Has anyone used this to sit a cast iron dutch oven in with charcoal for cooking?

Yes I can fit up to my 16" dutch oven in it but to get more air under the 16" dutch oven I've learned to turn it over and place oven on top. I am looking to buy a new one as I came across your question.

No, My first impression would be that because of the thickness of the metal it would be unsuitable. Too flimsy to move around depending the weight you have in it. With the heat I would imagine it would warp.

I have used this method; in fact I have 2. They work very well for corralling the coals and, additionally, the sidewalls do a great job of concentrating the heat upward around the oven. I use it on the dirt by itself. If I use it on grass, I put a couple of concrete step stones under the pan to keep from scorching the grass. In effect, you also have your own built-in wind screen, too. Hope this helps.

yes. All I use for camping is cast iron and my dutch oven gets lots of use.

Yes, but you need to have a way to slide the charcoal to the middle of the pan.

It depends on how you plan to use this for cooking. If you intend on making a stew or baking in the Dutch ovens, it will not work properly. The lid has no lip to contain the chacoal ash and the bottom has no legs to allow airflow around the coals. The leg issue can be overcome rather easily, but the other issue isomer difficult to overcome.

The pot is very small. I have not ever used charcoal in them, but if you did use charcoal only one piece would fit. We use sterno gel and put the gel directly into the pot.

It should hold a 6 qt dutch oven as long as it is assembled and set up very stable. I would recomend testing the weight of your cast iron without a fire first. I used this grill this summer and would purchase it again.. 4 out of 4 stars rating.

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.

This pan probably could withstand charcoal but my advice to you would be to get a Lodge Logic Cast Iron Grill pan for that job. Cast Iron can easily hold up to being put directly on a charcoal grill and the price point compared to this All-Clad pan will put a BIG smile on your face. You can buy a Lodge Cast Iron grill pan right here on amazon.com and prime too! Hope this helps.

I haven't tried it, but it should work. Its a pretty big roasting pan, but keep in mind the spaces between the grates are large so you'd only want to use it with a roast that is pretty good size.

Without guarantee of course I can say that this press is made from cast iron and stainless steel. These materials have a very high melting point so I would use them at that temperature. After all a charcoal fire is much much hotter. Like maybe 600 degrees.

I've only used it on our gas grill but I don't see why you you couldn't use it on a traditional/charcoal grill.

I have never used this pot on a charcoal grill but have used it on the coals of a camp fire. If you do just be careful the coals are not too hot, and do not open lid. If you do you may get coals in your food.

I haven't actually tried it on charcoal, but it should definitely work on charcoal.

Technically no. The directions say to put it over heat no higher than "medium," so that probably limits all but the smallest amount of charcoal. Having said that, I've put a non-enameled Dutch oven on a rather high grill and it did not crack.

We bought this item for that exact purpose. My husband loves cooking with his cast iron and we also have a ceramic smooth cooktop. We have used this for about a year and have had no problems with our cooktop while using our cast iron cookware.

Hi, I do not see why you can't use it on a charcoal grill. I have not used it on one. But I have used it on a smoker & a propaine grill. It is heavy cast iron. It should work fine.
