Is the cooking grate adjustable? Can you move it up or down from the charcoal to control how far food from coals? If not, what model DOES?

Weber does not make a characoal grill with an adjustable cooking surface, 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. Thank you for your inquiry.

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.

On each side of the charcoal tray is a bracket with three (3) levels. Simply raise or lower the tray to the desired height. Even at it's highest level the coals are about 5-6 inches from the food, but it cooks as fast as any other grill I've ever used and doesn't blaze up very much.

These burners aren't designed to be super adjustable, they work best at a high output. You should be using a low pressure regulator also.

I use the side fire box when I'm smoking anything. I use charcoal, charcoal and wood, or just wood. With the side firebox the food is in a different chamber then the heat source so burning is not big problem. One modification I would strongly recommend it to clamp a short piece of 3" flexible aluminum duct the smoke stack inside the the cooking chamber just long enough to come down to the cast iron grates. This forces the heat and smoke to travel all the way across the chamber at the grates level before exiting the smoker. I found that this gives a much more even temp. to the whole cooking area. You won't go wrong with the Char-Griller units. A plus for the side fire box is that it comes with it's own grill surface and can be used by it self when you just want to grill up a few hot dogs or burgers.

Yes it's adjustable. Since you asked the question, I can see you know what you're doing since this feature is key to serious grilling. So as one serious griller to another, here's a tip: Don't buy this junk. Poorly made and flimsy. Not fun to use. I have never been able to get the hood to close squarely. And I had the first hood replaced because of this problem. The replacement hood fit just as poorly, and in exactly the same misaligned way.

Hi, this burner is a bit big for the standard Kooker stove and it sits at an awkward angle on the stove. I do wish the manufacturer made a slow pressure burner for this stove instead of only the high pressure one they make.

Now the charcoal grate is. So you can bring the coal closer to you grilling surface.

Not really. It doesn't hold enough charcoal for actually cooking across your grate.

Yes. Just be cautious of fire temp. If you get it really high you will warp the charcoal grate

you have to load thru the top. I usually use charcoal for ease of temp control. does seem to be easy on charcoal, 15 coals will do a dinner and that is about 1b so a bag will cook almost a week

yes, you can adjust the flame by using the amount of propane. I love this thing. I bought a 5 lb tank and wish I had gotten a 10 lb. tank to use with it

Yes, the flame is adjustable. There is a knob on the front that you turn to start when lighting, adjusting the flame and turning it off.

The grill grate is about 8 inches inside the barrel. The charcoal is about 20 inches below the below the grate. This makes it harder to turn your burgers and steaks than a standard grill. I don't expect you can get a good sear either due to the distance from the coals. I don't use it for things I want to cook fast.

There is no crank in the current version. The coal grate (actually a steel pan) is suspended by hangers at each end, with three levels of hooks. It is easy enough to set to any of these three levels when cold, but while the fire is going, you will need to wear thick gloves or use some tool to shift the hangers. The three levels are rather low, in my opinion. The lowest is just about on the bottom of the fire box, the highest is a good 6" below the cooking grate.

This does not appear to be adjustable and not sure why you would need it to be that way other than calibration. I love my thermometer and it does what it's built to do, let me know the internal grill temperature.

Get your coals going, brown steaks / pork Chops / chicken with top off. Then put top on & CLOSE vents. You can regulate the temps by opening / closing vents. You may have to add charcoal to raise temps. Happy Grilling.

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