Thanks for the heads up Suds!
This will be a major upgrade over my fire bricks. Have been wanting one for a long while, and at this price point I can graduate from the bricks. I really like that now my coals will not be against the kettle bottom. Better for the kettle, and will retain more Btu's inside the cook chamber, thus longer run time with the same fuel load.
Do many of you actually run water, or just use the water pan empty as an additional insulator from the direct heat of the coal bed?
