Has anyone used the larger size grill with Duraflame fire logs? Desert camping, and wanted to use it for heat rather than cooking.

I own two of the Larger size grills, and I have never used a Duraflame log in either of them. I do believe it would fit and work, but only for heat as you suggest. Please keep in mind, NOT to cook/grill using a Duraflame log, as to not being sure of the chemical make-up of the logs which may contaminate your food. Always play on the side of caution when using such man made fuel sources. Otherwise, the grill is very well built, and I highly recommend it. -Stephen, Middletown, Ohio

Can I burn pellets in this pit?

This is nice but not necessary, line the bottom and sides with aluminum foil for easy ash removal. Not the ends though, need the air holes. Then take small small crumpled pieces of foil (size of your fingernail, about four in the mini fire pit and 6-7 in the larger one and place them in the bottom for more air flow. Throw in the pellets and light (not a huge amount through). Add as it burns down.

My grill became warped and the foldable sections became unhinged after two uses. Did anyone else have the same issue?

Actually haven’t used it yet but it’s not a super heavy gauge steel I guess? One thing I thought of was solid fuels, i.e. Hexamine tabs and starter logs/fat wood gets pretty hot. Probably quick hot fires using accelerants or letting it just sit full of glowing hot embers for long periods will burn it out fairly quickly. Keep this in mind: usually ultralight compact gear is not going to last but so long even with using great care. Lite usually = Expensive = weaker tolerances and shorter life. May be serviceable though? I mean what was it $20? That to me says couple few seasons and she’s done. You can probably get a titanium one that will last for years but rather than $20 more like $300+. Pro ultralight expedition gear from a trusted manufacturer. That’s if you really trust anything by a brand name any more. There are exceptions but they are always pricey. I just keep mine in the truck with some just in case gear. I have a fear of the cold so I keep a Kelty Gamma 0 degree bag. In the winter months. It is out of production I think now but it’s a synthetic down and very warm and pretty tough. Like a $400 bag at the time. Unquestionably warm and packable. Not as compact as down but close. Not including the warm weather inner bag or Goretex outer shelter/bivi. Point being you get what you pay for. If you know what you’re looking for. In closing, I don’t expect to hand mine down to my great grandson or anything like that. But at the same time I was pleased with it especially for the price. 😀 Have fun!

Can i use a dutch oven on this

No Do NOT use dutch ovens or put heavy stuff on this. And also very unstable. This is made of very thin metal. Mine is already warping and rusting after few uses. I changed to Campingmoon Brand MT-2 and it is made like a military tank with heavy gauge stainless steel rods and plates. But sadly they are bit on the heavy side.

Amaziiing

Absolutely thrilled with this grill! It’s impressively packed with features, yet remarkably lightweight. When it comes to getting the job done, this grill doesn’t disappoint. The ample cooking surface is a game-changer, making it perfect for all my adventures – be it backcountry hikes, camping trips, backpacking escapades, or canoeing expeditions. It’s become my reliable go-to for outdoor cooking, enhancing every outdoor experience!Moreover, I’ve been relying on this grill for a solid three years now, and its durability continues to impress. It’s retained its shape remarkably well, almost identical to the day I bought it. This versatile grill has handled everything from kebabs to steaks, skewers on top, pots on the top rack, even heavy cast iron cookware. Its adaptability makes it a true kitchen on the go, adding to its overall appeal. An absolute must-have for any outdoor cooking enthusiast!

muy útil

hice un corte de carne de manera perfecta, muy fácil de lavar y de llevar, los materiales son muy buenos, recomiendo ponerle grasa al metal antes de préndelo para evitar deformidades en el metal

Incredible little grill - works very well

This grill is awesome. It's super portable and folds into a neat, flat profile that tucks away easily in the case. It's super simple to unfold, use, and repack when done. The coal burns very well in it, and the air holes provide perfect ventilation for the coals to heat up and stay hot until done. Being stainless steel is a very nice feature because galvanized steel wouldn't last long when exposed to heat and moisture, and I know I can expose it to saltwater while boating and on the beach without worry.It cooks very well and surprisingly very evenly - it seems to cook much more evenly than my little round Weber-style grills.I have the medium size grill and it will cook about 6 burgers at a time, a dozen hotdogs, or 4 large kebabs.
