Anyone use this on a gas grill, if so is the 5 inch length adequate enough to use on your grill without constantly burning your hand?

You get a reading on the thermometer pretty quickly, about 5 seconds, so it's not a problem.

I haven't used it on a Grill but it works fine on my electric stove. I believe it would do just as well over a fire. I would definitely use it over a campfire. After all, it's cast iron, isn't it?

Probably about one inch or so. I do not like it. Cannot use without burning my hand so it sits.

The 2-4 inch handle close to pan gets too hot to touch....the remaining part remains cool.I use it on electric coil .

I'd say "Yes, but ..." The cable is rated to 700 degrees "for short periods"; flames and coals can be hotter, so you have to be careful where the cable runs. We have a Weber gas grill with a very heavy lid, and they say to avoid pinching it between hot surfaces without insulation. Some grills have an access hole; I'd use that if available, otherwise wrap part of the cable in something fireproof.

We burn it off every time we use it. Never had an issue. We get it hot enough that we need fire gloves to hold the grill to put our food on it

These will work fine. I cook vegetables in a heavy 12" cast iron pan and it gets well above 475 in there. I'm able to pick it up and cary it about 50' from the grill and put it down on my kitchen stove. I would be more concerned about the length of the gloves...they don't cover the whole forearm so if you are reaching back in the oven you may risk getting burned closer to the elbow.

It depends on how much heat you have under it. If you are using this over a campfire with too much flame, the handles will get too hot to touch by hand. Mine didn't melt, but still hot enough to be uncomfortable. and yes on the rubber gasket.

My answer won't help you a whole lot. We have only used it on our grill. We haven't had any spillage on the grill.

Most, as long as the length can fit into your grill. It has a flexible gas inlet which helps.

Your hands stay far enough away from the hot meat to prevent burns or discomfort however reaching into a hot area they would not offer enough protection I suspect. Perhaps if used with grilling gloves or perhaps using something with a bit more reach to keep your hand farther from the heat source.

My grill has cover over the flames. And it is about 5 in above the flames no issue...

To be honest it depends on your situation. The sear station is not like on other grills that I have owned that is separate from the other elements. I used it a lot on my Charm-glow to get a nice sear on i my meats. However the sear station on the Weber does not appear to work that way or at least I don't use it that way. I just use it as an extra element to maintain consistent heat overall. The side burner is nice to have as I have used it alot when cooking beans and sauces. If you are on a budget then I would say skip it. However if you have the cash get it its nice to have and not use than to not have and need. Come to think of it now that I am typing I did use it once. Hope this helps.

Yes, I agree it works best on the large burner of my ceramic top stove. The rubber handle is great and it cooks very evenly. We use it for quick grilling when there's not time to fire up the "grill".

This is probably overkill for a gas grill. I use this on a gas cooker, which is just a burner with no other control. This is also a high output supply hose which is more than is necessary for a gas grill. If your gas grill consists of three high pressure burners this is the piece of equipment you need. For a gas grill I would get this Sportsman GENLPH5 Regulator Hose for LP Generators, 5-Feet I do not have home LP supply but use a tank. I do not know what the hook up looks like.

You must remember that the handles are made of some sort of plastic they can't get to hot, but I suppose you might be able to use it on a grill if you are careful.

The pan will probably get as hot as you want it. The problem you might have is the side burner will not take a large diameter pan because it will hit the side of the grill hood.
