I've been told it takes a lot more charcoal to get to temp with it. Instead I use a "spacer" in the middle of my basket to prevent a hot spot. I think my basket is 18" wide and 9" tall, then I took a piece of the expanded steel and rolled it into a 4" diameter cylinder shape that I just set in the middle of the basket. The charcoal fills the basket in a basic donut shape and it works incredibly well. I bet I get 12+ hours on a 1/4 bag of coal without any hotspots at all....
