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
