Because there would be a lot more oxidation, and a little bit harder to get a real hot fire. It could also consume more fuel. I AM IN NO WAY DISSING YOUR FORGE. Just putting my ideas out there, and wondering why. I can't wait to here of the advantages to that firepot.

Honestly I don't know if a grill is better or worse. I felt like just the tweer would probably not get enough air dissipation under the full diameter of the coal. So i'm not sure if the grill is a bane or a blessing yet. I saw someone had a grill and they swore up and down by it since it's an easily replacable element, unlike replacing the drum/firepot. But seeing as I have a replacable 1/4" tweer I guess it's somewhat of a double up. I definitely want to try "just the grill" and see what the fire is like.. and "just the tweer without the grill" and see what the fire is like. That might lend to my ideas in making a second one. I've also seen the ole clinker breaker inside black pipe setup and yet i've been told by many people that they were not too pleased with that particular setup. From months of investigating back yard forges I came to the conclusion that there's really a lot of ways to do this, everyone thinks their way is the expert way (haha) and clearly results vary.
I'll admit i'm certainly no expert, i'm just going by what the people who thougtht they were "most right" said ROFL
