That would be awesome! I'd love to do it myself, but at $15/pot + real charcoal for fuel, it's not a cheap proposition to get real data here.
Maybe not an explosion, but you scale it up far enough and the bottom of the grill will fail, dropping a mass of very hot coals onto whatever surface you're running it on. Say, a wood deck. Attached to the house. The thought was not far from my mind yesterday, particularly after the plastic handle on the clinker trap started smoking a bit. You wouldn't quite be able to forge this way, without an induced draft of some kind, but it's close.
