I use a pair of 2" thick firebricks to create the divider wall from the fuel area to the cooking area in 22"OT that I turned into a smoker. Works great.
Later this year I'm going to try a terracotta round (flower pot base) as the lower baffle/heatsink in my ECB (it's actually a Char-Broil, but same exact design as the ECB) that I use for smoking chipotles.
