Could you fry/poach a small trout in this? Could you use this with a lightweight fry pan?

It would have to be a very small trout. Think of this as an oversize coffee mug. I've only used this to boil water for instant coffee and Mountain House Meals. You could put a small aluminum fry pan on the base that holds the tablets or the alcohol stove.

You could if you cut it into smaller chunks. I keep a small jar of coconut oil inside if mine for frying. It works well. You could use a lightweight, small-diameter pan with this, but it pretty much comes with one (the "lid"). I love this cookset. Also, if you replace the plastic feet with bolts it can be used with wood. Fuel as well. This essentially makes it I tri-fuel system.

I think it would probably be a bit small for a trout, mostly this is good for rehydrating freeze dried meals and boiling water.

I assume it is possible though I have never done it (perhaps someone else can provide an answer to that?) The 2nd question I would say yes lightweight pan should work

Though I have not actually tried it, I think that straining oil would work fine. I have used mine to fish debris out of very fatty beef stock and did not have any of the fat resist passing through the mesh.

You sit rather low in the kayak, so casting would be difficult. Would work fine for still fishing, but I would personally be wary of having fish-hooks near the inflatable kayak for the risk of punctures.

Hmmm? Good question. We haven't cook a fish yet so don't know, but think it might fall apart. I wonder if a regular grill rack/basket for fish stood on end might work. We are still experimenting with our cooker and live it. Good luck!

not very well. The heat source is too far from the grate to get any kind of sear. If you were just slow cooking something, you could but I wouldn't do burgers or hot dogs on it.

Somewhere in the description on the Amazon page, it states that it is for decorative use. It is fairly sturdy, so I suppose you could try to fish with it! It is not really intended for that purpose, though. Good luck!

Yes, I fish off it often. I find it cramped for two people to fish off it but it can be done. It is perfect for one person.

We've used it for both, and it works perfectly. Spray with Pam or coat with oil; we're enjoying fish more often now that we can grill rather than fry it. KDJ

I have only used this for veggies and potatoes. I don't see why you cannot cook fish but make certain to spray with Pam before you cook anything. This stainless steel basket is only 6x6 inches square.

By the size you could but I am not sure about the material if it would hurt the fish or not.

Sorry, I haven't used it to trout fish, only bass fishing and it works great.

I think it is too heavy for crappie fishing. Go with a medium or medium light pole for that.

It will handle just fine but the drag wont last long with those drag burner fish . If you can afford a boat and fish for Mahi and triper , you should beef up you tackle

would be great for catching pan fish only though if there is no rocks to get caught up on

Not usually unless it is offered as a combo. It is a great rod for catching saltwater bait around oyster bars when you cannot throw a net. Pick up the smallest Daiwa reel you can find and put on 4 to 6lb line and you are set. Also the rod and reel combo is great for backpacking through the west. If you come across a creek catch a few grasshopper and use a small gold hook and you will have trout supper in no time. Mind the bears if you are cleaning, cooking near your camp. Good luck.

It would depend on how big the fish is. I would say you could fit a smaller size whole fish in there. The basket is about 9 1/2". Honestly I dislike this fryer very much. It is too small for my liking and I don't like that you have to take the entire thing apart in order to clean. I dislike that the prongs and unit is separate from the actual fryer and you have to put it together in order to use. Hope this helps.

I've used mine on trout upto 23-24 inches. I've even pulled a 5 lb catfish out of the river with it. I use a pflueger presidents series reel on it and love it. Like it so well I bought a second one. One set with 4 lb test and one with 6.
