Set up a ghetto grill using some old house bricks and the grill grate off an old Hibachi. Burned down regularly firewood to coals then grilled up some aged beef (local, Australian). I've got every type of gas / coal grill you could ever need but this was by far the most enjoyable cook so far. Hot day, cold beers – awesome. Cheers

I’d cook on it!
i have pretty much the same setup but can’t afford bricks so i use logs to support the grill
This is engineering at it’s best
It’s not stupid if it works?
If it works
Some ppl would pay good money for this “rustic charcoal BBQ grill”
Nothing wrong with this grill. Bet that food tastes great.
What is ghetto about it exactly? Looks makeshift to me.
Nice cook though, looks like it tastes amazing.
Perfect
Ingenuity. Nothing wrong with that. Cheers!
The only ghetto grill is on Paul Walls teeth. This looks fun to cook on
It needs a bigger grill to fit the coals burning.
If it works, it works. 👍👍💯
Git er dun!
“Makeshift” works better than “Ghetto”.
Ain’t nothing wrong with that
I’ve seen almost this set up on the BBQ edition of Chefs table.
Easily controllable bed of coals, nice this grate. Looks like a good time to me.
Love it
If you go to old school fancy wineries in Italy, their setup for grilling is more similar to this than any BGE situation. This is legit. Grill on!
That’s beautiful
By any means necessary
Let’s see private backyard, nice Lab and private house. What ghetto is this I want to move in! Also that grill is far from ghetto. Cut an oil barrel in half throw some carbon steel lattice sheet on top with wood fire and then you got ghetto.
fire makes food yummy – I have used worse lol
cheers!
Looks good to me!
That’s absolutely great! Congrats on ingenuity!
Nah… A tilted shopping cart… That is a ghetto grill
If it works
This is all fine until one of those bricks explodes. At best, dinner is ruined. At worst someone gets burned or otherwise injured by flying hot shrapnel. Get some actual fire bricks and this is a perfectly serviceable setup.
Ghetto? Wtf?
There is nothing “ghetto” about this set up. It is a scaled down version of a cinder block pit used to cook whole hogs and large cuts.
Fuck that! That’s bad ass grilling!!!!! I bet the bars get super hot with that setup.
There is something special about going primitive when cooking. It is not convenient enough for every day, but a swinging grate over a fire pit is awesome. This setup looks clean and practical, especially if you were already burning a fire
That’s exactly how a lot of pros do it
Go where people cook everything over fire. This setup is classic not ghetto
Looks like it’s working great
I’m on my way!
Actually, I’m literally on my way. Missus and I are coming to Aus for a 5 month camper van tour, so outdoors grilling of steaks and large prawns is in our future…
More like a righteous grill
Looks fucking good to me.
Ghetto checking in. This looks boogie AF. Nice set up.
Ill post a pic of my ghetto grill Thursday when im cooking my bird. It’s really bad…but kicks ass.
Primitive cooking in a modern setting! 🍻🤙🏽
Why ghetto?
Nothing ghetto about it, that’s a chef and thermodynamic nerds wet dream
Sorry if I caused any offence – I’m an Aussie and I guess we use the term Ghetto figuratively rather than literally. Cooking low tech like this is the best way to go imho.
Doggo’s name is Millie, golden retriever. She copped a few nice lamb bones to chomp on while we ate the prime cuts.
Hope everyone’s well. Cheers.
Shit looks good to me. My only gripe is the amount of charcoal used to cook 2 steaks. Hopefully a bunch more shit got cooked that we didn’t get to see. Either way, I’m eatin…
Bullshit that is a work of art with a beautiful utilitarian function. Be proud of it fellow grill master!
