yes...i know this sounds stupid, but bear with me. i've acquired a big old outlook gas bbq for next to no cost. i want to use charcoal on it - better flavour etc. am i mad to think that i can just stick a tray containing charcoal into the main 'void' of the bbq and fire it up? just to be clear - i'm not wanting to ever use the gas facility on the bbq, i'm more worried that the heat from the charcoal will be too much for a unit designed for gas. any thoughts gratefully recieved!

Curious...I'd want to get rid of the gas part (which would be ruined anyway by coal debris, I guess) and in its place would need to be a grille to support the charcoal.
So long as there is ventilation from below, it should work!

thanks guys. sunday is the big day - i was hoping to give this a trial run today, but ran out of time. i shall report back, unless it all goes horribly wrong, in which case i will wait until i get better and then report back. what is also interesting is when you go in to B&Q/ homebase and ask for barbecue stuff (charcoal etc) in october. they look at you as if you are mad. doesn't everyone else bbq in the winter...? we bbq'd a chicken on xmas day a few years back...!

why not just sell the gas bbq and get a proper one?
