Now why in the world would I want that. I have six cookers, four of decent sizes. I live in an apartment. I have no room for lumber. And I don’t cook as much as I used to bein it is just me & Emma. But, …………. MCS………KBQ………. True wood smokin in the breeze,…….the aroma of the cookin……
In the link I posted which goes back to the original post, someone tagged in Bill at KBQ to get his opinion of the mod:
“It'll work fine as long as you use KBQ-sized logs (Red Bull to common brick in size), loaded with the grain oriented horizontally, and fill it only halfway up.”
I can’t say one way or the other but only filling it half way seems to defeat the purpose of making it twice as tall? I guess either way it will work.
I would think the taller firebox would be a waste of wood. Stacking that much wood in the firebox would casue it to burn top really fast. I also do not know how he tied the poppets in as well. It would be interesting to talk to this guy about the mod.
Modified firebox is interesting. I wonder if Bill made that for him or he did it himself. It seems to be well made mod, but I would think you would waste a ton of wood while cooking on it. I would like to see how he tied the poppets in as well. At first, I thought it was a trick with the photo, but that is a modified firebox.
Looking at the pics, it looks like the mod is bolted on and might easily be removed, restoring it to a stock KBQ. Would definitely be worth asking about if someone were near the seller and interested.
