Changing to Charcoal / Wood

[Frantz]

Well, my gas grill is all but shot. it might have a little life left in it, but not a ton. By the time I repalce all the parts needed, it will be almost as much as buying a new one.

Sooooooo, I am moving to coal/wood. One jsut like this http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10854137

Any suggestions on learning to cook with the coal? I have been gas most my life. Also, any suggestions on how to best vent one of these for smoking or slow cooking by building a fire on the small side and placing the meat in the other?

Big change, alot more babysitting, but a ton more flavor. Can't beat charcoal.That unit is not a wood burner, even though they advertise it as one. If you preburn the wood, It can be done, but to actually toss logs in there, you will not be happy with the outcome.

Congrats on the step up .;)
