              Don't know if it will fit a weber but the price is right. http://www.oldsmokey.com/collections...-grates-grills

                could you do me a favor? measure the diameter of your grate, please.

                The link says it is 19" and i would like to verify that

                      This is the way that I use my Miller High Life Brinkman Gourmet...Also use a similar method in my stick burners for extended cold smoke cooking...

                      Now that I have a Weber kettle......Who knows what will happen...

                      As far as briqs...The Stubbs are better for a long slow burn...Very dependable...I get no off flavors from Stubbs or from the blue bag...

                        I love the snake method all the way up here in Canada.

                        I use RO briquets only as I found i couldnt maintain a consistent temp with RO lump coal but the snake works well with the briquettes and i have never found any bad smell or taste in the food.

                        Its threads like this that have taught me so much about how to use my kettle and water smoker.

                            Most “bricks” use a nitrate (usually sodium) as an “Ignition aid” Where lump forms are very pure carbon. This may account for the smell I appear to be sensitive to.

                            Me an’ nitrates have a history y’see..

                              My opinion on lump/snake situations is that the random shapes of the lump charcoal don't always lend themselves to continuing the ignition process around the grill... I need a beer...

                                And that’s part of it too. I have made it work, but you have to “arrange” every hunk for max contact...and then “fill in the gaps” with smaller chunks.

                                Hmm maybe a hybrid mix of brick and lump...?
