got the grill set up today: can we put a grate for the ceramic bricks or lava rock on the gas side?

No need to put ceramic bricks or lava rocks with this grill. The grill has coated burner covers that will take care of flare-ups and can be cleaned when cool. After grilling, I let the unit cool and then put both the cooking grids and the burner covers in the dishwasher. After drying, I coat them with a little Crisco applied with a paper towel. This will get them ready for your next use. I have done this for the last 2 years and both parts look almost new. DO NOT USE wire brushes to clean, as even brass will scratch the coating.

We replaced the lava rock with stones. Here's the site. Looks 100% better. http://www.blazingglass.com/fireplace-stones/?gclid=COeatoCB9rYCFQpN4Aod710AlA

I use mine strictly as a heat deflector but you can cook on it by removing the grate. I bought a bigger stone for pizza.

Its not really necessary. If you put brick in the bottom the bottom might get to hot. I don't know what its made out of but it might not last took long at the high heat.

elow your grilling rack, there should be a lower rack that sits atop the burner unit. This lower rack is where the briquettes should be placed.

We have a gas fired cooktop. We place the griddle on the grates right over the burners. There are no legs. My wife's comment is "I love that thing". It is somewhat heavy so you have to consider where you will store it.

Hi Zorine, the simple answer is "Yes". Unless you have an opening to insert charcoal or wood, with any BBQ grill, you'll have to either stop cooking or remove what you're cooking and add more charcoal or wood. The wonderful thing about the volcano is that you can use propane (if you have the kit). I hope this helps. Aloha, Al

Spray the grates with vegetable oil and fire up the grill.The grates will be fine.This is the best grill I've ever owned.Tonight,I grilled corn,onions,baby back ribs and hamburgers.I love it.

Yes, You do need the Grate.If you are going to use logs.This would allow the fire to burn efficiently, otherwise the Ash would kill the log fire.

I read the manual, and definitely NO!!! The danger is that the reduced air flow with two griddles installed may cause the burner to go out, but since gas is still being fed it may reignite and actually explode!!!!!

I only have a gas burner but I doubt there would be enough contact with the round shape to heat enough. There are flat bottom woks

I have used the stove grate with the other side being the griddle and the grill. It does not matter. I think you could even use 2 stove grates.

No. There are two fixed-position grates. One for charcoal and one for the food.

I've used one of these before. If you remove the grill from the cart, you will still be able to cook on it. I'd suggest putting rocks or some other type of inflammable material beneath it so the surface is not touching the ground. Another option- take the cart apart. It only takes a few minutes to take it apart and then put it back together. Another option, after removing the grill from the cart, lay (or is it ly) the cart on it's side and put it in your vehicle. Put small gear, six packs, boots, flashlights, etch inbetween the legs of the cart and that space won't be wasted. Sure wish I could find one of these on craigslist. Very good product.

You must figure out some tool for lifting the grilling grate off so you can get access to the fire. ...and you may want a clean & safe place to park the grate while you add wood. Good luck!

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.

Yes but you would probably need yo change the grate that the lava rock sits on as it is pretty wide for glass rock
