Does anyone like it?
I currently have a Weber kettle, which I am (was?) going to give/sell to a relative and replace with a Napoleon Prestige Pro 500. I came across this seemingly ingenious accessory. It seems at first sight a great thing - you can use charcoal in a gas grill so you get the benefits of both and you can set up two-zone cooking.
But reading Meathead's excellent book, it quickly becomes clear that gas grills have lots of vents to make them safe. So, you can't temperature control like on a kettle BBQ. Does that mean that such an accessory is severely limited / a marketing exercise? Is there a way to control temps using this accessory in the Napoleon? Wooden spoon in the cover? Duct tape over the vents? Ice in the charcoal? Using more / less charcoal? Grilling in a walk-in refrigerator? (Three of those five are perhaps not the best ideas.)
Many thanks in advance.
