How much clearance is in the firebox? Would it be possible to burn wood instead of charcoal?

The pan does go up and down with the handle and the best clearance possible is about 10 inches when the pan is at its lowest position. You could use wood but it would have to be small chunks.

There is some clearance since you can adjust the hight of the charcoal pan but I don't think this is good idea to use wood.For the designated use is a great barbecue.

Yes, they'd need to be small pieces (the sides of the firebox are adjustable for the size of the bed of coals) tho the grills could be raised to accommodate say 4" thick pieces. Its a gr8t bbq.

The fire box is adjustable up and down so you can bring the heat closer or away from what's cooking... In the all the way down position you can fit a normal split log approx 4-5''in Diameter .. So yes you can burn wood in the firebox!

No, Not that firebox. It is a non vent design. You can install firebox, just can't connect your stack to it. It was made specifically to be vent less. Good Luck.

Yes! Will work great! Put some charcoal and cook out. Or a small fire with wood. Conveniently folds up and stores in carry case.

my fire box opening is 18 inches wide. I did have to remove one of the handles from the classic flame unit.

Not really. The fire pit is a removable sheet metal tray so you can empty the ashes. Since it just drops into the frame, it does not conduct heat to the frame very much.

I believe that you could. If you choose to leave the side shelves off, the sides of this grill are then flat. As far as clearance on the back side, it is also flat however you must allow room for the lid of the grill to be lifted up which will pass the back side of the grill. I would also keep in mind the counter that you are considering and any potential radiant heat that will come from the fire-box of the grill itself. You may want to explore the www.Weber.com web-site and look at grills that are dedicated to being "built-in".

The model is in the neighborhood of four feet long and about two feet along the sides. It does not sit all that high maybe like a foot and a half. The question really is how long and deep your fire place cut out is. I would measure it and then pay closer to attention the dimensions of the product I am just estimating here.

My husband indicated you may cook with wood but it is not a good option stick with charcoal.

I do not use a grate. The pit is shallow. If I used a grate the fire would be too high and could possibly roll out of the pit.

The side grates come off as well as the vent cap on the top so you have direct access to the flames. It's not as convenient as an open top fire pit or the type that has a mesh dome over the fire, but it's doable. We roast marshmallows in it all the time.

We put hot wood ashes from the camp fire and cook steaks with it. It is not big enough for any logs, but you could use small stuff and wood chips. It is habachi style.

We haven't cooked with it yet, we've only used it as a fireplace so far, but the grate will sit on the top ridge of the bottom bowl. So there can't be much wood in the pit - only red coals. Or your probably could place 3 bricks in a triangle to hold it higher.

If I'm not mistaken there are 3 levels that you can raise the charcoal grate .. ode say the closest it would sit is about 2-4 inches away from the cooking grate

I am really not sure, but I would honestly think that firewood would be too heavy for this oversized storage box. It is best suited for storing cushions, pillows, table cloths, etc. for outdoor furniture. It is very spacious indeed and holds a lot of stuff.

In theory I bet you could....in practice I feel that it would be very difficult. I have experience using small woodburning stoves so I can vouch for how handy they are. I think that the space in the fuel area is too small to accommodate the wood. I actually use the cup that came with this set up with my emberlit wood stove all the time with great success. Look them up if you want a great little wood burning stove.

This one is not the one for you -- the outside gets so hot it will surely burn wood -- My guess is you would need at least 3" around the unit..

it could burn either wood or charcoal it has a grate at the bottom to put wood on and a grate you can add to the top to cook on. It's about 20 1/2 inches square at the top and tapers down to about 15 inches wide at the bottom and it's about 7 inches deep. It won't hold huge logs but it will do a nice job for a small patio area and we love that it converts to a table when the pit is not in use. It really is quite nice!
