It can be used with charcoal or is only for use with gas?

The dimensions are approximately 16 inches by 12 inches. The shape is slightly oval rather than perfectly rectangular so those dimensions taper a bit towards the edges.

Propane only! Uses small portable 16 oz cylinders or you can purchase an adaptor to hook up to a larger propane bottle.

Only for use with gas. Burners, located on the bottom, would interfere with charcoal use.

You can use any kind of charcoal you want. I use the cheapest stuff they sell with lighter fluid because the fumes never touch the meat.

If you don't like using chemicals get a separate chimney type charcoal starter. Otherwise these are designed for using starter fluids/fire starters.

No I would not do it on a gas or charcoal. The oven is made for a very fucussed gas heat source. But if your gas grill has a side burner I would say yes use it over this one.

I have used wood but unless you use very dense wood like mesquite it burns very quickly. Best to use a combination of wood and charcoal. Imparts fantastic flavor.

I use the vents on my grill for temp control, nor any particular amount of charcoal. Guess it depends on your cooking style and grill.

The one with the attachments allows you to use propane as well as charcoal and wood. By the way, I have used mine all winter on our covered deck on a ceramic tile top table and we love it. It is very miserly with propane, and has ultimate control over the flame. I have heard of people using it for canning because the control you have over the flame (this is not usually recommended, but I might try it if I get brave enough).

As with any gas appliance there is a chance that a fire could happen. Also, carbon monoxide could be emitted during use. Personally I would only use it outdoors & not run the risk of fire or someone becoming ill.

Yes it can be used on gas and electric. I believe it could be used on a gas or charcoal grill. It would stop the food from falling through the grids. Also it works great. I use it on elect. with shrimp skewers and steak.

I have not used this specific Lodge product on charcoal but I have used a very simple one with a different handle. I think it will work fine. You will need to position the top so the handles are not overlapping making it easy to remove the lid to check the contents when cooking. Cast iron is very durable and can be used on the stove top, in the oven, on a fire or even in coals.

we used it right away out of the box no problem. We used charcoal put about 17 on top and the same underneath. Guess you adjust the temp by the amount of charcoal. Anyway worked great had no trouble cleaning afterwards either.

Absolutely. I bought this for a charcoal grill. It turned color after a couple of times but doesn't affect performance. After lighting the coals I place the box (containing soaked wood chips) directly on the lit coals. While I don't use gas, my sister does and I am not sure how I'd use the box on a gas grill. I'm sure if you place it over a heat source it would be fine, but for me charcoal is the way to go.

I don't think it's a good idea to use it indoors. Charcoal gives off carbon monoxide. It's toxic.

Charcoal consumption would depend on the type of charcoal and the size of the bag, but it seems to last as long as it did on my last barbecue. I have used a chimney to light charcoal for years. It is fast and does not contaminate the coals with toxins or bad flavors. The only thing I don't like about the Weber is the container for the ash detritus. It is difficult to remove.

I haven't used it on a charcoal grill yet, but it is my understanding - based on the reviews - that it can be used on a grill.
