Saw this today. Seems pretty cool

I think I will see if I can find one large enough to fit my Wolf. Might be an interesting thing to have

For the cost of that gizmo you would be better off buying a used kettle. If you have the space for one.

Simply yes!

 

[Bob Bailey]

That'd be great for someone who only has a gas grill or maybe limited space and wants something versatile.

I always have to chuckle when I see folks trying to convert their gas to cook like charcoal. No one goes the other way

Weber did about 40-50 years ago and it was a total flop.

 

[Bruce]

That is one time a N/S grill might be better than an E/W grill.

 

[TimA]

I would actually like to try a gas kettle. They’re kinda out there enough. And yeah Weber did also offer a gas conversion for kettle, for sure in Australia not sure about here.

Just not popular. Now Napoleon will sell you a gas with a charcoal tray haha

no room for one and with owning pellet grill no real need either. Until maybe when I get my lower patio (concrete patio) done

There is also this cast iron unit by Napoleon it has been out for a while and is $49.99 on Amazon.com

I knew I had seen this before. Forgot it was on a Napoleon

Well, that looks like a pretty beefy CI tray for only $49. The video says to place the tray directly on the burners....But, it looks like the holes are on the top of the burners. Wouldn't that be an issue? Another observation is that it seems they do the grilling completely with the coal on this unlike the other system where they still used the gas burners on the other side.

I think that was simply TH improvising ideas

These units also designed to fit on the ledges of a Napoleon Prestige 500 gas grill

 

[Bruce]

Pretty cool. If you generally like gas but want the option to do some coal burning once in a while, that is a pretty neat system. Is there any concerns with the ash in the cook box?

It looks like the stainless one from the video keeps the ash contained. But not the cast iron one

 

[Dave in KC]

Napoleon YouTube videos should be required
viewing for all Weber engineers immediately.

I'm betting most people couldn't taste any difference between food cooked using that expensive gizmo and one of these wood chip boxes that have been around forever or foil wrapped wood chips stabbed with a fork.

A friend of mine had one like this. Was a terrible grill.
