Anyone here into open fire BBQ over real wood?

Isn't that like a 12 thousand dollar grill

30 Thousand

4 thousand dollar economy models.

Jesus $30k for a grill. I need to start a business making these down south.

Slap on a pair of grill nuts and throw in a complimentary Yeti and the oil field crowd would be knocking your door down.

Just dig a hole. That's open fire cooking.

If it's open fire it's not BBQ.

To the bbq snobs that’s called grilling not bbq

Look up "Santa Maria Style BBQ". This is what you are describing and they use grills like the one you posted. You can find cheaper versions with the adjustable grate height. Its sort of a mix between gilling and BBQ/Smoking.

They do something similar at one of the big fairs in South Alabama. Bring in some cinder blocks and make a temporary pit, put some large metal grates across the top, and cook those big turkey legs, boston butts, and brisket over it all day and night. They had pallets of kingsford that were about 6 feet tall stacked up at the end, and a woodpile next to that. From what I could tell they would start a 55 gallon drum of charcoal, shovel that into the pit, and throw logs on top of the hot coals to get to smoking, then just keep feeding it all day.

The wood burns down into hot coals. I’m not up on the definition of what you call this cooking, but this is what I want to do. Cook meat over the hot coals of burnt down wood.

Grilling.

If you want to play around with it on your egg, GAbby's Grill makes an attachment for $200 that supposedly works well, but has a traditional grate, so likley more flareups.
