I am looking for something to place on top of my plastic portable table so I can use it for my portable charcoal grill. Will this do the trick?

It will work..I keep my grill up against a wood deck and use this over the rail. Works perfect...I have scorch marks on it...but it never caught fire. It has some thickness to it so it should insulate some of the heat as well.

I bought mine to drape over the deck railing behind my gas grill. I haven't put up the railing yet, but I noticed that the blanket has little fiberglass threads that get loose. I wouldn't put food on it, but it should protect a plastic table.

Not sure I have only used it for the portable gas grill. It is a great grilling table.

I grill on my laminate counter top. It has not damaged it. It should be ok. Good luck!

Based on internet research, I think this should work. I read that this grill uses standard LP bottles, and that's what mine uses and I use this item.

The unit is small and light, about 3 pounds, so as long as your portable grill has a solid base I wouldn't imagine it would tip, even fully loaded. I don't know which grill you have, but you could probably counterbalance it with your propane tank, but I doubt it is necessary.

Hi Jackie, The answer is... It depends. I use mine as a stationary BBQ on a stand but when I bought it, I wanted to use it as a portable as well. I still might next camping trip. The drip pan, while the inserts are cheap, is really small. It sits an inch or two below the opening in the bottom. I've also found that the assembly underneath get grease on it easily. The BBQ folds up nicely but it's heavy. When I first had it and it was fairly new, I took it to my mom's to make Tri-Tip, which turns out very well on this grill by the way. I carried it in the back of my Jeep SUV and it let grease get underneath it. Luckily I have a cargo area tray which it was sitting on. If you carry it in a car, put something under it. I use this BBQ a lot. And I live right next to the ocean. The chassis is weathered but is holding up with the salt air. Most things including cars don't here. So I've used it as a permanent BBQ and then try to switch to portable, making it impossible to really carry a clean BBQ so maybe mines not a good example. My regular cleaning routine is to scrape the inside with a putty knife, forcing everything down through to the tray, throw out and replace the insert, and then wash the tray holder in a sink with hot water and dish soap. I clean the grate by running it hot for awhile and scrub it with a BBQ brush. So all that is an easy cleanup. An issue with the grill is that the element gets clogged easily. It could benefit from a cover over the element like other grills. I've started poking the holes open with sewing needle every so often and even just cleaned the element with the wire wheel brush attachment on my Dremel. It's working well now. My example is extreme daily use. Would I buy it again given the price? Not so sure given price. For portable use and more manageable cleanup, I'd recommend the smaller version of this grill (Q-100?) Hope that helps...

Yep. I use it on a picnic table when camping. Size-wise you can fit about two burgers on it at a time.

It can be used as a Large Stand Alone Portable.I think your decision depends how big a grill you want as a portable.

That's intended purpose. It keeps the chips above the heat source rather than placing the wood on the coils or charcoal. The chips last longer, giving off less of a burst of smoke. But I have also used it in place of the grill to smoke shrimp, scallops, and veggies that would not work so well on the grill.

yes it will work, appropriate for stove or grill, this size is good for slow food or a tabletop meal for 2

We purchased it for a get-a-way cabin we have. We have a small deck there and added a little table top to the rail for the grill. It's the perfect size for a family of 2-4. It's portable if you prefer coals over gas.

Yes. This small grill is perfect for putting on a table outside! We have used it on a small tile outdoor table, as well as an iron table. Wonderful little grill!

If I recall the bottom of those grills don't get that hot... The plastic on this table is very strong.. I would bet it would withstand the typical heat from a gas stove like a Colman heater!

Are you talking about using it on the plywood or stoing it until you get the table? I would think either way it should work.

We use it for bbqing it is plastic heavy duty plastic but idk about having the grill on it with the heat is the only thing I would be worried about. But I would be worried about that with any plastic table.
