I'm looking at ways to use less lump and make nightly cooking on my LBGE more economical as well as easy.
Been thinking of a MM or Small but stumbled across Turbostream products and wondered how practical they would be. Definitely cheaper than getting another egg.
Anyone have have the Turbostream system? Are they worth the money? How well do they work?

I first saw them at the Georgia Mountain Eggfest 2 years ago. Met the owner and talked about the design for a long time. Great guy and a very well made, solid, stainless steel product. But I have only seen them demo and have not cooked with them.Thank you,DarianGalveston Texas

I have the system and love it. I use that elevated charcoal basket routinely for grilling. Your grid is close to the charcoal and it uses very, very little charcoal. I haven't used my mini in 3 years since getting that. An excellent accessory that literally gives you two eggs in one........highly recommended~~!!

Looks interesting and all but I personally don't see the savings in charcoal consumption offsetting the cost of the unit. Just not for me, but to each their own.

I have had these products stored in my favorites for a while. They look well made and I really want to find a way to run direct/indirect cooks simultaneously as I do on my kettle. That small basket would be key for a hot sear! The diffuser plate looks like a real good idea, but it sits so low that I know I won't have enough fuel for a big brisket or shoulder clod. Maybe fall short on bone in butts as well. For ribs(or any shorter L/S cook) or baking bread the more even heat distribution would be great.
Some day I will pull the trigger. It won't eliminate my need for the platesetter, but for a reasonable sum can make the BGE more versatile.

Never heard of it before now. Seems like it would definitely save lump on direct cooks, assuming you are only loading half of the food grid. With lump at a dollar a pound it would not take long to pay for itself. When reading lump reviews on the Naked Whiz's page check out the date and price of lump. The price has about doubled in ten years. And lump prices are only going to go higher.

If you like the idea, the Smokeware Fire Basket is another similar option to consider:

Oh boy. More options to consider. This looks to be a nice combination of a "semi Kick Ash Basket" with a divided firebox option. It does not, however, address the lump height for searing like the Turbostream raised basket does.
