I can’t go to Home Depot in the fall.

Plan was to weld half a air tank in place of where the fire box is....with some other modifications.

If the whole thing gets screwed up, I'm out $300 and a few hours of time which sucks but I've enough other kinds of grills, but not a sick burner.

Its currently unassembled in a box. So its gonna need built either way, and mods shouldn't be to hard in this regard. I'll really probably only use the cook chamber.

Probably will strip and put some new paint on it as well. Its a project....

Just use charcoal as a coal base then use wood chunks or small sticks and you won’t have a struggle with fire management and will reduce paint peel. If you try to treat it as a true offset you are gonna have a tough time

...of course, as I think of it now, there always is risk to using something in a way it wasn't designed for.

Think the flavor/product would be the same with just a charcoal bed and splits?

Of course it will taste the same. I have a big 3/8in thick offset. I always start with a coal bed before adding sticks. Only difference is you will have to add charcoal periodically. As long as you are continuously adding wood from time to time you will have properly smoked meat. You don’t even need constant wood burning and you will still have a fine smoked product.

Maybe I'll assemble it and try it. Can always modify things later.
