Can I put a regular pot for boiling/cooking/deep fying or do I need some sort of separate attachments?

If it will fit under the closed lid, you are good. A caution, however - putting a pot of hot oil on an open flame is a recipe for disaster

Any pot you can use on a stove top will work equally well on the Weber side cooker. The real benefit is that cooking odors and the heat from the fire reman outside.

I ordered mine with the side burner where I can cook when the electricity goes off.

HEY Caitlin S....they make steamer baskets for regular sized pot and pan....if the steamer basket that they make does not fit try putting a stainless steel colander in the pot with a lid that fits...it will not be as efficient, but it works and have done this many times...all depends on the diameter of your stock pot if the factory basket fits or not, what i do works......john

It's more of a saucepan but heck, I'm adventurous. You'd have 2 create a seal. I'd use tin foil then a small lid or plate weighting it down as nec. if it doesn't worl you've still got a bitchin lil pot!

I wouldn't. Not that kind of pot. It is a French Press that boiling hot water is poured over the ground then plunged. It is also double walled. For use in camping, a tea kettle for water is best in my opinion.

No, absolutely not. No pot that's specified as a brew kettle should have anything like that. For that matter, I've never seen anything for cooking that has screw heads inside the pot, either. Have you?

I put both pots in which I have cooked (e.g. for soups or stews), and serving dishes for vegetables and meats etc. I find it very useful, as virtually all the surface of the appliance is at the same temperature - no cold spots.

In reading the directions, I learned the specific size pot I needed to use the kit. After measuring my own stock pots, I found them too short and chose to purchase another taller pot which works fine. I use the tongs I already had and did not purchase the accessory.

Hi.. It depends. There are no holes in the bottom of the pot. There are spots where you can drill them out, which I did for water drainage. Of course once I drilled the holes I did need a drip pan. If you leave it as is, (no holes) you won't need one.

No. The water must be boiled separately in a pot on the stove or in an electric or regular kettle.

I dont know, but i doubt it. This pressure cooker sautes and everything else. Why would anybody need an additional pot besides the one which is removable?

You can put a pot or pan on bunner tabs, this is a basic stove. But works well.

You can use the side burner for both, the grate can be raised about an inch or so for cooking/searing, then lowered flush for pots and pans. The side burner grate for that model comes with a cast iron grate that needs to be highly maintained due to the high heat burning off the seasoning of the grate. I ordered the stainless sided burner grate separately as it's low maintenance. Hope that helps

The bottom of the kettle is about 1 inch below the bottom of the valve, so a dip tube would be useful. The inside of the valve is already threaded and an extra couple comes with the pot. I don't mash in the pot, just boil. So I have not needed a dip tube, I can tilt the pot when draining the last bit off.

Yes it can be used on a regular stove. I have these pots and pans and love them!

You could probably remove the inner cooking pot and brown something on the stovetop, then put it back into the unit to cook the rest of the way. However the handles are covered with removable silicon(?) covers that are pretty difficult to get on and off.

Unfortunately this pot would not suit your needs because there is, in fact, a stainless steel heating element in the bottom center of the unit, surrounded by the ceramic pot. I don't know if other types of cooking pots are available without steel heating elements but perhaps a search of the Internet would be helpful in that regard. I hope this is helpful...have a great day!

I use the pot as a brew kettle, a large stainless spoon or a slotted stirring paddle works well for me. Both can be bought cheap at any home brew supplier
