Ive thought it through and cant seem to think why this wouldnt work. I cooked pizza, and steak and chicken with a wood fire going.

Clean the stove out. Put in BBQ briquettes. Light, let burn some, insert meat on metal rack above the briquettes and smoke it.

I know the draft might be weak come 75 degree days. Its in the garage so I dont mind a little back puffing. Anyone ever do this?
 
Works great. And dollar store pans fit perfectly.
