Yes, but then what would I use to cook with?
What I have done is use two old Weber charcoal baskets, which I have disassembled, then reassembled using steel wire to form a ring, which I put in the center of the grill. I put a drip pan in the middle of the ring. I then pile the charcoal around the ring as deep as the baskets. I can use wood chunks mixed in, briquettes or lump, anyways, once the pile is set, I dump half a chimney on one spot and let the charcoal go until I get a temperature of whatever I am trying to achieve. Often somewhere between 225F and 300F. I have gotten a good solid 270F burn going for 6 hours this way. If I need longer, I lift up the grate and knock burned ash down and add more charcoal where the starting charcoal burned out.
