Abstract: A grilling insert is adapted for use in a barbecue grill having a recessed cooking chamber. The grilling insert comprises a double-wall thermal barrier and a radiant heat chamber. The double-wall thermal barrier is adapted for extending across the recessed cooking chamber of the barbecue grill, and for dividing the cooking chamber into direct-heating and indirect-heating cooking sections. The radiant heat chamber is formed adjacent the double-wall thermal barrier, and is designed for holding loose combustible material within the direct-heating cooking section of the barbecue grill. The cooking temperature in the direct-heating cooking section is relatively high, and is reduced in the indirect-heating cooking section by the double-wall thermal barrier.
