how near the cast iron cooking grate can the charcoal grate be raised?

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

About three and a half inches from the grate where you will place charcoal on.

Not practically. The grill lays on top of the screws that are used to hold the legs on. The charcoal pan is lower and lays on the lower leg screws. But have not found a need to change the height, just change the amount of charcoal.

As far as I can tell it should work well with any type of cast iron cooking grate. You bunch it up in your hand and use it like a scouring pad. Since it is meant to be used on all cast iron cookware it should work well. The only caveat is that it does not cover a large area like a grill so you would have to do an area at a time.

Take the grid off the burner, put some small pebbles in the dish - this will allow the pot or pan to be a lot closer to the flame = wind not so much of a problem.

I guess, but I wouldn't want to. Its a decorative fire pit - not a barbecue. There is no cooking grate and it is pretty low to the ground.

Why do you need a cast iron grate to begin with? Fine for gas grills, but totally unnecessary for live fire cooking. The radiant heat from charcoal does a better job at an overall sear than iron grates that just make pretty grill marks.

Place on grate same as cooking on charcoal or gas grill. Expect to discolor

Although I haven't tried this, I suppose you can take out the middle section and place the grate on top of the charcoal ring. Weber offers a bbq grill that can also be used for smoking, I have a friend who has one and it smokes very well. If you are going to do more grilling than smoking that might be a better choice. Hope that helps.

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.

The grate's not adjustable-but you can lift it and move the coals around to adjust the heat that way. I don't know a model that is adjustable, I just have this one because it's simple.

You can raise and lower the tray that holds the coals. Thereby moving the coals closer or father from the grate.

I replaced mine with a Lodge cast iron grate, that doesn't fit exactly but works much better than the warped grate. You have to turn it upside down to close the lid, but cooking on cast iron is the best! here's a link where you can buy it. http://www.katom.com/261-LBBG3.html?CID=Nextag&utm_source=Nextag&utm_medium=CSE&utm_campaign=CSE&zmam=29342707&zmas=1&zmac=3&zmap=261-LBBG3

While I haven't tried it, I think the legs are too short. Though, you could probably stack bricks or similar under the four legs to increase the height. If you use a cast iron wood carrier in the fireplace to make sure the flaming logs have air underneath the challenge might be a little greater. The grate itself is cast iron, but since the grate bars are triangular, like a Toblerone chocolate, I imagine the flame will hit a larger surface area of the meat. Not sure it would work well. It might but I don't know.My gut tells me that this grill is best used over a bed of coals. While I haven't tried it, I think the legs are too short.

You must figure out some tool for lifting the grilling grate off so you can get access to the fire. ...and you may want a clean & safe place to park the grate while you add wood. Good luck!

There are four grates about 6 inches wide each and are full depth of the grill. I move the one center grate to the left on top of the far left grate and I move the other grate over the top of the far right grate. You can crank the handle and raise the charcoal pan within two inches of the bottom of the grates. I then pile my charcoal in the center and get my fire started! Then once the coals are way you like them spread them out and slide the two grates back into position. Hope this helps!

No. There are two fixed-position grates. One for charcoal and one for the food.
