Can it be used without the grate in the bottom? Is the bottom completely solid, no leaks?

I have so far always put a wee pad on top, but the construction is that there is a solid, molded plastic base with about two inches of walls, to which the wall extensions attach on three sides. In the center, elevated above the solid base, is a plastic grate (with supports underneath so a dog can walk on it without bowing it) that snaps in place, and around the perimeter an additional piece to snap the wee pad in place. So you would have the option of using, the wee-pad holder and the grate itself -- or doing without them as you see fit.

It is solid...you can remove the grate. I do not why you would, you are defeating the purpose of it, giving space for excessive urine.

Yes, I removed grate and sides. Bottom solid. I have 6lb Pomeranian female. Use litter box type with male. Taught her "in the box" and "out of the box" like a circus dog, because she was afraid at first. Went to confined area with bed, box and food so she would have no choice. NOW everything is perfect. I fold the pad smaller so she is not one leg in and the other out lazy, LOL.

I did not purchase a grate, do you mean something to protect the bottom of the sink to prevent scratches? It is an excellent sink and I am so glad I purchased it. I just protect the bottom with a piece of that foam shelf liner if I am cleaning a big pot or pan.

Yes the bottom is flat with a screw off piece that needs to be lined up with the male piece on the bottom... I can fill it in any sink even my bathroom sink?

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

I would not recommend that at all. It has no bottom and I cannot think of a solidly reliable way to seal it up unless you built a bottom.

Yes. The stainless ring is a thin ring holding the colander and it is solid so there wont be any leaking on the side of the bottom through the ring, but the base or inside between the ring, which is the bottom of the actual colander, has holes to drain through the bottom, between the solid ring that actually touches the surface that the colander sits on.

Just the contour of the bottom bowl, there's a lip where the grate sits, but if you bump or push it, it will move. Trust me, don't buy this thing. Good luck either way.

No grate for the bottom. There's a grill rack that goes above. I don't expect to get more than a few years out of this but it is light weight and easy to move around.

It does have an area at the bottom where excess water can filter into. No water has ever leaked out of my two pots. It is sealed up all the way around.

There's a plastic grate that goes under it. I don't remember if it was optional or not.

The flange at the bottom is OPTIONAL, primarily for someone that is converting from a 3 hole faucet set to one. I installed mine without it as I previously had a one hole faucet. It looks beautiful without it.

The 'ring' around the bottom that keeps the colander above the surface is solid stainless but it ia only a 'ring'. Looking down to the middle from the inside of the colander there are holes throughout just as the rest of the colander s 'holy'. So you won't have any leakage through the base on the sides through the solid 'ring', only in between the ring down inside the base.

No. You cannot get the bottom (underneath) wet and it would be difficult to clean. Heat water ONLY.

No. This camping toilet is designed to be self-contained and the only extra expense you will need with this unit is the odor control packets or liquid whichever you prefer. The bottom is completely separate from the top with a spout complete with a heavy duty sealed screw-on cap that folds into it's own self contained storage spot while you're using it or out if you need to empty it; usually into your toilet at home or any approved RV dump site. I have had one in my semi-truck for over four years and have never had a leak due to the design or proper use of this unit. These toilets are sturdy and I highly recommend them.

We did not put anything in the bottom, we have used it quite a bit over the past 9 months. I do suggest looking for a different grate for bottom. The one it comes with isn't very sturdy. Also, I would purchase some sort of cover to keep rain out. Our family absolutely enjoys this chimea/cooker. Hope this helps you.

Honestly I have never removed the grill grate. I just drop it right on top and never worry about it. That also gives me the grill in front to grill something if I need to. I really enjoy this grill and glad I bought it.

Not sure what you mean by "without the cooking grate". If you mean without the Gourmet Cooking Grate, but with a standard cooking grate, then the answer is yes, you can. I use it all the time on an electric stove top, a gas stove top and on a Kamado style charcoal grill, as well as the Gourmet Weber grate in my Weber. Its really a great pan and is my go-to for many things from scrambled eggs to baked cauliflower.
