Do you need to use the BBQ System Grate with this or can you put it right on top of the regular cooking grill?

I've been using this on a 'regular cooking grill' and have had not problems at all. I leave the stone in the metal rack, and just place it on the grill. I haven't had any troubles at all.

Yes you may place it on the grill, but, a little experimenting is necessary. I like to get my fire way above the 500 Degree mark on the grill. After a few burnt underside crusts, and at the opposite side of the spectrum - middle of the pizza not done enough to my liking (I am very liberal with my toppings), I arrived at the perfect arrangement. Plcae a pile of coals on each side of the grill (indirect cooking method). Place 6 Briquets or the uquivalent in Natural Lump Charcoal in 1 LAYER underneath the center of the pizza. Light all coals with lighter fluid. Once coals are ready close the top of the grill and wait for temperature to be scorching hot. Place pizza stone in center and close for 1-2 minutes (longer it will be too hot and crust will be burnt) Place pizza on stone and close lid. In about 8 minutes it will be perfect. (make sure you have good quality hot pads). Remove pizza stone and place in Weber stainless steel carrier that comes with stone. Pizza stays hot much longer on stone. For pizza, either make your own, or start with a good quality frozen pizza such as East Side Caf or Vito and Nicks. I add mozzarella, and fresh toppings. I always add a few dashes of extra virgin olive oil and small amount of sea salt. Try Arugula and Prosciutto with some re constituted diced morel mushrooms (items placed under cheese).

I place the whole thing right on top of the grill. It goes with the rack/carrier for the stone that you place on the grill.

Just under 3 inches under the grate. It's best for raising food just above the grill. You could slide burgers underneath, but would need to pull them out to flip.

you want to place on the briquettes or balance on flavor bars/heat shield underneath the cooking grates. That way it does not take up any of your cooking space and gets more heat.

Nope. The lid will sit on it just fine without the grate. We've never even used the grate!

The top is to place to add more coals if you need to, BUT.....if you adjust the grill perfectly, you won't have to add anything. This grill can easily go for 10 hours without adding coals.

No. There are hooks on each side that the coal grate sits on. It has four heights to choose from. The grill comes with a little cast iron handle that you can use to lower or heighten the coals as well as move the cooking grates when it's hot.

no need works great directly on the grill, in the oven and stove top. Just be sure to melt some ghee in the bottom to avoid sticking. Check after awhile and leave the top off to thicken things up.

I don't know if you are "supposed to" but we bought ours for that specific purpose. We take it camping and cook on it, on top of the grill, all the time. It has held up great. We love this griddle so much, we bought one for each of our parents.

If you mean, is there a a regular stove burn grate to use in place of the griddle, then yes I have one for my GE grill. We use this rather than the griddle. We have rarely used the griddle insert. Look up replacement parts for your particular stove.

I use the grates on my 22" Webber Charcoal grill could use 3 grates if necessary. This is the Best grill grate I have ever used, I have been using them for about 3 years and would never cook without them. No flare ups ever.

We use the grill a lot cooking overtop of a fire and it's perfect. We let the flames touch the grill, and touch the food - just look cooking over top of a regular grill. Same concept, just much more portable, and allows you to cook over a fire. We love it! You can always put aluminum foil down overtop the grill if you would prefer to cook on aluminum foil. The grill works great for us.

You cook with it. No need to season meat or seafood when you place on the grill

The lid rests on whatever is on the grill. There is a hinge that allows for raising the back of the lid to allow for the thickness of the product being cooked. I have never tried to use the grill without lowering the lid, but I don't think there would be enough heat to cook anything without lowering the lid.

Cannot help with this question. We seldom cook directly on the grates on any type of grill...rather in aluminum or baking pans. Mostly from the standpoint is that burning grease healthy for you and secondly, what a mess to clean up. Again, this is a great grill, quick to heat up, and gets food to the correct internal temp fast.

I am not familiar with your grill model. However, I just lay the grates on top of my old Weber grates. I usually do not use them when I want to use the indirect heating method and I have aluminum foil on the grill. William's answer on December 30 is good. I use the grill grates mostly when i am cooking on high or direct heat, and I do not want any grease flair ups.

Directly on grill. Could use griddle or pan if you want as well. It is the same as a BBQ.

No, you do not have to season it. It will rust. Applying some cooking oil to the grate before/after cooking will do a lot towards keeping the rust off. In time, it will develop a "seasoning" coating on the grill sort of like what develops on a cast iron skillet.
