Can you put a grease container under the drain holes without running afoul of the burners?

There Is a grease container under the drain holes. At least on my stove there is.

this griddle is labeled wrong. it is for the electric model. I ordered and had to return it. I ordered a gas model on ebay. do not buy this if you have a gas jenn air range.

The grease drain should be built in into the grill below the burners. I wouldn't put one between the griddle and the burner.

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.

Yes, it does have a removable tray under the burners, and, within that tray, there is a removable cup for catching grease. The tray slopes down to the cup.

Sure, put it on one side, and just don't use the burner underneath it, and you might want to put foil underneath it as well to shield it from the heat of the other burners so it won't combust to fast. Also try to keep the heat below 225 degrees.

There is a small slide-out drawer for drippings, but it rarely gets full of drippings. They seem to burn off on the stainless heat reflector that covers the burners. It is the kind of grill that gets hot enough that you can sear meats before setting it up for cooking long and slow. I also store a canister of gas and a grill cleaner for storage.

Yes, indeed. I have one similar to this I bought many years ago and have used it exclusively on gas stoves. Never had a problem with grease melting into the flame. The openings drain into a trough that circles the burner. The only thing I've done is remove the cast iron plate that you would normally rest your cooking pot on. This lets me get the cooktop closer to the flame and a better sear.

The grill grate is solid immediately above the burners. I have had no problems with grease entering the burners

Yes you can, and the drain incorporated in the pan is great for draining the excess oil.

If I didn't want to use the stove top burner does that have to assembled? Can I leave that off?

I would only do that if you have a gas stove. I have an electric stove and there is no way I would put it on top of the burners until they are cool. The wood doesn't actually touch the burners on my stove but it's too close for comfort in my opinion.

Not without some extra work to disable the additional gas lead (for the side burner) which come pre-assembled to the main unit

grate inside bottom for drainage with a removable plug on bottom to drain excess

Yes. A little slide out drawer that catches bacon grease, etc. The back two legs come up slightly to create a forward tilt, pushing the liquid into the drain hole over the pan.

You can slide them in. It is not necessary to remove (un-plug) the burners.

I do not have a commercial stove, but have a gas stove with high-power burners and have not had an issue. Obviously I keep the burner lit under the pan, not around it.

I don't see why not. The griddle would then rest on it's handles, supported by the edges of the aluminum bottom half of the grill body (not the removable handles, but the ones cast into the ends). The griddle can be positioned near the middle of the grill so that the burner is almost perfectly situated under the griddle, so in theory it might even heat up faster and get hotter with the grill grate removed, but I've never tried it this way. Bear in mind that the griddle has only about 2/3 the area of the grill grate, so there will be a sizable gap in front of and behind the griddle if you use it this way. I don't see why not.

There is a small grease catcher tray that goes under the front lip of the grill. It was missing when we bought ours at a thrift store, but I have seen them on others. I just put a plate under the front lip. Some of the juices are great for making gravy.
