bbq: We bought an amazing new grill and are wondering to do with our old one other than throwing it out. The burner is shot and we can't find a replacement one but the rest of it is structurally sound I just want to know how to turn it into a charcoal grill or a bbq smoker...I had thought about lining the bottom with ceramic tiling, but I don't think that will supply proper air flow...any suggestions?|||just take the burner out and put the charcoal in. we have done this too.|||Just make sure about how the ashes fall out the bottom .....some are pretty open and may start a fire below if you aren't careful but I have done this before too. It is not perfect because its hard to make a flare up go out by closing the top because its designed to have plenty of air in the firebox. Regular Grill designed for charcoal has better air control.|||You can buy a universal charcoal grate anyplace that sells grills. Use that for the charcoal and you are in business
