If the island for this grill is combustible, do I need a separate insulated heat jacket? Know of one specifically for this size that I could install?

There is an option on napoleons web site for a mounting base...I installed my grill in a custom built enclosure, with a 1 inch combustable air gap. And lined the frame work with cement board.

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.

Yes. You regulate the temp with the four ventilation holes. But if you are not smoking, then use a grill

Since there is no air intake at the back it would be safe to wall mount this heater. I see no means of attachment on the casing so I would suggest a shelf with a surround fence up to the black grill-work on the front.

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 used 2 units to convert my masterbuilt xl smoker. You'll need insulation of some sort, I have an old blanket I wrap mine in and cut a hole in it near the exhaust. With the blanket I can easily maintain 275 with elements on low. Propane is still usable on mine as well

I love this grill! It does not have an igniter. I use the charcoal chimney.

I have used both a weber portable propane grill and coleman stove on mine with no issues. I would hesitate putting a hot pan or pot on the table without protection. The grill is on legs and the stove does not get that hot on the bottom. Hope this helps. Overall great table I like it. very light and easy set up.

Definitely not! This heater belts out the heat, great heater, but also the smell of kerosene is heavy and would taint your food. Also, the wire protector is not designed for anything to be set on top of it.

I added a second heating element right from the git go! I read the Bradley forum for quite some time and got some really great info there. I have also constructed a "shed" on my deck to enclose my smoker. It is mostly for weather protection, and less so to block wind. By installing the second element, getting the smoker "back up to heat" after opening the door, occurs in a blink of an eye! Hope this helps.

You'd have to take off the grill, to prevent injuries (as mentioned above), but another, possibly sturdier and safer, version is here: http://onefastcat.com/

It does say NOT to put heated items like grills on it. And the top is clearly not made to be heat resistant. That said, I'll admit that I used a pretty heavy duty 1800W electric grill on it outdoors without issue or warping after a few uses.

This is a pretty nice grill as if you packing it, it does NOT have the vent on the bottom. Vents are on each side built into handle. If you were to have the briquettes around the outside of circle so you do not have the DIRECT heat it may work.

I would think that would probably help even out the heat. Just be mindful of the propane hose as I have noticed it gets pretty warm were it attaches to the bottom under the burner. They also make a folding grate for the smaller grill. I have not tried it on the big red campfire as yet.

Well I only used it once because i want it for emergency, as in FL we only have Electric so if it goes out nothing to cook with. I live in a condo so no BBQ units allowed so this will come in handy, but keep area ventilated as recommended, I just opened a window next to unit.

I have with no problem do so, roaster pans included. Not sure a flaming dish would leave it unscathed though ;-)

I have never used the blue flame unit, but I am very happy with the unit I Have. It was easy to install, following instructions. The propane tank needs to be stored outside, so we drilled a hole in the wall for the hose and filled it with a can of spray insulation. Once completely installed, we did a test run and heated the house with it (last winter). It did not take long to heat the house and after running it for about an hour to see if there was any leaking (detector on wall), we turned it off. It was purchased as an emergency heater for when we lose electricity. I feel confident that when it is needed again, it will function well. I have an 812 sq. ft. house. This will be sufficient to heat the whole place. I hope this helps you. God bless.
