providing a barbeque device for setting the temperature within the charcoal barbeque grill, the device comprising: the charcoal barbeque grill having a hollow body and a charcoal grate which fits within the body, the body defining an inner diameter at a location where the charcoal grate sits within the body;
a cylindrical metallic barrier;
a plurality of fire blocking barriers, each fire blocking barrier having a dual wall and being disposable between the cylindrical metallic barrier and the body, the plurality of fire blocking barriers disposable at a distance from each other on the cylindrical metallic barrier, wherein each of the fire blocking barriers extends from the cylindrical metallic barrier to an inner surface of the charcoal barbeque grill and a bottom edge of the cylindrical metallic barrier to an upper edge of the cylindrical metallic barrier, a distal edge of each of the fire blocking barrier conforming to a shape of the inner surface of the charcoal barbeque grill for blocking burning charcoal located on one side of the fire blocking barrier from igniting charcoal located on an opposed side of the fire blocking barrier;
a plurality of fuel paths disposable between the cylindrical metallic barrier and the charcoal barbeque grill and starting from each one of the plurality of fire blocking barriers and extended in a first direction;
wherein each of the plurality of fire blocking barriers has first and second opposed side surfaces spaced apart from each other;
disposing the cylindrical metallic barrier of the barbeque device within the hollow body of the charcoal barbeque grill;
