Does anyone know if there is a way to put this over a weber charcoal grill and keep it in place, or is it just for campfires or firepits?

It's just for campfires. The battery pack and the rotisserie spit are standard but the mounts are specific for a campfire / pit.

There are mounts you can buy to attach it to various charcoal grills. I got a bracket to mount it to my Char-Griller brand grill. I do not know if there is any such bracket for a Weber Grill, but taking into account the shape and design of the grill, I kind of doubt there is one. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

It doesn't come with anything to attach it to a grill. It only comes with what's needed to use it over a fireplace. However, with some fabrication it can be attached to a grill. As I have done this myself. But I had to drill holes in my grill and make a some brackets to hold the motor and the spit.

All you need to do is stabilize the uprights however you can depending on your heat source. Some people will install sleeves with set screws on either side of their Weber. This allows them to raise or lower the crossbar as needed.

You have to have a special bracket. it did not fit my grill. it was to short. for the size of the grill. so i returned it. its also jind of cheap.

Weber used to make a rotisserie adapter for their grills and this will fit that adapter. I have done it before. Without the adapter ring, there's no good way to make it work.

My husband put it on our regular charcoal Weber. He loves it and says it works great! I've notice a difference in his cooking too. :-)

We bought a fire resistant heat shield to put under the fire pit BUT since we have a Trex deck we can't put this on the deck as Trex burns like fuel. But if you have a wooden deck and use caution and a fire resistant shield. Since this can be rolled out of danger, I guess you could, with Caution! But if you're going to get crazy and tip it over, NO, I wouldn't use it on a deck. We use ours on the gravel in front of our deck. As with all thinks with Fire, Use common sense and caution, then it will work.

I haven't done that but it would seem like a great use for it, pretty much the same as doing it over a gas or charcoal grill - heat is heat!

The cover will fit over the grill very nicely, however it will not cover the canister. The canister remains exposed.

i bought for the stove top and haven't used over a fire or coals, but imagine it could be used on a camp fire. i do think the legged version would be better because the legs would give more stability, and also allow the fire to breathe better.

While I haven't tried it, I think the legs are too short. Though, you could probably stack bricks or similar under the four legs to increase the height. If you use a cast iron wood carrier in the fireplace to make sure the flaming logs have air underneath the challenge might be a little greater. The grate itself is cast iron, but since the grate bars are triangular, like a Toblerone chocolate, I imagine the flame will hit a larger surface area of the meat. Not sure it would work well. It might but I don't know. My gut tells me that this grill is best used over a bed of coals.

You probably got a bent lid base if it seems like an issue. Mine is great! It fits pretty nicely. The only open spots are the vents. But to be honest when i use the grill, i put it on diagonally so that air can get to the fuel. In all of my cases, the flame went out every time when the grill was fully covered. So even if it is a little bent, you should be ok. But by all means return it and get a perfect one!

We have a gas stove in our camper and the cutting board fits great over it. Of course, you have to remove it when you use the burners to cook. It has a nice rubber grip on the bottom so won't slide off when the camper gets moved!

The adhesive on the back is relatively strong, so maybe...I put mine on the sides..I purchased some other badges for my grill and it had the same backing, I diddnt trust it so I dabbed some super glue it.it's been 3 months so far and no sign of it falling off

We have sold this to Boy Scout groups for years and they use them for faux campfire. They would put wood around the unit and and this in the center. I am not sure why or how you would would modify. There is a larger version from Chauvet called the Firebird and the Enferno mentioned below from ADJ we sell them both, but they are the same effect, just "taller" and "larger" "flame" effect.

It seems you could put it anywhere you wanted but if u place it on a cooktop and accidentally turn on the burner underneath it you will damage this expensive appliance.Seems risky. I would love to place mine on my gas cooktop so it is under my ventilating hood. I wondered if a fireproof heatproof board could be placed over the cooktop to protect this device in the event one of my gas burners was inadvertently turned on.

This has an adhesive backing. In order to place it there must be a flat surface for it to adhere to. If you had a "grill medallion" base, you could stick this to it, but that would be the only way. It was designed to stick to a flat area on the stock grill or on a relatively flat body surface like a tailgate.

I think anytime you are using something with fire in it you want to put it on a base that is non-flammable but, the dampers are on the side of this grill instead of the bottom so no ash or coals can fall out of the bottom. You will probably be fine. I used mine on my wood deck on top of one of those grill mats you can buy at home depot.

It's pretty heavy and would get very hot; but if you have something safe to hold it up over a campfire, it should work just fine. It's made out of heavy-duty cast iron, already seasoned and ready to be used. I would recommend using a lodge item that has a handle though.

For several months now, I have had mine setting on a nice rolling wooden cart with 6mm thick porcelain tile under it to protect the wood. The tile is glued in place and extends about 40mm beyond the edge of the grill. It looks great and works very well. A high temperature plastic base might be acceptable to use.

I had the same question and couldn't find an answer anywhere. I purchased this on the chance it would work and if you have the grill attachment it locks in and fits over the burner very well. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet but I like the fit and the look.
