Can the grill be carried while the coals are still glowing?

It can if you are just looking to relocate the grill. Place the lid on, close the upper air vent, and place the travel/storage bar across the handle. Once the grill is relocated I would remove or open the travel/storage bar off the handle until grill has cooled. Hope this helped.

I suppose so...put on the lid and clamp it down would be my recommendation. Not sure transporting any distance is a good idea. It would be hot, so leather mitt "just in case."

I would not carry it for a long period of time. You can place the lid on, close the upper vent, and close the travel bar across the lid to relocate the grill. Do not leave it in that position if you plan to continue to grill. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't move it, I've had the legs and locking handle fall off when it's been in my trunk.

i don't see why not, but why would you light it and then carry it elsewhere?

yes it is get yourself a a lighter that you us camping to light grills. you can get one at dollor tree for a buck. open the screen guard turn your wick up lift up the mantle just so you can get the end of the lighter in after lit make sure the mantle is set down in place. a good way to know is turn it left to right

No, the coals and grill grate are fixed. But you can put all the coals to one side or in the middle using the coal holders. That way you can have direct or in-direct heat.

My crew was using these to pick up and move hot oysters and grill pieces and they worked well for that. They have a rubber or vinyl coating that looks like it might possible melt if you moved glowing coals. Perhaps a wet leather glove would be more suitable.

The grill gives it the stability it needs to stand straight. I suppose if you stacked rocks around the legs to hold it you would not need the grill. Hopes this helps. The whole thing is not heavy at all. I am an small framed, older woman, and I pick mine up, and move it all the time by myself. If you are hiking though it may become heavy after awhile.

Yes you could but consider that the smoke created by the grill is the same depending on what you are grilling regardless of the fact is electric

Not really -- just put all the coals in one section of the grill. You'd probably want to do this even when cooking for a larger group -- make a banked fire. You can do your grilling directly over the coals in order to get a good char on steaks and burgers, and use the side away from the coals for cooking at a lower temperature (for thick cuts) and furthest away as a warming area until serving.

I wouldn't use it for grilling but I imagine it would be ok if it was not directly over the flame/coals. I use mine often with a standard stove and love it.

Not without removing the handle and the propane regulator and the handle will not fit in the bag with the grill.

Yes, provided you don't have a permanent resting grill on the top of the lid.

Yes you can. It is very portable. There are attachments made to mount this grill on a boat. Denny

I've never placed it on coals before, but you should be able to. It would make the bottom black, but it shouldn't affect functionality.

No. There isn't any mechanism to change the level of the coals or the grill top. After using the grill a few times you will have a pretty good feel for it.

I have not tried. I have briefly handled the grill grate in my BBQ since I need to move some coals and all I felt was a little warmth. If I were to pick up a burning log in a campfire I would only do that if there was a section of the log that was not on fire. I am confident I would be protected from surrounding heat but I wouldn't attempt direct flame contact. That is what fire poker and tools are for.

Yes. It will hold platters of hot food. I would not put something on it you had directly on the grill to cook with though, like a wok or something that was directly on the coals

The decision and risk are yours, but I can provide some useful info. The inside obviously gets flaming hot. The rim and legs, i.e., the parts that would touch you deck, are not too hot. The pit's pan has a solid bottom, so no coals will fall through. If it was my deck, my primary concern would be sparks popping out. But this fire pit comes with a screened lid heavy enough to stay in place. The only remaining spark risk is when you remove that lid to roast marshmallows or to add more wood. I suppose you could get some sparks or even small coals through the pan's wider-meshed sides if you build up the coals too much or fail to clean out the ashes between uses.
