Can the legs be easily removed (to use over a fire hole), and then put back on when using with campfire ? Also what do you use as a case?

It folds up flat so it would work over a hole. Not sure if the legs can be taken on and off.

No, the legs are not removable, but they do fold neatly into the frame, so you can probably use it over a fire hole. I use it in my fireplace, so I don't need a case. You could probably get away with using an old backpack that you don't mind getting dirty. I can tell you that it is well made and study. Hope this helps.

It would be tricky. You would need to put bricks underneath the narrow legs so that they don't fall through the gas grill grates.

I do not believe it will fit in the fireplace opening. You could however cut the legs down a bit with a hacksaw. I only use mine in the campground.

Yeah, the are attached by what looks like two small solder joints, one on each side of each leg, but it looks easy enough to bend and snap off, or even a dremel, or small handsaw could probably cut right through it. a dremel would be the easiest way to go. its only 11$ so its not too big of a loss if it doesnt work out right, but i do a lot of handy things and modifying things myself so in my opinion if i wanted the legs off I would definitely give it a go without hesitation. :) just use a metal file to soften the edges if you do decide to try it out so you dont get hurt on sharp edges.

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.

Yes of course. This is a full cast iron product, any and all full cast iron can be used over a campfire as long as you know how to set it up so your food wont fall off if the coals/logs shift position. As long as it is stable, then yes it can easily be used just like a griddle with a bit of an edge to keep the food/grease inside.

Not really, but the water will come out the leg holes once you put the sand in to be a base. Between the side open grill, the sand you put in and the leg inserts we've never had it get waterlogged. Even with some rain the sand absorbs much of it and the fire will steam it right out.

I would set the legs on concrete blocks, stepping stone type and not build a huge roaring fire. Love mine, hope you find it camp fire relaxing, just be careful with fire.

No. I would not use this unit over an open camp fire. They are made for use for over a portable camp stove like one that uses a butane fuel container.

I do not use a grate. The pit is shallow. If I used a grate the fire would be too high and could possibly roll out of the pit.

I would go with other options. This is ideal when used with the small jet cooker but not on an open camp fire, IMHO.

It would be easy to remove as it is assembleb. However would probably impact the stability of the side legs!!

It's designed to stand over a low wood fire. I have only used it outdoors in a fire pit; works fine.

Danelle, I didn't use this fire bowl as is. What I did was to buy 45 wall retaining blocks, the kind with a circular hole going through the middle, and made a fire pit stand. I then top the fire pit with concrete caps. Everything was held together with concrete adhesive. I put this fire bowl on top of my fire pit (I didn't even use the base that went with it). It's very sturdy and beautiful! If you want to see a picture of it, give me your email to hautran@bellsouth.net I'll email you a picture of the fire pit with the fire bowl on top. Good luck!

It would work over a campfire, but be aware that it is pretty thin, so it gets really hot really fast

We camp with a 5th wheel. Pros. Works great as fire pit only we use charcoal + wood, folds up small for storage! Cons. Hard to cook on as grate slides all around, cooking grate is close to fire no height adjustment,Plan on making brackets to hold and provide elevation to grate. I would buy again.

The side grates come off as well as the vent cap on the top so you have direct access to the flames. It's not as convenient as an open top fire pit or the type that has a mesh dome over the fire, but it's doable. We roast marshmallows in it all the time.
