Could i use this on a grill on fire? How about handle? Is it iron too?

The handle is iron too and therefore gets hot. I use it on my gas stovetop - which is fire so assume a grill or other fire would work as well

Yes, it all cast iron. I think you could certainly use it on a grill on fire.

Not on a camp stove. When at the edge of the coals of a larger fire the handles do get hot though. Use a few layers of heavy duty aluminum foil for a lid, it works great.

Yes, but make sure it's not being exposed to heat from the stove. I've got a gas stove and if any of the heat from the flames washes over the pan the handle holder gets hot AND STAYS HOT!

It would not be a good idea to kook on the shovel. 1. the wooden handle could catch fire or scotch and become loose in the fitting. 2. the protective coating could burn and produce toxic smoke and third the heat could un-temper the steel. Thanks for the question.

I haven't tried it in a fire. Ill let you know as soon as i do. Sounds like a good project for the morning.

Get yourself a grillbasket. I use a stainless steel Weber intended for holding food, but I use it to hold charcoal or wood. After the fire dies, I can gently lift it out and sift 99% of the ashes wherever I want. What's left underneath is easy to wipe or vacuum out, Any unburnt coals are left for reuse.

Hi, I do not see why you can't use it on a charcoal grill. I have not used it on one. But I have used it on a smoker & a propaine grill. It is heavy cast iron. It should work fine.

It would but wouldn't be my first choice. That handle will make it difficult and the steel is very thin. Stuff will burn in it if the fire is too hot. I use mine for a dog water bowl.

i would say yes. i read a review that 1 customer would burn a small fire in his grill to roast marshmellows. and i quess it would help burn out the food residue if any. you just cant beat cast iron.

Noreen, this is not electric. I have used it on the grill or open fire. I take it camping, the back yard, the kitchen, you name it. If it is hot, if it has coals, I can cook with it. Noreen, I suggest you go on line and look at the site, http://www.cancooker.com/ all your questions will be answered there. Noreen, I use it a lot. But I am also a huge fan of the cast iron camp fire cooking pans. I think a lot of it has to do with being different and having a great meal to share. Please, make sure this is what you want before you purchase. Like I said, I use it and I love it.

yes,but remember, only over low heat such as your simmer setting. Higher heat settings discolor the metal and could potentially char the wood handle.

Yes. i'm assuming that you could use wood in it. It is a small hibatchi style grill. It is solid cast iron so it weighs like 49 lbs. Solid as a rock. I would use small pieces of wood and flip the top over to use the "high" side of the grill, as wood might flair up more than charcoal. Adjust also the air vent in front to control flame up. I have put small chunks of wet wood mesquite on top and the side of the charcoal to smoke/flavor the meat when I'm cooking. I soak the mesquite wood in water for several hours so that it gets smoky (for flavor).

I don't have a gas stove (although I wish I did!), but I doubt the wooden handle will burn. The popper is tall enough where flames wouldn't reach, and it's wide enough to where the flames wouldn't spread around the bottom of the pot and reach up the sides of the popper. Even if you shake it, I think you'll be fine.

Really now, don't use over direct fire. Let fire turn to coals and kit holds up well and allows you to stir, flip or whaterver you need to do without burning your fingers.

We burn it off every time we use it. Never had an issue. We get it hot enough that we need fire gloves to hold the grill to put our food on it

Honestly? I wouldn't use it near a flame in the way you describe. It's galvanized, which when heated, gives off seriously DEADLY fumes. Use at your own risk, of course....but it's also not a heavy gauge and probably wouldn't last as long as you need. I'd check into non-galvanized, heavy-gauge mesh with a bit larger openings. I hope I don't sound too preachy! I've had a run-in with heating galvanized metal and it wasn't fun.

No, this is not for grilling. I have used it many times as a fire pit for warmth and atmosphere, but it's not good for grilling. At best you might be able to cook a hot dog if it's on a stick. Marshmallows for S'Mores would be ok, too, but you can't set a grill on it for cooking.
