Converting NBBD to Make Lump Charcoal ?
I have a NBBD (older model with the heavier gauge metal). After having
recently purchased a WSM, I don't think I will use it (the NBBD) again for Q ing. It's terribly difficult to control the heat, even with the mods, and it's a huge fuel hog. My question to the group is; Has anyone here converted a NBBD to a lump charcoal maker? Do you think it would be a good idea? I was thinking of using the food compartment for the wood, and am in the process of figuring out a way to close any drafts from the firebox. Since the stack has a closure on it already, I would think it could quite easily be converted to serve the purpose of a lump maker. I don't want to reinvent the wheel so if anyone has already done this, let me know how it works if you will. Thanks, Steve |

You make have your work cut out to make it produce charcoal. Let us know how it turns out. |
