Recently Cal said he likes to use mojobricks in his FEC.
Has anyone tried them in their PG?
Which size did you use, where did you locate it and what was the result?

I've tried them and do use them in the PG for comps.
I have laid them on the back side of the firepot, have used some wielded wire to make a shelf to the side of the fire pot and used them there, have made a wielded wire extension from the little hand made shelve and used them at the level of the heat shield.
My experience with them on the PG is that they burn real quick, I have started wrapping them with foil to help with the ashes blowing around and to slow the burn time.
My next experiment,when I get a wild hair, will be to cut them down in size and lay them in the ash tray.
They make 3 different sizes, so you have a lot of options to choose from.As of the present time I use the large Hickory ones and lay them over the heat shield on the very front part, they are wrapped on 5 sides with foil. I really can't tell a lot of difference when it come to flavor, but I think it does help a little with color.
If you try them, please update us on your findings, thanks in advance!

Cal,
Thanks for the fast reply.
I'll be giving them a try. Let me know if you do any more experimenting in an attempt to find the best location and way to use them.
Do you think that one might work directly on the left rear of the grate?
I'll let you know about my trials and failures as well.

It will prolly take a long time to start smoking, you may need to use a small torch to start a corner then set it there?
It takes about 20-30 minutes longer to get smoke when I wrap mine in foil, but I usually warm my grill up an hour before putting on meat.
The middle size brick is about 45 minutes of smoke and the large about twice as long when I use them about the firepot shield.

I'm looking forward to trying them...
Order was placed today and it appears that they will be in the mail tomorrow.

Thanks for the heads up on these Cal. I've ordered 3 flavors of the middle size and look forward to trying these when I grill...especially with Tri Tip or a big fat Porterhouse. Planning to sear each side for a couple minutes then indirect till finished so they pick up the smoke from the brick.
I was going to see if a 600* or higher grill would get them lit, but your idea of starting the brick with a torch makes sense. I'm looking forward to trying them.

Don't think you'll have a problem with them lighting Pags, at 600*.
