    It’s used in a lot of smoking/roasting applications to keep the moisture in. Just don’t let it touch the element and you should be fine.

    What is this, “el-em-ent?” I don’t understand. Are you talking about the hot coals?

    (On a related note, Hank Hill was wrong.)

      Lol, yeah, essentially coals. An element (or coil) is what’s used to heat a standard convection oven or toaster.

        To add, this is for electric heat. Not gas.
