I understand what you are saying, I suppose I should have added if the cost was worth it. The DO does such a good job with economical briquettes for baking, is it worth the money? No doubt it would if one often baked their own bread for instances.
With the briquettes on top of the lid by itself with the grill cover, you lose a good bit of heat. Also, if you have any breeze going it's going to cause those briquettes on top to burn faster. The cover will act both as a wind block on those upper coals, but as swtgran mentioned, it keeps the heat inside making it more like a true oven. Sort of like putting a Dutch oven in the oven at home.
