 22.5" That is about the size of the 18.5" WSM ring, but it is a little taller. It is good for two things... 1) Smaller cooks where you still want to load up and ignore it until done. 2) Smaller (but more frequent) charcoal loads to keep temps lower. Since it allows you to pack tight with less charcoal, it is more efficient this way than just throwing less charcoal in the large ring.
