Can you cook with this firepit? I'd like one that we could grill hamburgers & hot dogs on.

No, this is not for grilling. I have used it many times as a fire pit for warmth and atmosphere, but it's not good for grilling. At best you might be able to cook a hot dog if it's on a stick. Marshmallows for S'Mores would be ok, too, but you can't set a grill on it for cooking.

Not right out of the box, it can't be converted. I don't know if you can buy the appropriate connections, but after using the grill, I wouldn't waste my time or money trying. It's really best for hot dogs or hamburgers. It's not that easy or great for steak or anything bigger. The small propane tanks are ample for what this grill is best for.

Gosh yes, and what a great setup THAT will be! I'm sure Weber makes them all to standard diameters, so pick a kit that will fit yours. In terms of making pizza on it, I highly recommend the Lodge Pro Logic cast iron pizza pan, but that needs at least a 21" diameter grill for there to be enough air circulation up to the top. Set up that way, the whole thing can get to 900F quickly and stay there all day.(But in order for it to actually stay there all day, you need to also order (or modify) a grill rack that allows you to feed the fire without having to disassemble everything. Either KettlePizza makes one or they can tell you where to get one.) Gosh yes, and what a great setup THAT will be!

This firepit is for atmosphere, warmth and roasting marshmallows. It does not have a grate across so I don't think you could use as a barbeque.

I think you can grill just about anything on it, we do hotdogs and chicken breast tenders, you can marinate your meat first, also you don't have to do meat, if vegetarian you can grill veggies, it is totally non-stick surface, you can also grill sandwiches. It is very easy to operate, you plug it in and wait for the green light to come on, it is now ready. We can grill up to five foot long hot dogs or maybe 6 or 7 regular size at a time. It is big enough to grill two large hamburger or veggie patties or four small ones at a time. It is super fast and does not heat up the kitchen, so we use it a lot during the summer. I usually wipe it clean with a damp paper towel. Or use a sponge with water and a squirt of dish soap then a damp paper towel. I think you can grill just about anything with it. I love mine!

Why not? It's a grill and gets hot. It would be fine for anything you cook on any grill. We've really enjoyed ours so far!

I would say no, because there is no grill plate on the top of the fire and one would not easily fit there.

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.

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.

Yes you can...it's a good sized grill...cooks really good. I'd say about around 15-20lbs.

I would think it could work....but I would check the dimensions. The grill pad is not terribly large. Also...I am thinking that the fire pit table is circular while my grill pad is a rectangular shape...but perhaps that is a small aesthetic issue. Good luck

I just got done cooking on mine, I,absolutely love that grill. And I cook mostly on high, then hot dogs, sausage links, and chicken on low to medium. Trust me you will enjoy it

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 you can!! I have done a full meal including buffalo burgers, rice and broccoli. I used the coleman backpacker grate over the fire. I clip the handles with a large office paper clip so they dont swing back to the pot. It works very well which is why I got it. I like wood fire cooking!

Not really -- just put all the coals in one section of the grill. You'd probably want to do this even when cooking for a larger group -- make a banked fire. You can do your grilling directly over the coals in order to get a good char on steaks and burgers, and use the side away from the coals for cooking at a lower temperature (for thick cuts) and furthest away as a warming area until serving.

It is great for a fire place. I planned on making pizza too, but have not done it. The cooking area is small and confined. Also, it is easier to get the fire going without the cooking grate in, but it would be too difficult and dangerous to put it in after the fire is red hot. We have spent many enjoyable nights sitting around the fire roasting marshmellows.
