I've got friends who work for Weber. If it were profitable I'm sure
they would already have done it. They're marketing guru's.

I recently went to a tent sale for a large home center that offered a
two day 20% discount on everything that carried the Weber name. I
don't know who paid her, but they had a woman cooking things on of
their gas grills that would normally be done in an oven. She had
recipes available for what she was making. Some were hand written and
copied. Very "homey" and un-intimidating. Talk about smooth
marketing! Enough trivia. <g>

Half of a small bag of lump will achieve that range of heat. I
haven't used briquettes in years but I don't think they get as hot.
I've always wanted to get a few fire bricks to place under a stone in
the grill. Now you've done it and put me on a new mission. LOL
