Can I put bricks in a Weber grill?

I’m going to be using a Tromp King style device to make gyros, but it needs to be set on the bottom grate due to the spike height.
Can I put a couple of backyard bricks on the bottom grate to lift the meat up above the coals around it, or is there an issue I’m not considering?

In a SmokeFire?

I’m going to assume it’s a Weber kettle….since you mentioned charcoal? Anyway I’ve seen bricks used as helps to cooking so I see no problem with their use at all.

Use white fire brick if you can-it is made to take heat.

I bought one of these vertical spits too planning to make Doner Kebap in my Smokefire. While researching making Doner and Gyros at home, I realized that functionally a horizontal rotisserie on a grill would more accurately recreate the cooking conditions in a Gyros shop because the heat source is below rather than behind the meat. A horizontal rotisserie also has the advantage that it self-bastes vs. the juices running down and dripping away from a vertical spit. YMMV.
