I bought the grill but I'm scared to use it: Is the Rocket grill safe to use?

Chefs have been using parchment paper for eons. I suspect that there is no problem. If you worry about bleached parchment paper, then you'll also have to worry about all the other bleached papers we use every day: white coffee filters, white toilet tissue, white napkins, white paper towels, kleenex tissue, etc., etc. 8-)

No, I do not think it is safe to use on a burner or grill. It is oven and microwave safe, but not on an open flame.

I always grill with it closed I honestly never saw anything that said to grill with it open. I love the grill the more you use it and not clean it the better the flavor though I know I'll have to sooner or later. Happy grilling.

I am not sure. I have not had this problem with mine and I would not think a normal BBQ grill would get hot enough to vaporize metal into the food. I did wash mine before use so maybe I washed a coating off that was causing the taste. Sorry I can't be more help.

None at all I'm very pleased with this grill. I don't keep it outside, after I grill I always wheel it back into the garage. It's very sturdy and love the option of propane and coal. Hope this helps.

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

I just got mine yesterday and of course used it. I closed the vents and did not look at the grill till this morning, and there were still unburned coals there. I think the overall design is terrific.

teflon is not safe to eat and it should not be coming off of your grill. if it is coming off of your grill when you clean it, then you are cleaning it wrong. you have to use a super soft brush and soap and water to clean your grill. don't use anything besides a soft brush. the easiest way to clean your grill is to unplug it after cooking, wait a few minutes until it cools, then rub it down with soap and water. make sure the oil and juices don't go down any drains or they will clog your drains over time. you will eventually have to pay thousands to a plumber to fix it when it clogs completely. i clean mine outside with soap, water, and a super soft brush everytime i use it. enjoy! teflon is not safe to eat and it should not be coming off of your grill. if it is coming off of your grill when you clean it, then you are cleaning it wrong. you have to use a super soft brush and soap and water to clean your grill. don't use anything besides a soft brush. the easiest way to clean your grill is to unplug it after cooking, wait a few minutes until it cools, then rub it down with soap and water. make sure the oil and juices don't go down any drains or they will clog your drains over time. you will eventually have to pay thousands to a plumber to fix it when it clogs... » Read More teflon is not safe to eat and it should not be coming off of your grill. if it is coming off of your grill when you clean it, then you are cleaning it wrong. you have to use a super soft brush and soap and water to clean your grill. don't use anything besides a soft brush. the easiest way to clean your grill is to unplug it after cooking, wait a few minutes until it cools, then rub it down with soap and water. make sure the oil and juices don't go down any drains or they will clog your drains over time. you will eventually have to pay thousands to a plumber to fix it when it clogs completely. i clean mine outside with soap, water, and a super soft brush everytime i use it. enjoy! « Show Less

I don't think so. I love my rocket grill. I use it daily. My knob broke too. I went on sunbeam . Com and ordered two they were so cheap.

It is safe to use, But with me living in a condo I have to bring the parts in to clean which makes it a pain in the butt. What you need to do is the tray below the burner should be wrapped in alumium, it protects the tray.Also make sure you keep an eye on the metal tin below the grill if it fills up it will spill over. But other then that I love the grill.

Hi Karen, thank you very much for your question. For a properly operating gas grill, you should not have any issues. Occasionally the heat shield or the burners can slide out of position. Sliding everything back in as it should be will alleviate most issues. If there is damage to a burner we recommend replacing it or avoiding that side. Turning the grill down could be a solution as well.The 7" advisement is mainly aimed towards charcoal grills. You want to knock the pile of properly prepared hot coals down. You don't want flaming coals at all. I hope this helps! Have a great day, Jamie Hi Karen, thank you very much for your question. For a properly operating gas grill, you should not have any issues.

You'd have to take off the grill, to prevent injuries (as mentioned above), but another, possibly sturdier and safer, version is here: http://onefastcat.com/

sorry to say that is common withe these types of grills. green egg included. the easiest thing to do is coat with pam and then burn the grates every use. thats not fixing the problem it just cleans them. It's like having cast iron pans. you could bring them inside every use but that may be a hassle. sorry about the issu. :(

No, unless you buy an after-market adaptor kit. More importantly, please don't buy this grill; look at a different brand. You will be so disappointed with the way the non-stick coating burns off of the grates and with Char-Broil's customer service, which is indifferent to a faulty product.

I have put it on a hot grill multiple times. It always makes me a bit nervous, but I've had no problems.

yes, my husband said it was no problem. We love this grill, very sturdy, large grilling surface. Love the stainless too.
