huh. cool site. Maybe the rebar keeps logs from rolling out? But if it's wood-fired, looks like it could be a cool pizza oven? I'll have to experiment. Science!

yeah, I was thinking of getting rid of that piece of rebar... or putting a couple of bricks at the same level in the back as a ledge for a charcoal pan. Then the grills could both be used and there would be plenty of air under the charcoals. There just doesn't seem to be enough space underneath...

Thanks everyone! Yeah, the whole thing is just do head-scratching, that modding it or making a charcoal basket might be the way to go. I'm renting the house, so I can't knock it out and build something more practical, so might as well figure out some way to use it.

Oh, I just went outside and found another bit of evidence: There are no scorch marks on the bottom of the top half. The black parts all begin about 3 inches underneath the lower grill. So I'm wondering if it works something like this...

It's all open. No doors or hinges or anything.

Yep, the bottom half is just for storage. Maybe there was another piece where the rebar is that would have held the coals, with an ashcatcher below? But if so, there's no other ledge to hold anything up... I could mod it, I suppose, to put a coal shelf in there, if there is, indeed a piece missing

Hi everyone! I hope you'll forgive the newbie questions; I am finding myself perplexed by this grill and figured I'd just go straight to the experts :) I recently moved into a house with this backyard grill. My reactions ranged from, "cool!!" to "what the heck...?" as I'd never seen or used...
