Can you set it on a plastic folding table or does it get too hot underneath it? If not, what do you set yours on. wwe will be using this for an RV.

We use ours camping also.Plastic I don't know. We always put ours on the picnic table with legs on grill extended of course.

We keep ours on tile and concrete slab. The pictures from cuisinart showed it on a table outside with propane tank next to it. It cannot be used indoors.

I have mine on a hard plastic folding table, no problems, this my second grill on the same table.

I would never try that! I would put a board on the table and then set it on there and it will be fine.

I let mine get up to about the limit on the thermometer and it did not seem that hot underneath. I would try it. just monitor it. It would not take more than a piece of aluminum foil laid on the table to reflect the heat.

The table top is plastic, pretty heavy-duty plastic, but I'd still be very careful about heat from your grill. You'd want to protect it from discoloration or warping. But it is compact, sturdy, and fine for holding food, so likely suitable for the other things you want to do with it.

The frame does get hot but not enough that it would melt the plastic table I was using it on.

If a dish is hot, such a fresh cup of coffee or bowl of soup, large casserole, etc., put a trivet or coaster or place mat under it. The plastic will wrinkle if extremely hot items come in contact with it, and I have no idea how badly the plastic would/could be damaged if it was left there. I have had no damage from hot items on the plastic, but I was already in the habit of putting something under anything hot.

We used the table last night. I have a wok I put on top iof the flame and cook in it. This is a better table than the more expensive ones. I know. I have one of those in NC. We added more lave rock and logs. After it's been buring for about 20 minutes they all start to glow and radiate heat. We actually have to turn it down. Hope this helps you. It's a great table but I'd buy extra gravel and a set of logs.

I placed on my wooden dining table and all okay. If concerned, place on a wooden cutting board and to check the heat. I also have a nice buffet, but put down a clear plastic only because then I don't have to worry about spills.

It is made just like any other fold up table. You could use it as a patio table I would assume. We use it for a dinner table on our rv trips and leave it out the entire trip. We love it!!

It could be set on something, but not for use. It would get too hot unless you are pulling air through the hood to keep the temps down. Even then, it would probably lose some light coverage. Best bet is to hang it. It has some weight to it, so if you have to make a mounting structure make it sturdy.

I'm using mine to set a ps4 on top to keep it some what cooled down istead of lying it on a solid surface creating more heat in between. fits just right are you using it obviously for a laptop right still no matter how you place it, its better then on a solid surface.

The base does get hot during use. For stability sakes, I would keep it on level ground.

We use our's for our RV. We set it on the ground and use rebar that my husband bent to keep it in place.

I mounted ours in the garage, love the heat and love the remote - there is a lot of heat that comes off this bar. i would be afraid that it might catch the awning on fire. There is a tall heat lamp that I also purchased - not the table top model - taller like a floor lamp - love this product too.

I folded a piece of foil ..maybe 3 layers thick and pressed it between the metal heater pad an the coffee tank..this fixed the problem for us and it still keeps coffee hot enough.

I have left it outside in the summer with a plastic cover over it, but it folds up nicely and I hang it in my garage for the winter, I suppose it could be left outside during the winter if you covered it with a plastic grill cover.

Daniel: If you have a 4x5 foot piece of plywood set it up on some saw bucks and a couple of stools and you will have a nice plat form for the tracks and also comfort while having hours of race time. Also I have one of those things with 2 fans in it for my lap top computer and after each race it works great for cooling down the motors. If you do this you will keep from over heating them. Have fun

The table top is not the best built. Ours has become a little loose. I wouldn't recommend putting something super heavy on.

Provided that the surface is strong enough, yes. It is rather large so I would perhaps measure out the dimensions to make sure you like the look of it. But it doesn't seem to run hot or anything that would be of concern for setting on a table.
