XL Charcoal reducing ring

I'm noticing that my perimeter charcoal does little more than hold the burning charcoal in place.. even on 15 hour cooks. I have a ring from a drum smoker I think will fit well.. has anyone tried a reducing ring?

They're frequently used, especially on XLs.

I use the angle L brackets from ceramic grill store. I just got them at Christmas. They work greatMark Annville, PA

I have one I use it when I wok, and smaller cooks, but I haven't been able to get it past 525, but that will depend on lump too, so it would be no use for a pizza cook or if u plan on keepin the egg hot for a couple of hours or so, it definitely has its place. Low and slow would never use as u would run out of lump too soon. Well don't know if that helps but there u have it.

Sorry ma guid pals innis & gunn are translating fur me noo.

I use a lump reducing ring EVERY time I light the egg. If I heap it over the top of the ring, I can get at least 12 hours which cover almost every cook I'd do (pork butt, brisket, etc.). I modified mine and attached a grid on the bottom (with just 2 lock nut washers) so that I can shake the ash out after each cook.Works nice...Packerland, Wisconsin

I just push it more to the middle with the ash tool.
The sifting idea is pretty cool.
