You can do it just on top of the grill that came with your Weber.
But in my experience, sometimes things fall through the grill and the
insert doesn't have that problem; plus you can place/remove the
insert with its contents in one move, without having to place/remove
individual items (in this case, slices of corned beef) from a hot
Weber. It ends up saving some work.

Something like an eggplant, or steaks, the insert is unnecessary.
Whereas something like fish, or smaller vegetables, it really helps. I
suspect in the case of sliced corned beef, it would help although
I haven't tried that yet.
