Can this smoker be used as a regular grill also. Heat with a grate above it to do regular BBQ.

Although I haven't tried this, I suppose you can take out the middle section and place the grate on top of the charcoal ring. Weber offers a bbq grill that can also be used for smoking, I have a friend who has one and it smokes very well. If you are going to do more grilling than smoking that might be a better choice. Hope that helps.

You can actually take out the middle section and it become a tailgate size grill. You'd just have to watch how much coal you use since the grate would be closer to coals. Otherwise it would be tricky to grill (get grill marks/use direct heat) from even the lowest grate with all sections in place. You could smoke on a regular Weber grill if you're not looking to get too crazy with smoking. My dad uses that quite successfully. Hope that helps.

not very well. The heat source is too far from the grate to get any kind of sear. If you were just slow cooking something, you could but I wouldn't do burgers or hot dogs on it.

It can, but not really what it's designed for. Try the one touch series for regular grilling.

Unfortunately, you can't. The lower grate is the support and stabilizer for the entire grill. Without the grill, it would collapse. The upper spit/rotisserie doesn't provide any support. Even when the unit is assembled, it's very unstable. I've answered A LOT of questions about this grill. Please see my first post on why using it is toxic, and unsafe. I would consider a safer, more well built model. I tossed mine in the garbage.

Hi Scott, Yes you can,but with any open heat source just don't leave it unattended for a long period of time. We love ours very much just the other day I did a roast,potatoes and buns in mine.if you didn't know they make a top rack that's a must have to layer foods.PS we burned a hole in a deck with the weber smoker once,,,Lordy be so I get the question...lolHappy cookin!

I have never tried it, but I don't see why not. It is very heavy and well constructed as are all Lodge products. The bottom might be a little difficult to clean the smoke. All in all, I think it would be about the pizza pan to use on a grill.

You can put a GRIDDLE on it, but not a GRILL. The griddle that you are looking for is the Eventemp Griddle. Fits perfectly.

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.

Yes. But you will need a heat source, unless you are using it as a cold smoker.

Yes, but it would be a bit awkward; you'd be reaching down a foot or two into the smoker to flip the burgers. I'd get the weber kettle if you're mostly doing grilling. You can also do smoking on that by pushing the coals to one side. It's not as easy to manage as with the smoker, but it works.

Not that I know of, but you can improvise with most any grill grate made for a barbecue or smoker.

It can be used as a Large Stand Alone Portable.I think your decision depends how big a grill you want as a portable.

NO!!!! I would NOT recommend purchasing this grill. The bottom cast iron grate is impossible to remove from the grill w/o bending the metal. It cooks unevenly also.

Sure it will work as a smoker, you would have to monitor just like any other charcoal grill The propane is only for starting.

The grill is et for propane. With a change of orifice, it could be used for natural gas. This is a question for Weber.

I have used wood with charcoal to grill and I really like that but I've not tried only smoking. There is good air control on the bottom and on the lid, so it might be possible if you set the air flow correctly. Good Luck

We have used the BBQ for the last year. It is a good smoker as well. But as with any piece of equioment it tkaes some practice to get it right. I wouold buy another.. even though it was a pain to put together in the form of time. it is a good buy.

Absolutely, you can use it as a grill. It works great as a grill! We do more grilling than smoking. Furthermore, it works well as a grill with very few coals.

not to easily. it will be to hard to keep low temps. the grill is really shallow so the charcoal is to close to cook slow the meat will cook to fast and the smoke will have no time to permiate the meat.
