Can I roast hot dogs and marshmellows over this flame?

There is enough of a flame that it would work. But don't forget you are burning a gel alcohol to get that flame. Do you really want that around your food? You would have to check the can to see if there are any cautions against using the gel to cook food. Personally I wouldn't do it.

i would not do that. It is an ambiance fire. You light the gel fuel in the cans.

I probably wouldn't because there is a bit a of alcohol burning smell which might have a taste. No clue if there is any serious health reason not to.

Yes you can, but be careful to keep the handles clear of the burner flame. The plastic coating on the handles can burn, to prevent this from happening(again) I broke the plastic off with pliers. Problem solved and they still function as intended.

There is plenty of heat "60,000" BTU and yes things would cook. Marshmallows if they fall off would get into the lava and logs and be messy. Hope that helps. Patio Splash

I wouldn't do it! Sticky marshmallows on the burner would smell horrible in the house and would be impossible to clean off. It is an open fire, just like a burner on a gas kitchen stove. The grill is on the front to keep people away from the direct flame. Roasting marshmallows just sounds really crazy to me.

Yes I did it with mine. it does drop fat. So i prob wouldnt if you use fire glass. One thing, doesn't create the smokey taste of a real fire. So, it just tasted like a heated up dog. Still it was a bit of fun. :)

I have not attempted to do so, but am sure it would be fine. It's constructed of heavy cast iron, so you'd use it, as you would other cast iron cookware over a fire. I imagine, you'd be best served placing it over a stand up grill, over the fire.

You probably could. I'd use some cooking spray on it first. It was a gift to my son and he hasn't tried it yet.

Not really as you have the water pan in between the food pan and the flame which helps evenly distribute the heat. It's similar to what you see at buffet restaurants. That said, you should still stir your food occasionally.

I personally wouldn't, however I imagine you could. Your would just have to clean up and it would be a bit awkward to dod so. Roasting smores would be easy anything more involved would be a hassle from my point of view. Great fire put table!

It's an open propane flame. I don't think it would be my first choice for hotdogs.

I guess you could if you REALLY wanted too....but I think you'll be dealing with a marshmallow mess after. As far as tank time..depends on flame setting..on high I get about 5 hrs. This thing is really for atmosphere. ..not cooking.

You certainly can - the primary reason I purchased this was so I would not have to deal with flame-ups on my gas grill. Suggest you lightly coat it will olive oil before placing meats on it. After use, wash with warm water (no soap) and dry with towel, then it is ready for next use.

Marshmallows are fine. I don't know if the grease that might drop from hot dogs would burn off of the rocks. If no grease great.

Well if we are talking just flame, probably. I use a gas stove. Sitting on coals I'd worry a bit. The inner pan is pretty thin so over a very hot fire it will probably scortch the food. The outer pot has a heat sink in the bottom not sure what the melting temp is etc. I'd contact the company and ask them to be sure it can be used that way, but I don't see why over a small fire it would pose any problems.

you should be able to, but if you have the char-broil then I think the roast might come out better in there vs the oven

I believe you can. The only problem, I thought the logs and flames looked bad. I have 2 of the other Franklin looking stoves with much better looking logs, flames, and color. I love the look of the frame, but I am real big on the fire looking as realistic as possible too.

Yes you can. The body of the bowl is hollow with the tank inside. Flames are on top. Doesn't get hot on the bottom.
