I can't see why not, but bear in mind that it is quite heavy, so may not be suitable for camping.

I would say yes. Although I have blackened fish indoors, I have never used it in such a way. If your concern is the fish, I think it would be excellent (maybe even do a whole side). If your concern is heat tolerance, the iron that this is made of is definitely thicker and heavier than what most grills' burners or grates are constructed of. I want to say propane grills can hit 500-600 degrees tops, and I have a feeling that wouldn't touch this.

Yes, but it will be more of a grilled fish with smoke flavor, not truly smoke-dried. You do not use a whole lot of wood chips in this, it is only to enhance the flavor while cooking. As long as the fish fits on the cooking plate, it will be fine. The plate is non-stick coated to help keep the food from burning to the cooking surface and it works really well.

I have not attempted to do so, but am sure it would be fine. It's constructed of heavy cast iron, so you'd use it, as you would other cast iron cookware over a fire. I imagine, you'd be best served placing it over a stand up grill, over the fire.

not very well. The heat source is too far from the grate to get any kind of sear. If you were just slow cooking something, you could but I wouldn't do burgers or hot dogs on it.

I have not tried. I have briefly handled the grill grate in my BBQ since I need to move some coals and all I felt was a little warmth. If I were to pick up a burning log in a campfire I would only do that if there was a section of the log that was not on fire. I am confident I would be protected from surrounding heat but I wouldn't attempt direct flame contact. That is what fire poker and tools are for.

I don't think so. It's covered with something that might be teflon. As long as you're careful, though, the coating ought not wear off the way it might in a cooking pan.

I would make sure you put the hot pan on top of a pot holder. Otherwise, you will burn the wood

Although I'm sure you could make it work in a pinch, it's really designed for heating from all around - as it is when stuck into a campfire. This provides a even heating and crisps both sides of the sandwich at the same time while heating the sandwich's contents.

In theory yes. I have not but it should be possible, as this method of pan making has been used by this company since the days when open fire cooking was the norm, not the exception. Maybe not too close to the flame, though, just to be safe, as the crepes would burn before being cooked through. Hope this helps.

I do not think the food would burn unless you let the food get close to empty in the pan. There is no water between the flame and the pan, which I think that may be the best way to keep food warm using tealights.

I have used it in both the bbq grill and a campfire. it worked well. It needs to be seasoned well first though.

We have used ours to cook fish. They tend to burn and so we have not reused them.

yes, I use it for camp cooking. Its sturdy and about the right height. Works fine for me!

I have used it over direct fire in a charcoal grill, so I am assuming it would be just fine over a campfire. Hope this helps!

Yes, remove the cast iron pan from its wooden base and it's just like a cast iron skillet. Fine in the oven as well or over a camp fire.
