The fire is really held at the bottom of a shallow conical dish, which 
must also help to reflect heat upwards over a larger area than the 
surface area of the fire.  The diameter of the grate is 8.25 inches, and 
the height of the cooking surface above the grate, (dia 14in), is 3 
inches.

I meant to say that at the end of a cook, any remaining char gets tipped 
up into the same biscuit tin I use to save my stove char, so none gets 
wasted.

My BBQ is 100% cast iron, but we bought some additional ones recently 
where the body was sheet steel and only the grate and grill were cast 
iron.  They seem to work just as well.
