My brother in law just bought a Members Mark Hybrid Grill Model GR3055-014684.
(i tried to paste a link to the sams club website here but was told the thread in my link did not exist)
He lives 2 hours away so we have been discussing possible modifications over the phone and through email.
Quick description:
propane side (cook chamber) is 17" wide, 21" long and measures 15" from top of lid to bottom
Charcoal side (fire box) is 17" wide, 21" long and measures 20" from top of lid to bottom
there is a full depth divider between the two sides. The top half of the divider is in the lids and the bottom half of the divider is fixed from the cooking surface down to the bottom of both chambers.
(I tried to paste the link to the bbq calcuator here but was told that the thread didn't exist.)
My modification ideas are to put the lid with the chimney over the propane side and not the charcoal side as instructed and shown in the picture. Than according to the calculator, cut a 57 sqin hole between the firebox and the cooking chamber. My thought is to cut this as a 4" x 15" hole about 2" down from the top of the support. I'm thinking the chamber-to-chamber opening would be better to be wider than deep. Than add the high temp silicone around both lids.
According to the calcuator the 3" diameter chimeny needs to be 50 in long. It is roughly 7".
What are your thoughts on the modifications and what do you think we should do for the chimney?
Thank you.
