Highly Modified Char-griller Pro with Side Fire Box

Hi Tom,

I'm a new kid on the block and I dig the mods you did here a lot.  I have 2 similar Char Broiler BBQ's that I intend to mod and this looks like one path I can take for sure. 

I have a couple of questions for you if you don't mind me asking.

Q 1:

     Do you have to use SS pipe for the Gas Burner Mod or can I just use regular Black Steel pipe that I get at any local hardware store like Lowes, Home Depot, Ace, Orchard etc etc?    Black Pipe from Lowes

Q 2:

     Where do you get the Ceramic Tiles and how much are they $? I got then from The BBQ Station in Orlando, I needed two boxes I think they were around $18 a box.

Q 3:

     Same as Q 2 but for regarding the Fire Brick? I got them from a block supply yard, A1 Block in Orlando for $1.98 a brick. Home Depot has them but they want $4 a brick

Thank you,

N2 BBQ

I have a question about the modifications to the chargriller. I have one and i havent purchased a side fire box yet. my question is would most of the modifications affect the use of the chargriller when being used as a grill instead of smoking? i use mine for both and i am thinking about closing the gap with the stove rope, and maybe put grill bricks in the bottome and extending the smoke pipe. Let me know your thoughts.
