When I'm feeling lazy - - I use a disposable lasagna pan shoved up against a side of the kettle directly on the coal grate. This leaves about a third of the volume for fuel. I load that with unlit briquettes leaving a depression on one side, add a couple chunks of wood and place about 10 to 15 fully lit in the depression and adjust my vents for the target temp accordingly. Here's a pic where you can sorta see what I'm describing. You can put a steel can or two of water in the pan if you so desire.
