Is it sturdy enough to set a cast iron skillet ontop of and cook food without worrying about damaging the burner setup?

It's sturdy but probably better not to put something quite so heavy on it. There are plenty of good quality "clad"pans that would be better. I hope this helps. T

The burner is very sturdy. It is strong enough to handle an iron skillet but it could get a little top heavy if the skillet is too large.

It's pretty sturdy. The skillet I used on it is like a 10" Hard Anodized that weighs 2 lbs. and 4 oz. It seems plenty sturdy enough to handle something heavier. My cast iron skillet weighs like 4 lbs. I don't think it would have any issue with that. If you have a Walmart close by, you could go in and take a look at them. They were selling the same model for about $10 more than I paid on Amazon.

The heaviest item I've put on it was probably around 5 lbs (a pot full or chili). I can't imagine that weight would cause any damage to it. it's a good little burner and well worth the price. Good luck!

Use it all the time in the duck blind. 10" Cast Iron Lodge. No problem at all!I cook on the lowest setting otherwise is gets TOO hot!

Very well! This thing is very sturdy, we cooked on it directly, as well as with 2 cast iron skillets, and lightweight camp cookware.

I think the seville classics line would be more sturdy. I use this to hold cans of food in my pantry, works well for that purpose. The one I bought can sit on your counter, and will expand to larger width. That's what I have my cast iron pans on, unexpanded.

I like mine very much, and it is sturdy. But I only use it as intended -- to get additional counter space by placing it over 2 burners of my stove. In that position, it has the full support of the stovetop, where you wouldn't have that on a cart.

Yes. It's quite sturdy.I'm not sure what the previous commenter is referring to. Ours has lasted since the purchase and we roast frequently.

You could, but as long as you realize it's going to bend from the heat and weight. I'm not sure what 'sturdy' item other people are using, but I had a cast iron skillet on mine for one weekend and by the end it was bowed in the middle and all the paint had chipped off.

I have cast iron cookware as well. I mounted my rack to wall studs, and it securely holds 3 large cast iron skillets and a full set of pots and pans. This is a thin rack, so the shelf storage is minimal. Cook books and larger pots don't sit flush on the shelf, but I let them stick out a bit. The thinner size works for my kitchen space.

Probably not. I have a large cast iron skillet and I wouldn't try hanging it on the pot rack. Anything aluminum is ok.

It should hold cast iron cookware. But, I would not overload it. It is smaller then I would of liked for a grill.

I have not attempted to do so, but am sure it would be fine. It's constructed of heavy cast iron, so you'd use it, as you would other cast iron cookware over a fire. I imagine, you'd be best served placing it over a stand up grill, over the fire.

I believe it is strong enough to support a standard-sized cast-iron pot, if that is what you are referring to. If you are referring to a footed camp-style Dutch oven, probably not.

No, it will not tip. It is very sturdy. I can put my cast iron skillet in it without a worry.

it would probably be sturdy enough if it was attached to studs in the wall, but personaly, i would not take the chance. cast iron is extremely heavy, and would cause a lot of damage if it fell. i have 2 cast iron skillets and they are the only pans i keep in my cabinet. hope this was helpful.

I've had no problems thus far. I bought this skillet so I could genuinely scour it if I had to cook something likely to stick to nonstick surfaces. I still use a fairly pedestrian nonstick for less demanding applications. This is a very good quality pan - it should resist warping at least as much as any other brand. One thing I value is its ability to handle oven heat.

Maybe. It is sturdy, but I'm afraid high heat together with heavy logs may soften the metal and bend the grill. I bought a wood rack for the bottom of the fire pit. Have you looked at that?

I wouldn't suggest it. There is a small ridge on the bottom and this is a very large skillet! I would be afraid of dropping it and cracking the glass.

The two piece cast iron racks that hold the cooking pots and skillets above the burner are heavier duty that others. This unit is well made and I am confident you will be happy with it. The two piece cast iron racks make it easier to clean also.
