will this run low enough to run a 10" cast iron skillet for food stuffs?

Yes, I have used mine for that purpose. Just watch that the wind does not blow out the flame so keep an eye on it. I put a metal wind screen against mine if it's a little breezy . It will simmer !

The cooking surface is 6.25" x 6.25". My 8" skillet fits perfectly. Ditto for the 2qt saucepan I use. I don't think anything larger than the footprint of a 10" skillet would be feasible. Anything with the footprint of an 8" skillet or smaller would be the way to go/ideal.

The lip on under side of this lid is 6 and 7/8 inches in diameter. I don't know the size of the 10" skillet you refer to. You will need to measure for yourself.

I routinely use a large 10 inch pan on my burners, as well as a 12 inch fry pan, so yours should work just fine

Yes, because silicone stretches. With the 10" and 12" skillets, you have to give the holder a little nudge to slide it all the way on (it slides easily on the smaller skillets), but it definitely will fit.

I honestly don't know, but I don't see any reason it would not, especially if you are careful. It might burn up if you put it in a really HOT burner- even empty pans will! but if you use it on the low burner to make it even lower, I'd think it's be fine. My stove is gas, though, so I can't be positive.

I think it would work out OK. Smaller utensils in the top and other cooking items in the bottom. Does not roll real well over larger stone pathways. It would not hold your cook pots.

You shouldn't overhang or cover the cylinder area. I just measured and a 10" won't overhang it at all. A 12 will cover it a little. I've used a 12" skillet and it was fine. The main worry is overheating of the cylinder and control area I suspect.

The pan does go up and down with the handle and the best clearance possible is about 10 inches when the pan is at its lowest position. You could use wood but it would have to be small chunks.

No because whatever is put in the pan cooks fast. Tried doing buscits and the bottom burned. It does not matter how low you set the oven.

I'm not where the skillet is, but I think it is at the top. I measured my regular 10" cast iron skillet, and it is 10" at the top. The Chef's Skillet has lower sides and has a greater curve into the base. It will not hold as much as a regular 10" skillet, but I like it because it is lighter weight, easier on my wrist and arm!

No. You'd need to keep a rack on the lowest set of slides. Otherwise what you are cooking would touch the bottom heating elements.

I would look for something a little thicker, you would need completely cover your skillets for this to work, it's pretty thin.

Bottom is more than 10", and top is even bigger, so it should with ease. And I don't have the issues with the heating element others are describing, I use it a few times a month, it works perfectly.

I've done it and it works just fine, the only negative factors are the size (ie, I don't have a 14-inch skillet) , and it's a little unwieldy when the pan handle is flush against the level of the oven rack. The two handles on this pan are nice.

I use a 10 inch griddle on it for pancakes or grilled cheese sandwiches. It works great.

Not sure about the wattage on the lowest setting, but it says the temperature should be about 150 degrees on low. I think your results will vary depending on how big or small the pot or pan is your trying to use.
