Quick question about the 14.5 can it be used as a grill like the mini?

I had a friend come over today and he really liked my mini and is interested in buying a 14.5. He wanted to know if it could also be used as a grill like the minis can. I poked around the WSM site but didn't stumble onto that information, so I'm hoping one of the 14.5 owners could share that information with me so I can passs it on.
Thanks in advance.
 
I made my own....for my 18.5 ;)....this is good for burgers or a quick steak , but for chicken I leave the barrel on and cook on the bottom grate....works excellent.

Yes it can. However remember whatever you cook on your new "grill" leaves that seasoning on the walls of your mini. Hot dogs and greasy hamburgers leave a messy stinky residue. Being that you can pick up a Smoky Joe silver for $29 new it seems hardly worth it.

When I use my mini as a grill it is a smokey joe the smoker pot dosen't come into play as it isn't used and I've had no ill effects from doing so. Just wipe out the bottom and lid and your done if needed.
 
If you can find a Smokey Joe Silver or Gold for cheap on your local Craigslist, the lid would sit right on the charcoal bowl of the smoker.

The Smokey Joe lid won't sit right on the smoker center section though.
