Has anyone tried putting this on the grill when it is still hot? I'm really looking for something that wont melt on a warm grill.

I have put it on a hot grill multiple times. It always makes me a bit nervous, but I've had no problems.

I have always waited for the grill to cool before putting the cover back on.

Never tried putting it on a hot grill. I have put it on my warm Weber grill and no problems.

You can if you want to melt it. I would not put it on until it cooled down to 100 or so. This is by far the best cover for a grill I have found.

I have never put it on another grill as I used the Rhino only oonce. I believe I sent you the instructions-I hope you can find your answer there.

i havent tryed yet...and dont think i will... i would say if you REALLY want to, put it on the lowest temp. and even then it might melt

I haven't used it on a grill. If you do, I'm not sure the handle could take the heat. The pan itself could take it, I would think, but the handle is typical black plastic/composite of some kind and I'm not sure it could stand the heat of a grill since grilling, typically, involves shutting the lid of the grill with the entire pan inside. If your grill allows you to hang the handle off the edge and not subject it to the heat, you may be successful in using it this way.

I use mine in my convection oven all the time - it is great. I would not use it on a grill - but it should be safe under a broiler. It is aluminum and will not offer enough protection for the food with the intense direct heat of a grill. If you need to use a pan on a grill look for cast iron- it will conduct heat and protect the food.

I have tried it several times in my weber grill. I cannot get it to stay lit. I have tried to crack the lid a little, with it on the side where there is no heat turned on. The smoke goes right out the "crack" in the grill. I also let it burn for at least 20 minutes before i put it in there, still no luck.

I didnt stick mine on the grill but have seen plenty of people do it. I would suggest asking on a forum if it needs any kind of extra glue.

It does get fairly warm but, try holding a little lower than where the plates end towards the handle. You'll have just as much control and won't get burned. Remember, it's a pro-tool so it does get considerably hot, so be cautious in handling it either way.

I just did! Last night i made a burger. It came out well but you cant melt cheese on it.

While I have not tried to use this on my grill, I would say that like other ceramic products that can take high heat, they will usually crack from direct contact with the source as you'd have in your grill. If it were me, I would go to your local HomeDepot or Lowes and purchase a few unfinished terracotta tiles and experiment with them. That way, if they crack you will have only wasted a few bucks. They work very well by the way in the oven as well (for a cheap alternative).

Not sure if this will work but I'm thinking wrapping this in foil to prevent it from melting. I might give it a try. Will followup with results

I can tell you from personal experience that polypropylene cutting boards WILL melt if allowed to sit too close to your grill. They have to be pretty close though, since the melting point is approx. 250-340 deg F. Even a gap of a few inches is enough keep this from happening. Same advice for pots & pans - if your pan is full of a liquid like water that keeps the temp below the melt temp, you'll be OK. But I wouldn't put a hot cast iron skillet or a casserole dish on it - it's NOT a hot pad.

I have the grill .. Used it 1 time ... Took forever to even cook a hot dog .. It doesn't get hot enough to sear much of anything....

It does say NOT to put heated items like grills on it. And the top is clearly not made to be heat resistant. That said, I'll admit that I used a pretty heavy duty 1800W electric grill on it outdoors without issue or warping after a few uses.

I have not used it on a grill, have used it in my smoker and my oven. Not sure how it would handle flame-ups. Instructions say not to expose to flame, perhaps you could protect it with some aluminum foil while grilling?

That is a great question. I just turned it on for about a minute and the black grills heat quickly to the touch but the silver metal sides were drastically cooler. I never took my hand off it and stayed cool. I've had it for a couple of years and really do like how good it works. Can't go wrong.
