Sure. I've been egging for 8 years and just learned myself. It keeps more delicate cuts (like fish and poultry) from charring before cooked. The direct heat is a little more gentle with a raised grid (thanks Mickey)Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

From thermodynamics class - Three components to heat transfer; conduction, convection, radiation. When cooking direct in the Egg raising the grid puts a little more distance between the food and the coals, which reduces the radiation component.
