Converting a gas grill to a charcoal grill

So a guy asked me to pick up a gas stainless steel amana grill,
and well shoot to me its way too nice to scrap and probably could fix the gas burning line thing.But I hate cooking on a gas grill im a charcoal guy has anyone tried converting one?

I converted my cast aluminum CharBroil grill to charcoal a couple of years ago after finding out that those cheap stainless burner replacements they sell at Menards are JUNK and last only one maybe two years. The only thing you really need to do thou, is plug all the extra holes in the bottom of the grill or the coal gets to much air and burns to hot & fast.
I did some pork chops and spuds wrapped in foil last night. Yumm

My dad converted one years ago, filled in the holes & mounted the grill part on a huge piece of cast pipe he sunk in the ground because the cart was toast.

The pipe is still laying next under the deck outside, meant to take it last load and forgot it.

That was a great grill...after it was converted.
