I picked up a stainless steel pizza pan to use as a heat deflector for indirect cooking. The pan is the same size as the charcoal grate. I bent it at about the 2/3 point. Now it gives me a nice sized indirect grilling area and it holds the fire bricks in place. Here's what it looks like.

I'm gonna try it out tonight.

Is that for the Weber you got from me Bill or for the 22.5??

That's a 22" Weber. But one for the 26" Weber I got from you won't be far behind. I wanted to test the theory on one grill before I went out and bought a stack of those pizza pans.

Bill, if the charcoal is off to one side why do you need a deflector shield?

The vent holes go over the food on the indirect side. The heat and smoke travel in one direction causing a convection system. Also, it stops the fat that drips off the food from gumming up the one touch system.
