I got a Performer early summer, and have been loving it. Most of my grilling involves at least some time cooking offset. I fill a single char basket with lump and set it off on the far side (where I can also raise the hinged grate and drop wood chips. I even do 6 hours of churck roast this way. The baskets seem practically made for lump (which tend to fall through the grates otherwise).
But I've noticed a lot of people use firebricks, especially when cooking low and slow on the kettle. Is there any advantage of the fire bricks over the char baskets, besides capacity?
