What is the maximum temperature the surface can withstand without damage? Can I use a portable propane BBQ grill or Coleman camp stove on the surface?

We've never tried a BBQ grill, but I wouldn't think it wise. The surface is Formica-like. I wouldn't hesitate to use a Coleman stove, although we've never used it for that, either.

I have no idea what the max temperature may be but I use a propane stove with an oven on the table during all my camping trips without a problem. Although the table is well built, in my opinion, do not stand on it. I let someone use the table and they tried using it as a ladder. It's still in good shape but it is now dented slightly. I really like this table and feel it was well worth the money.

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.

I don't know what the maximum temperature for the surface is but I can tell you that I bought this table specifally for camp cooking and am happy with the results. We set two coleman campstoves on it at the same time and have also used our propane BBQ on it although I did set it on a piece of foil just in case. I really like the way it folds up and it seems sturdy enough.

I'm not sure about max temp, or about the grill, however, I cook on mine every time with a propane stove and never have an issue. Hope this helps.

I think that you could if your grill is wide enough and if your grill puts out enough BTU heat. With the camp chef 2 burners it fires up to an awesome 520° which is perfect for baking stone pizza. A less powerful grill may not develop the same high temperature. Best wishes!

No, yes you will have to burn off the cheap paint first before you ever use this on a camping trip. Then paint it with the high temperature paint for barbecue grills. You can get from Lowes or Home Depot. But back to the tent itself, the material itself is only fire resistant and could start to melt or catch fire especially if it has been sprayed with a water proofing spray. And I would guess this tent doesn't have a stove jack in the roof either.

The bottom and sides can get extremely hot. I would not use this stove unless resting on a non flamable surface and with anything flamable (even a plastic cup) within 15 inches of it. The head can scorch a table top and melt plastic nearby. It would eventually cause a wooden table to catch on fire.

There's not a surface you can't you it on, I wouldn't you it on a grill. But in an oven or any other cook surface it will work great. The orgreenic set cooks your meals in half the time with less heat. I bought two sets, one for my wife and for my daughter, and will buy a third for my other daughter. Since getting her set, my daughter threw out all her other pots and pans. I've also purchased cookie sheets and 9x11 baking pans.

Yes. The heat won't be a issue. Your Coleman camp stove shouldn't be producing much heat from the bottom. If it is getting hot enough to melt surfaces when you cook on it, you may have an issue with your stove that is potentially dangerous. However, it is wobbly. I always bring a 4ft folding table out to the site to act as my cooking surface/prep/storage area.

I used it outside at sporting events. It has a protective grate on it, but stuff could still melt on it. I read others have used it in tents.

Possibly? I would test that hypothesis on a non flamable surface first, because the entire stove will probably get to hot for safe, long turn use.

As long as it is outside over a controlled burner (not a campfire), and the temperatures are not extremely cold (such below 0), there's no reason this pot wouldn't hold up. We use ours on a huge 6 burner gas stove and fill it nearly to the brim with soup. Handles and everything have held up great.

Would not recommend placing on hot stove top. Maybe warm at the most, but it's plastic material, therefore best on cool surface.

It all depends on your fuel source. If you are using charcoal or wood, the hot timbers will leak out of the bottom and potentially burn the table. Never put on a plastic table. The bottom surface becomes very hot and will melt plastic. If you don't want to be hunched over when cooking I have placed it on a concrete table using propane and it worked fine. Typically this great little BBQ is best utilized on the ground free from anything ignitable. To answer your question specifically, I would not cook with it on a wooden picnic table.

I guess it could be used at any temperature, I used mine inside an army tent with a wood stove. But if your worried about the warmth or flexibility, I don't think you would have to worry. I wouldn't use it out in the rain or anything like that. It's the most comfortable cot pad I have owned, and I have had some nice ones.

I do not believe this is safe to use on a very hot surface. this is just a cover to put over burners when NOT in use.

Absolutely. I heated it up on my camp stove and didn't even use the included burner. Works great! You heat up the water to about 100 degrees F and then you can take it anywhere. There is a thermometer on the side.

Hi Donna, as far as I know this grill can be used on any stove top as long as it's not a glass one. I'm not exactly sure as to the reason why but I'm guessing it could possibly scratch the surface. Another thing that I failed to mention, it was very light weight and it looked just like the price I paid...cheap. Good luck!

I'm sorry Greg (my sons name) but I gave it to my son-in-law for Christmas and he probably won't set it up until they need it this summer, sorry. He wanted something he could carry to their camper when they set up camp. As it shows wood inside I would think it would hold up to some high heat. That's what he will use it for. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I would recommend denatured alcohol, which you can find in most hardware stores without a problem. I took a quick look online regarding the use of propane and couldn't find much. Fortunately, the alcohol is cheap, burns clean, and is easy to carry.
