Hi all,
Bear with me for a few more minutes for my newbie-ish questions.
My X-girlfriend gave me her old Charbroil Commercial series gas grill.
She had kinda let it go. She didn't cover it up while it was outside and when I picked it up yesterday, birds had built one heck-uva nest in it.
If you're really, really inclined you can read up on Charbroil grills here:
http://www.charbroil.com/Consumer/product_detail_m.aspx?ProductSeriesID=32
The three main burners on the inside work and so does the warming plate off to the side.
According to the link the main burners put out 50,000 BTU's, which I guess would be more than enough to melt lead in a cast iron dutch oven to turn into ingots.
But, how about the warming burner off to the left, at only 13,000 BTU's?
Would that work?
I was thinking about re-using the BBQ grill for food (after I clean it out really well :roll: ), but I'm thinking that most of you are going to say "DON'T DO THAT! BAD IDEA!!" because of the possibility of ingesting lead, even if I could use the warming plate and kept the main BBQ grill's lid closed.
So, I guess a better solution would be to use one of those camping burners from Bass Pro or a turker fryer from say like Harbor Freight.
I do have one of those knock off Coleman camping stoves, but according to the true Coleman website here:

Just one of those burners is going to put out 11,000 BTU's.
I do have an adapter for it so I can use the big tank off the BBQ grill, instead of those little (expensive) cans.
Thanks!
