Absconded the wifes poultry setter with drip pan and set inside the cone. Briqs contained by a 22" WSM charcoal ring and fired off with the torch. Mojobricks Hickory Qubes for smoke.

Took the smaller ring and inverted it inside the 18.5" Cajun Bandit conversion and fired up a small load of Lazarri Mesquite lump inside it and set some wing sections around the perimeter of the grate and cooked them indirect at 375* @ 35 minutes, flipping once. Small chunk of Pecan placed over cone for smoke.

+1. I need one. I think I'll chop up a large chimney.

I like the pic with the wings. That setup looks pretty versatile.

I forgot to mention, this cost $8.79

You could get banned for destroying a Weber chimney!
