Can you heat a pot of water or soup by setting on the grill, or is it not sturdy enough?

I never got a chance to use this terrible grill...This grill is absolutely hideous...So since it could not be assembled properly, I can only assume, that it isn't sturdy enough to heat a pot of water or soup.

I don't think it will be sturdy enough. Maybe a small pot, like a sauce pan will work.

There's probably not enough heat generated ... I think it's sturdy enough. Liquids just take an awful lot of heat to boil!

This depends on the size of the pot.. For a can of soup, yes As long as the pot is placed directly in the middle, but I would not recommend anything heavier as this grill is not very sturdy and really should only be used for such things as hotdogs and hamburgers only to avoid losing your food as it's cooking.

Marc, I put a spoon at the lip of the grill where it would close. This holds the grill open slightly. The handles cannot withstand the heat associated with grilling.

No. The pot is very stable. It is a thing of beauty as well as a mighty five pot to use.

On my gas stove my pot gets a rolling boil when I make soup and use medium to low heat. So I think you should be able to easily boil water in it. I still love my pot and use it even when making relatively small amounts of food.

It has a grill grate on it. It can cook it and boil pots but it would take more time

As long as it is outside over a controlled burner (not a campfire), and the temperatures are not extremely cold (such below 0), there's no reason this pot wouldn't hold up. We use ours on a huge 6 burner gas stove and fill it nearly to the brim with soup. Handles and everything have held up great.

Will boil water/cook on the stove but the pot/pan must be inexpensive quality;ie. "thin metal"

Yes this pot can be put over a fire it's titanium. I don't understand about to put fuel in side of it? I do put an alchol bottle about two oz. as well as my stove, windscreen and pot stand. As soup goes well it can hold 750 ml. of soup in this baby

I have never used this pot on a charcoal grill but have used it on the coals of a camp fire. If you do just be careful the coals are not too hot, and do not open lid. If you do you may get coals in your food.

You can run warm water but be carefull as this is a very powerfull washer. It would knock a portable grill off the deck. Okay for a big heavy cooker. Its a great rig.

We use a 6 qt. steel pot, nearly full, with no problem. Also a large cast iron skillet. I can't imagine that a heavy weight would damage it, unless dropped on it. About the heat settings: it is geared for fast heating of lots of water. For anything else, including frying, anything above 3 is too hot. Simmer is "1". The larger the pan the higher the setting can be as the energy is spread over a larger area.

I bought one of these a while back and once the legs are on it's pretty sturdy, I have had large pots of water on it without issue. I haven't had much luck getting a griddle on there though because the guides for pots/skillets/woks keep it too far off the flame.

I have a gas stove and use this pot often; not sure what temperature it can withstand, but certain it would be a high temperature. It has a heavy bottom and heats evenly. I mostly use it for soups and stews.

It's fine. I suggest you use medium heat, and pre-heat the grill pan before cooking.Since it is made of (magnetic) cast iron, it is suitable for induction stove tops as well.

I haven't used it on a grill. If you do, I'm not sure the handle could take the heat. The pan itself could take it, I would think, but the handle is typical black plastic/composite of some kind and I'm not sure it could stand the heat of a grill since grilling, typically, involves shutting the lid of the grill with the entire pan inside. If your grill allows you to hang the handle off the edge and not subject it to the heat, you may be successful in using it this way.

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.

Yes. If you are camping, and heating water over a fire, be careful not to let the pan go dry.
