Can I leave it up in the winter> It snow occasionally here. Also can you use a propane heater inside the structure or use a BBQ?

The gazebo can be left up in the winter, but we highly recommend clearing snow from the roof if you have any accumulation.You can use a propane heater so long as the gazebo is properly ventilated, and if your propane heater is the type with an exposed flame then you would also want to make sure that you do not have any flammable materials (such as gauzy curtains) near the heater.You can use a BBQ inside the gazebo but even though the roof is vented, frequent use of the BBQ may create a small layer of soot on the ceiling.

This thing is amazing, it's been up for two really rough winters here in New England! This past winter was unreal, it held six feet of snow till we could reach it with a roof rake, still strong as ever... highly recommend. Ours is on a cement slab.

IMHO, Absolutely! I have used mine for over a year...outside. It is mounted on the corner of the house, beneath the over hang from the roof. It has snowed, hailed and experienced negative Fahrenheit temperatures this winter with no trouble at all.

I would not leave it outside for the winter for two reasons. One the housing is plastic and if water was inside it would freeze and crack. Second the inside float is cardboard like and it would deteriorate.

Same as the others have stated. Outside only. Maybe under an Umbrella or a completely open shelter type structure in a park or a car port, if the weather turns on you. The SilverFire hunter stove is a good option for venting the smoke outside. That requires modifications to your structure of course. Do you have a fireplace?

I would not, it gets really hot. We used it in our fireplace this winter when the grill got snowed under. Does work well for what it is.

Yes, you can remove the top but I believe the entire thing is supposed to be dismantled and taken in for the winter, especially if you want it to last. I don't think it is designed to stay outside in the cold.

I live in Maine and my shelter just went through its first winter without any noticeable problems. I did push snow off with a broom from the inside when it was more than 5 or 6 inches deep. I recommend you shovel it away from the sides of the building too. I use it to keep my firewood dry.

Yes, definitely! I use mine year round in Seattle. It is insulated and I've actually cooked at 500 degrees in a snowstorm in Reno on our first unit during initial testing. If it's real cold out remember that the steel and the stones are very cold as well and will take longer to heat up to cooking temps. You can also remove the upper fuel grate and build a bigger fire right on the firestarter grate in the firebox. I'd also recommend using all high heat woods like Oak, Maple or Hickory for a hotter fire.

Dunno. If you need advice on setting up, I can gelp you with that. I take it down every winter.

Since it runs on propane, I would not run it in an unvented enclosed space. I haven't used it below 40 yet. I hope in an open garage it can be used in low temps. I suspect it can be.

Good evening,To be honest these Grill Gazebos are not rated for a snow load. If you keep it up all year long I recommend keeping the snow off the gazebo during the winter. This will for sure protect your investment for years to come.Thanks,John C.

I wouldn't because this one puts off more propane fumes. For that I would use a Mr. Heater. It is a radiant heater with almost no fumes.

I think it could be used inside with a proper location. You would need room for it and the propane tank, and venilation.I would not recommend it though.

You can leave it outside, but I do turn mine over to avoid freezing which does not allow it to work during that part of the year.

Yes you can store the motor on its side, also propane motors never need winterized, propane fuel last stable for a 1000 years, no fuel issues or gummed up carburetors, back up generators always run on propane or natural gas so they always start when needed.

There is no access through the canopy itself. The basic canopy does not have a front or rear enclosure so if you plan to use for summer BBQ then plan BBQ/Stove at enterance. If your plan is to use with full canopy enclosed with a stove then there is no direct exhausting unless you insulate pipes and go either under the canopy or between the roof flap and the sides. Winter use is not recommended as the canopy is not insulted as all and is not sealed.

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!
