They work surprisingly well as buffers to even out the heat. With them in place, I can load about an entire weber chimney worth of fuel in there, so I'll get about 1/3 of a chimney full of k-briqs going, then dump that in there along with about 1/2 to 2/3 of chimney of unlit briqs plus smoke wood and let the minion method do it's thing - end result: about a 6 hour cook with no adding of fuel necessary.
I have the fire bricked 22OTG going right now with a small pork shoulder in it - it's holding 240F nicely.
Make sure you get firebricks, not red clay or concrete bricks - the latter two can shatter.
