Is lookin for wood to cook with.
Howdy. I've got a 36" x 20" offset stick burner (Klose) that I bought used a couple years ago. It came with a heavy duty charcoal grate that sits below the cooking chamber grates and runs almost the whole length of the cook chamber. I believe it was an option when the previous owner bought the pit new. Hope this makes sense...you can see the grate on the right side of this picture. It's leaning up against the garage behind the upper cooking grate. Previous owner just left it sitting in the cook chamber, but I took it out as soon as I got it as it makes periodic cleaning a bit more difficult. I'm thinking I'd like to try doing some chickens over charcoal on this thing, but I'm curious if you all think it's a bad idea or not. I'm just worried that burning charcoal in the main chamber might negatively effect the natural finish inside the pit that's been established. Any reason to be concerned, or am I worrying too much?
The pit has a drain with ball valve so I think cleanup wouldn't be too bad if I were to use it. Just maybe run a hose into the chamber and flush all the ash out of the drain.
