Well, I'm not sure who you're replying too given that you
chose to not include any of the prior post but given the
"gist" of your post, I'll "assume" that it's a reply to my
post earlier.

You're absolutely right. It will work fine. Until you do
enough ribs and brisket (assuming that you're really smoking
them at around 225-250dF) and the bottom of the grill builds
enough grease to catch on fire. You'll understand using the
right equipment for the proper job when that happens to you,
as it did to me.

Trust me, it *will* happen unless you scrape the bottom of
the Weber out after about 2 or 3 uses as a "smoker" which
it's not. The "smoker" attachment works ok to give a hint
of smoke to grilling but I'd still advise against using it
to do any amount of real smoking.
