Coal containment ring ?

Posts: 84
Looking for a solution to contain a small amount of coal for quick cooks on my Large. I’m thinking something like a 6” length of 6” diameter carbon steel ring to set in the center and directly on the coal grate. I know many have the mini for small cooks but I’d rather not have multiple grills.
I appreciate any ideas .

I would use a charcoal basket with a divider: https://www.amazon.com/Charcoal-Divider-Accessories-Stainless-Baskets/dp/B07THJG18S

Appreciate all the ideas. I’ll check them out. Looks like more than enough options. Thanks!!!

Got the vortex. So simple. Should have thought about this years ago. -
Remember, you still need to heat the whole egg, regardless if you are using a ring. Just saves charcoal on direct grilling.

Great for making different heat zones. Love my XL CGS lump reducer.
-
Buy a $10 piece of expanded metal and stainless steel nuts and bolts from Home Depot to make your own.
-
That would have cost a bit less than the vortex.

I use a large KAB in my extra large egg, works great for quick cooks. You can move it to one side to work indirect without using the plate setter.
