So when is a Inventor going to Make a offset GF?

I could picture it in my head, how it could be done.. Anyone ever given it a thought? I could see it using the same method, of a rack in the fire box, above the ashes/wood where embers fall onto,, and then a stack going up and out of the firebox for charcoal loading. If i am thinking correctly, the GF is basically a offset chamber that burns wood as you insert it below in the box, so then in the offset itself. You could mix in wood/charcoal in it's GF shoot. I guess the big difference is, you only start a offset with charcoal.

Just thinking outloud here, on how maybe you could mod a offset to be GF.

The difference is that a GF is still a fairly sealed system to control the fire. GF depends on a slow smoldering fire which means controlled air intake.

Most horizontal offsets are not airtight and meant to draft and burn clean.

Seems you’d have to solve that too.

T&K smokers just did. Looks pretty interesting

One of the guys in Michigan did this several years ago. It worked well. I don’t know if he still has it or not. Here is a picture I grabbed off of Facebook.
