Does the top grill grate come off? Can you run it as a fire pit without the top grill?

Yes, the top grill grate comes off. Both the bottom small grate and the top grill grate can be used or removed.
2062708
YES to both questions! There are two "grills". One that sits at the bottom which your "firewood" (however you want to define that) is supposed to rest on and the top which can be used to cook on. I use mine all the time without both grills (or the spark cover) and it works GREAT. Again, keep in mind I don't use "firewood" for mine. I'm a huge fan of the compressed wood bricks. If you Google that term you'll find all kinds of vendors.

There is a grate for the bottom then another one you can put on top to cook on which is removable

Yes, the top and all of the grill grates comes off. It can function as just a pit.

It does not. It comes with a solid bottom; the instructions recommend putting some sand into it. The decorative perforations in the side allow air into the pit. But as far as directly under the wood...nope. No grate. A grate would be a nice addition; there's been mornings I noticed a piece or two didn't burn all the way to ash. That would never happen if there were a grate. You'll need to prep the fire like a boy scout & be prepared to move things around with tongs or a poker every now & then. All part of the fun, I think.

You just set the Mangrate on top of the existing grate. It's not a "replacement" grate. I assume your Weber will be big enough to accommodate them. I'm using them on a very small table-top gas grill.

Yes, the grill comes off easily from the stand so you can use it on the counter top and dining table.

I think you can remove from the front, it is how I installed it. Good grill, high heat.

The grate lifts from the front and rotates up and stands on end at the back of the grill. This provides easy removal of ashes and easy entry of charcoal. I am quite happy with this grill. Enjoy.

The brick is a good idea to use . I have used mine without the grate with no problems

No the grill is not removeable, but I notice that it is easy to wipe clean with a paper towel. So far food does not get cooked on like my old one.

I've used one of these before. If you remove the grill from the cart, you will still be able to cook on it. I'd suggest putting rocks or some other type of inflammable material beneath it so the surface is not touching the ground. Another option- take the cart apart. It only takes a few minutes to take it apart and then put it back together. Another option, after removing the grill from the cart, lay (or is it ly) the cart on it's side and put it in your vehicle. Put small gear, six packs, boots, flashlights, etch inbetween the legs of the cart and that space won't be wasted. Sure wish I could find one of these on craigslist. Very good product.

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.

Has anyone used this grill with a separate skillet or grill on top of the grates. For instance, to cook bacon and eggs outside when camping?

Nope. The lid will sit on it just fine without the grate. We've never even used the grate!

The top could be used as a "portable grill" with out the cart, but the "cart" "firmly attaches" to the grill (you wouldn't want it any other way). It would take some time to remove the grill from the cart (keep assembly instructions if you want to do this). If I have an "event" with no other grill available, I'd take the time to separate the grill from the cart and use it as a portable.

The fire pit has a vent on the bottom, and although there is a cover you can rotate to shut the vents, it could be a problem. I have mine on a paver patio.

The grate comes off. It actually has holes on the side where you insert the legs. And its by far. Yhe best camping grill ive ever used.

I guess, but I wouldn't want to. Its a decorative fire pit - not a barbecue. There is no cooking grate and it is pretty low to the ground.

Yes the grill removes very easily from the base for transportation. We have had our for a couple of years now and just love it!!!!
