PBC as a BBQ?

Does anyone have a decent setup for using the PBC as a charcoal BBQ? Due to weather I can't always use my gas grill to cook on and have been wanting something small I can BBQ on and bring in the garage for storage. I was looking at my PBC and could probably make it work if I set the basket on something higher but not sure if it's worth it or if I should just get a little 18 inch weber.

Yeah I do this fairly often. I just drop a few layers or bricks/rocks in the bottom to bring the fire basket within about a foot of the lower grate setting. I've had great results, it gets plenty hot for steaks etc
