Borrowed from Wirecutter:
Peter
Bubba’s BBQ grill
The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!
Genius!
If it works… It ain't wrong… 🙂
Does the grill get the ceramic hot enough to melt the ice? It isn't a good insulator.
At a lumber mill in remote Oregon, the crew was cooking chickens for lunch over a 55 gallon drum with expanded metal grating for a grill, and a hole punched in the side for a propane weed burner. Seemed to work well, the chicken tasted great.
It may have come from the same school of grill design.

There isn't much of a connection between the tank and the bowl, just a plastic w/foam rubber drain and two or three bolts with insulating washers that balance the tank on top of the drain. I'm wondering if they plugged that large drain, or is ice also filling part of the s-bend in the back of the bowl?
