How deep is the pit? Can you fit logs AND grill on top of the cooking grill?

We have only done SMore's on it -- we had logs in it but they were small -- not sure you can grill on it unless you used charcoal or really small logs as the grill would not fit over larger logs -- not really that deep

About 6 in deep. You really want coals to grill in. What works best for us is to start out with charcoal, cook food, then throw logs on. Worked great at places like nascar where there aren't fire pits. Low profile for RV basement storage

The pit isn't THAT deep, and what I've learned is that the logs need to be burned down to coals / embers before putting the grill on and cooking. (Hope that helps you!)

It is not deep enough to fit logs AND grill on top of the cooking grill at the same time. As far as cooking is concerned, I have been told not to burn coals on it, but I ignored the warnings and have cooked on it with hot coals more then once and it did not ruin my pit so far.

It is not very deep at all. You have to be careful about the size of the logs you're using both for width and height. If you stack two layers of logs, you will not be able to fit the cooking grid in place. I didn't care about that because I had no intention of cooking on it.

Being unfamiliar with the Volcano grill, I looked it up. I use this pad with a Weber kettle grill that is 15"-18" above the pad. It protects the wood deck I have it on. The Volcano seems much lower to the ground and I would worry about the heat if you had the pad on a wood surface. You wouldn't need it on dirt. Perhaps it would be useful on concrete, brick or stone, but I don't think it would be "ideal"

The grill marks are not on the top and middle of the stove top grill. Whatever you are grilling would fall through and ruin your burner. The sides, however can drip down, since it is a curved surface and there is a catch rim on the sides.

Yes. you can also probably fit a propane tank under to store. But do know the propane is not used as the cooking source. It is to light the charcoal or lump. It is very convenient to light and to get the coals going. This is an awesome pit for the money.

I got a 13 inch round griddle at Academy Sports and it fits on top of the grill perfectly. A13 inch dutch oven fits inside. Lodge fits perfect and a off brand Harbor Freight had two tabs on the sides that I had to grind off. I love the grill. So versatile and takes up very little room in the camper.

You can tuck it in a corner it should work fine, it is a clean BBQ with the ash pot on the bottom. Happy grilling.

Brian, just measured the grill with both side tables open and it measures approx. 41-42 inches. It might work for you!

Its about 6-7 inches deep... I wouldn't, it has a large King Kooker logo on bottom and may scratch your stove

Just sits on top. The depth is about 6-7". The bottom grate sits too close to bowl. Had to put some bricks in it to get some air flow.

My GRill is 24" deep so I don't think it would work out for you. Too bad , good quality for the price.

I never found a good way. This item is a better smoker than it is a grill. I could never get the coals close enough to the grill to sear a steak, so i got a piece of grate and a couple of bricks and just raised the level about four inches. It works much better.

There is a small little metal removable grill on the bottom of the pit to put your logs on. The bottom of the pit is solid metal, no holes. The grill on the bottom of the pit allows the air circulation.

Yes, it is just about the same size as a BBQ; 24" Wide x 24" Length x 19.7 inches Tall. Although not designed for cooking I have wrapped potatoes in aluminum foil and baked them in the hot coals. I imagine that by placing a grill across to top, you could cook non-fatty foods like corn & vegetables or even fish (wrapped) with some butter, a little water & seasoning. Never cook over an open flame, only hot coals and set far enough away from any combustible surroundings. It is a very nice sized unit, not to big and not to small. It accepts logs and fire of a good size too. The unit should be placed on a minimum of (4) 12" X 12" pavers or (1) large paver of 24" X 24" if the unit is placed on deck or anything combustible. Keep in mind that the bottom gets hot too, so safety first and always. I would also recommend having a can of stove-black paint to keep it looking new and add years to use and life of the unit.

I put a bag of sand in the bottom of the pit. It does not get as hot, but I would be cautious of a wood deck. If you can find a grill Matt to put under it you should be ok.

It is 34" square with 5.5"tile around the center grate & tile that you pull up (which is 22.5" square). The pit is between 6-7" deep depending on if you use the grate or pull it out. It is a nice fire pit. We used it this summer cooking marshmallows and weiners and just enjoying an evening fire.

Gosh yes, and what a great setup THAT will be! I'm sure Weber makes them all to standard diameters, so pick a kit that will fit yours. In terms of making pizza on it, I highly recommend the Lodge Pro Logic cast iron pizza pan, but that needs at least a 21" diameter grill for there to be enough air circulation up to the top. Set up that way, the whole thing can get to 900F quickly and stay there all day. (But in order for it to actually stay there all day, you need to also order (or modify) a grill rack that allows you to feed the fire without having to disassemble everything. Either KettlePizza makes one or they can tell you where to get one.)

To be specific, you could probably fit about 4-5 (2inch in diameter x 1.5ft) logs pretty easily in it. If you plan to pile them up over 6inches high you will most likely start to have trouble placing the top on.
