Would it damage the Rack or leak to my food if I use it for Cooking Grate (grilling) in my Charcoal Weber Jumbo Joe Portable?

I've never tried to use mine on the grill. But I have put food on them and cooked it in the oven without a problem at temperatures of around 350F. The racks are stainless, so I don't think there is anything that will come off them. I'm just not sure if the solder joints will hold up, or if the solder would leach onto the food. The racks are inexpensive enough, so you could give one a try without food on it to see what happened.

Not sure of question; yes, leaking to anything below would occur if used on a grill. No idea how the metal would react in/on a grill. Sorry!

I can't give you a definitive answer, as I've never tried using one on a grill. I would think that it would be OK. Just understand that these are small cooling racks and as such are only going to hold a steak or a couple of burgers.

My experience is that it is safe as long as you do not keep the unused charcoal or other eaily flammable items under the grill. So far I am please with my purchase!

I would not do so. All the paint came off my grill. I called Texsport and told the rep. that the finish came off my grate and was all over everything. I asked if the finish was supposed to come off and she said "Yes, anything else?" and hung up. I returned the grate and went with an uncoated grate from Peak Distribution in PA. You can put food right on the grate and I've been very pleased. It is heavy enough that there is no warping of the metal which you get with some thinner gauge metal grates.

I am not sure, but as Robert said it probably will if it covers the flame. Question though, with a high burner grate would you really need it? We got it because our burner grates are so low it made it impossible to simmer foods. The flame would not go low enough and things would boil.

It is for a tabletop gas grill. I suspect a small charcoal grill would get to hot on the bottom and would mar the stand itself (which is mostly plastic).

Yes I think it would. But I don't think it would be a good idea to have the accumulation of any leaks concentrated in one spot. Especially adjacent to your grill!

The gap between the charcoal grate and the cooking grate is just over 2.5". If you are looking to cook over indirect heat, you might be able to squeeze an 8" x8" shallow cake pan in there, but you may be better off using HD aluminum foil and making your own basket to catch your drippings. There is little to no room above the layer of charcoal to lay a pan to catch drippings. Of course, you can just line the entire bottom of the grill with foil to provide easy cleanup.

Yes. I don't have a Weber but my cooking grate is stainless steel and the brush does an excellent job of cleaning it. I use my BBQ a lot and residue builds up quickly. The brush takes it off very easily and to my satisfaction

I don't see why it shouldn't, it was essentially designed for the portable grills. A thought for a large grill-top would be a 'Lodge' griddle, which has a larger cooking area overall.

well, i've only used it on my grill top and it worked just fine on top of a gas grill grate, so it should be fine. but keep in mind, it has holes throughout, so if you're cooking something with liquid, it's going to drip.

no reason that I can think of. And that would better control the amount of water. (IMO water doesn't do much anyway. You need to clean the grill immediately after use, so it'll be hot. Too little water --&gt; steam. Too much --&gt; overflow grease trap. Right amount --&gt; water+fat=muck. As you can perhaps tell, I don't use the water feature. The two-handed design does provide leverage, but the thing is *big*...too big for my under-grill cabinet.

I use the side fire box when I'm smoking anything. I use charcoal, charcoal and wood, or just wood. With the side firebox the food is in a different chamber then the heat source so burning is not big problem. One modification I would strongly recommend it to clamp a short piece of 3" flexible aluminum duct the smoke stack inside the the cooking chamber just long enough to come down to the cast iron grates. This forces the heat and smoke to travel all the way across the chamber at the grates level before exiting the smoker. I found that this gives a much more even temp. to the whole cooking area. You won't go wrong with the Char-Griller units. A plus for the side fire box is that it comes with it's own grill surface and can be used by it self when you just want to grill up a few hot dogs or burgers.

The Weber SJ Gold can be sealed for travel either pre or post cooking (although if its post you'll need for it to cool!)It's lighter than the Lodge, and Weber grills last f-o-r-e-v-e-r if you take reasonable care of them.And the Lodge's solid cast iron construction means that the legs can get hot.Either one will cook well.If you're going to leave it in one place it might be a contest but if you're going to take it anywhere there is really no competition.

I think you will be more restricted by the clearance between your product and the grill surface. A whole chicken, trussed and centered properly, clears the grates fine. You're not going to be able to rotisserie a large Baron of Beef though.

The owner's guide booklet for the table states that it can be used with Charcoal Go-Anywhere, Gas Go-Anywhere, Smokey Joe (what I have), and Jumbo Joe grills. So, "yes" is my answer to your question.

I recommend that you buy the small Smoky Joe this is designed for indirect cooking primarily the portable kitchen grill

No, not at all. Be sure grates are very hot before putting food on. You won't have any trouble!
