I visited the site and am a little confused on how it works... the whole unit fits on the charcoal grate?

Looks like the ring fits where the charcoal grate would be, then the firebox fits in that which gives you some extra charcoal depth.  Then you can use the griddle for cooking in, or leave the griddle off and use your normal cooking grate for searing or indirect cooking.  Oh, and I think if you are searing, you can put the square plate in the charcoal bin so the coal sits at the level it would be if you were putting coals on the coal grate.  It seems like this product needs a video to explain it a little better.

and it looks like since the big pan thing acts as a difuser and drip pan for smoking, it lets you use the entire cooking grate surface for smoking which is pretty cool.

Here is a link to some cool cutaway pics on their facebook page.

Even with the cutaway, I'm not sure what the heck it really does.

@Big Dawg

Here is a video from their facebook page...thought I posted it earlier.

Think Smoke-n-Ator with a giant water pan and a major cook time increase w/o adding coals manually.  Can't imagine what it must cost  ...  more than a Weber kettle I'd guess                                SJ

$169 for the 22" kit.

They actually ruined a brand-new kettle for that??!!!!  Nimrods!

I can't figure out what the fuck this thing is.....the more I look at the web site the more I have no idea what it does

[Jon]

If you read "The Story" page, it's signed off by "Troy." Hmm.

[weldboy]

I am so confused

[Big Dawg]

Thanks for link to the video, Mike.  I would have thought that the coals stacked on top would catch more quickly than they say.  Guess that's due to reduced air flow.
