A press for shaping those little foil containers they package soft pet food in these days? Though not quite sure why you'd have one :)

Again, very creative, but that's not it.

I found the missing pieces(turns out it was two pieces, actually) and attached them(fairly easy), and have taken another photo. I'll upload it today around Noon my time(EST).

Okey doke, I assembled the two missing parts, and took this new picture. Please compare with the first picture to see the difference, so maybe this will help you identify the tool.

The result has nothing to do with charcoal briquettes.

While there is compression involved, the bottom attachment has openings in it's surface. Think compression and extrusion...

Not a spaghetti maker?



I don't think pasta needs anything so rugged, but you're on the right track.

Aaaah. Didn't recognize it bolted to the wall. I have a counter-top version buried in a cabinet in my kitchen. We used to make our own and bake them in the oven.
