could wood be used in this instead of charcoal

We put hot wood ashes from the camp fire and cook steaks with it. It is not big enough for any logs, but you could use small stuff and wood chips. It is habachi style.

This little gem could easily handle roasting marshmallows over wood or using wood chips. It's a serious little heavy duty grill.

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 have used wood but unless you use very dense wood like mesquite it burns very quickly. Best to use a combination of wood and charcoal. Imparts fantastic flavor.

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.

I would think so, if the pieces were not too long. It is a good quality cast iron.

Probably, but the paint would burn off quickly. You would need a high heat ceramic paint or a charcoal based paste.

no, it is designed for a stove which would be inside where you should never use charcoal.

We use the charcoal to just start the wood, so this would not happen, just keeping feeding the would you intend to use. I would suggest like someone else has already you will want to seal the doors and where it bolts together with woodstove rope sealant you can purchase at a hardware store. This is so it will hold it's heat without loss of heat.

Yes you can, I have used mainly charcoal and mix it with about 15% of flavored woods. Hope this helps

probably not but worth trying. I do use hickory wood chips. got 2 of them, one for home and one for the lake plus neighbor at lake has one.love it.

If you can use wood logs I can't think of any reason why you couldn't use charcoal. The grate openings for the ashes are small enough that the briquettes wouldn't fall through. So should work. Probably easier to cook pizza with.

I use charcoal to get fire started the just use wood to do the smoking , works good for me that way

As long as the charcoal grill has a grate on top, i dont see why not. It just comes as a roll, so you could just cut it to whatever shape you want.

It has a grate for the wood and then another grate for cooking. It's not very deep though so charcoal would probably be the best option if you were going to cook on it.

Yes but you risk losing heat as the coals die. You'd do better with a grill you could add fuel to or a gas grill

I have never tried it, but if you put two together in the middle and put the charcoal around it you can achieve much the same thing.

I use hardwood coal and regular charcoal. I always put 2 layers of aluminum foil under charcoal also. Less mess

I have used chunks of different sizes with good results. Neither chips or chunks will burn to ashes so what remains can be used to add smoke when grilling with charcoal briquets.You will have to use more chunks than chips though to get the same effect, because food apparently absorbs more smoke flavor early on before cooking temperature gets high and chips will initially outgas faster during that stage.

I would not recommend it. The unit can be VERY smoky when starting it up. It is definitely an open flame. Once the wood has caught fire it behaves like a high intensity gas burner, and is much hotter than charcoal. It's fast and excellent at what it does, but does not do low, slow heat.

I don't think wood would be effective to produce a hot enough flame for cooking. these little stoves are designed to use cans of Sterno heat or fuel cubes.

Yes you can. You will need to put a can or something to keep the wood in though so the heat and flame can be concentrated. It looks like the metal is coated in Zinc to make it rust resistsant so I would not build a fire in the thing unless you want zinc poisoning.
