Interesting uses for grills besides cooking...

[MotorCityBBQ]

So maybe I've been going a little crazy lately (smoke inhalation?) but what interesting uses for grills besides cooking do you have?

I want to turn a few smokey joe's into an herb pot next to the grills. Just haven't come across any cheap/free yet. Sacrilege?

Sacrilege?
Unless it is completely rusted out, yes.

Before I turned my cookers into flower pots, I would turn my wife's flower pots into cookers.

Penalty!!!! Surrender your man card for 71.5 hours.


PS: if female, carry on--

What sort of madness am I reading?




Dude.....

Indirect grilling?

I've seen a pic of a smokey joe garage light fixture and grills for storage, that type of thing.

Just a conversation starter.

I think it would be ok if you used what you grew to feed an animal you were going to eat. Otherwise.....

I had thought about building what appears to be a drum set, out of grills, etc..

Use a 22.5 kettle as sort of a laid down kick drum, a couple smokey joes as tom-tom's, and one of those cheap brinkman smokers as the floor tom. The lid from the brinkman could be put on a stand as the snare drum, and the lid from the webers could be hung as cymbals. Maybe a stand with a couple cast iron skillets for the high-hat.

If you used drum stands, you may be able to tilt smokey joes to look like a drum set, but still stand them upright to use as normal.

(Oh, wait....my idea would be an interesting use, in addition to cooking.) Hahaha.

If you really want to re-purpose it, maybe a nice ice chest. or would that be ice kettle?

If they are still able to cook food, them give to your buddies who may need a little help in the outdoor cooking dept.

Speaking of light fixtures. Old steel or aluminum stadium lights upside down Inserted into a terra cotta flower pot with a charcoal and grilling grate installed would make a fantastic hibachi.

Maybe next post will be interesting things you can make into a grill!

[nucornhusker]

Unless it is completely rusted out, yes.I restored a very badly treated and rusted solid redhead and use it to cook. So still no excuse. :caked:

I'm thinking about using my Brinkman as a fire pit.

:idea: On an offset smoker strap the doors shut, slide a TATER down the smokestack pipe, spray aqua velva hair spray into the firebox and lite it off with extended lighter and my friend you now have a tater gun/mortar. :razz: :caked:

If you weld in expanded metal in the top of the stack and load taters from the inside. That's a pretty cool way to make French fries!!!

Actually, if you had a stray lid, a hanging Weber lid lamp would be kinda' cool.

Cool idea, but yeah, they shouldn't have used a redhead. I wouldn't mind having one of those made from a common Black kettle.

here is my herBBQ...have not used COS since I built a uds and got a weber kettle...purple basil in firebox, rosemary sge, and thyme in cooking section (put them in order of somg so I will remember) and hot pepper in exaust.

I live next to bay of fundy and am not confident it get sunny\hot enough due to fog for pepper....

I'm contacting my legislators immediately (or just as soon as I shake this hangover). If desecration of a human corpse is a crime, so should be the desecration by sissification of a faithful long lived smoker/cooker. What's next a zircon studded pink collar for my hunting dog.?


I dream of living in a world where the motive of the chicken is not questioned.

Not as bad IMO because the cooker is still cookin'.

[16Adams]

Herb Pot!!!!!!!!

Ambiguous. Love it.

[Stingerhook]

Actually, my wife uses my barrel to dry herbs from the garden. It gets up to 150 deg on a sunny day and all I have to do is remove 2 cardboard flats to fire up the grill.
