very cool site thanks..

i am always looking at bbq stuff

mrs bam knows where i am thanks to sites like that one and this one....

on here looking at cooking and recipes.... smoking and bbqing meat and lastly hotpeppers..lol
 
I smoke in my weber a lot. I put the charcoal baskets on each side, put the flip op sections of the grill grate right over that so it's easy to add more fuel and smoke wood. Then put the meat inside a high sided disposable aluminum tray to act as the heat sink. Poke holes in the bottom to let the fat drain out.

That being said, that ring would make the process much easier. With the method I use, I have to add a couple charcoal briquettes to each side about every 45 minutes. Gotta constantly monitor the temp to keep it low enough in such a small space. That Ring would essentially more than double the interior size of the space.

My FiL has a weber from about 25 years ago that came with a ring like that. I'm not sure if Weber makes them anymore specifically for this. I'm guessing that self fabrication is the only way to go here...
 
i am guessing here but i believe you could get an old 55 gallon drum or 30 gallon drum and go from there... if not, a heavy piece of sheet metal bent into a circle will do the same thing

My neighbor across the street works with steel. I wonder if he could fabricate this? A 55 gallon drum would work for this? REally? That might make it even easier to obtain....Buy a rotisserie to add to it. Or just take the rotisserie off my offset and attache it to the the weber ring and plug the holes for the rotisserie on my smoker...

the 55 gallon drum might be a little big but there is a smoker called UDS(ugly drum smoker) that they use a weber lid

here are some pics so you get the idea
