Can it be used on a cold grill or does it use the heat from the grill to make steam?

never tried it on a cold grill. the heat from the grill forms the steam and removes stuff really slick..my husband loves it..hope this helps

The heat from the grill makes steam which helps in cleaning, so scrubbing a cold grill would be less effective.

I suppose it could be used on a cold grill, but I don't think it would be very effective. The steam is really what helps do the cleaning.

It can be used on a cold grill but you will not get the same results. It needs lots of heat to create steam to clean. That's the whole point of this thing holding water. I usually clean my grill right aftermI'm done grilling. Everything is already very hot so cleaning takes a couple of minutes.

it would not have the same effect on a cold grill. If I were to use it on a cold grill, I would not use the water. The wire brush is very strong and could clean without water. But having a heated grill with the water, works wonders.

I used mine for exhausting lead pot fumes so not much heat involved. But it's made heavy enough that it could be used to push heat from a furnace easy enough. If I had to guess I would say as long as the fan is running it would take 200-300 degrees easy enough.

Not unless your grill has a side burner. It is made for a focused heat source

It can only burn about one burger at a time. The rest of the grill stays too cold to cook on. Buy something else.

it would work if you like cold showers the steam generator is not a hot water heater for the shower hot water

Not really sure. I can control the heat on my gas grill, but if you started with the grill, so it would heat up slow should work. But please think about contacting the mfg. Company for a good answer. Hope this helps.

Still using mine after a full summer of grilling. Steam cleaned after grilling every time. 4 times a week griller. I still love it.

I would not recommend it. It's silicone. So I don't imagine it would with stand that constant amount of heat for the time it would take to steam something.

I don't recommend the use of steel wool of any grade on the heating element of an electric grill. The danger is that tiny bits of steel wool could be left on the element that could potentially spark and cause a fire. I use and highly recommend a nylon-based scrubber like Scotch Brite or a microfiber-based scrubber. Use it while the grill is still warm but not so hot as to burn yourself. Regular use after grilling will prevent buildup on the element.

It works great on my weber kettle in the warmer climates starting around 50 f. The weber is not insulated enough for cold temps.

I use the saw tooth shaped scraper that came with the grill. If you get all the loose stuff off that's good enough. The meat doesn't lay too far into the grooves. I clean mine when it is cold.

Hi Patricia, no it can't. As I wrote in my review (1 Star for this thing), it can't take the heat, so it won't be able to on a gas grill either. I can't recommend it.

I bought mine to use when the power went out, and I had to use the grill for cooking. I also use it for camping. If you can put pots and pans on the stove, there should be no reason not to put this boiler on there either, at low temperatures. No glowing red-hot burner. The manufacturer is concerned with the enamel coating popping off due to high heat, and they have to guard against litigations these days.... This type of cookware was always used over an open fire, not sitting in roaring hot coals (or in your case, on the stove eye). I put it on the grill after the fire has died down, and coals are still hot.

In the directions, it says you can use it as a vertical steamer if you pull down on the item being steamed. I have not tried it myself but this is a great iron and steams well on a flat surface.

I've used a number of Lodge cast iron pieces on the grill, and they work great. Coat them with some light olive oil (not pure or extra virgin) before putting on the grill, and the seasoning builds and can take heat to over 500 degrees. I have not used this one yet, but it should be no different than the others.

The documentation states that it should not be used as a heat source if the temperature is below 40 degrees. Mine will not heat effectively in very cold conditions. However; it will perform well in the 50 degree range and above. I suggest a call to the manufacture.
