Can this be placed on a wood cart? Does the bottom get too hot?

I've checked when using, the bottom of toaster and my countertop doesn't get hot. BUT: the top of toaster gets hot. So, I make sure I remove anything that was on top before using.

Yes, it can be placed on a wooden cart. The bottom does get very hot, but the feet keep it up off the surface it sits on. These are designed to sit on a countertop without damaging the surface from heat.

It has not burned my formica countertop. If you have not yet purchased this item, find something else. If you have already purchased it then you are aware of its problems. Don't buy this item if you don't like burning your hands and eating burnt toast.

Yes. The heat won't be a issue. Your Coleman camp stove shouldn't be producing much heat from the bottom. If it is getting hot enough to melt surfaces when you cook on it, you may have an issue with your stove that is potentially dangerous. However, it is wobbly. I always bring a 4ft folding table out to the site to act as my cooking surface/prep/storage area.

I think it's too hot for a plastic table. The bottom doesn't necessarily get too hot - it sits up on legs but the oven itself gets to 8 or 900 degrees so I don't think that's a great idea. I have mine on a metal rolling cart with a tile top. Hope that helps!I put mine on a metal rolling cart that has a tile top. Hope that helps.

I would say yes but I would definitely use a trivet underneath. I would not allow any condensate or moisture on any wood as it would leave discoloration. Always use coaster or trivets. It is a wonderful sturdy little cart for the money but it is not a heavyweight. Hope this helps.

I would put something like a baker's sheet under it and it may still scorch the wood. I have mine on a little steel mesh table.

Gets extremely hot - I wouldn't recommend it on a wooden deck. We have it on our patio with a grill pad underneath it to protect the patio from rust marks.

My son did not use wood glue when putting my cart together and it's holding up very well. I put my 6 quarts slow cooker on the top shelf while cooking. I cooked the corned beef and cabbage in the slow cooker yesterday.

I haven't tried it on my wooden deck but it does transfer a lot of heat to the grass under it so I would use caution on a deck or maybe put paving stones under it to be safe!!!

With the exception of some nuts on the handle and underneath the cart, this can be safely kept outside. Leave it face up, and use the "dumping" lever to get rid of accumulated rain water and the nuts underneath won't rust. Alternatively, using a silicone-based spray on the exposed metal parts occasionally should also address any problems arising from it being stored outside. Other than its assembly directions being really unclear, I love this cart.

I would not try although I am not an expert. The wood seemed pretty well sealed to me. You would have to totally sand it down. Too bad it does not come in the color you want. We really like this cart and it has held up well and been very useful for us.

You would probably have to add a piece of wood across one side of the cart to do this, but yes I think it could be done.

I would not sipmly due to the heat from the fire pit. It works well and looks nice. I would use extreme caution on a wood deck.

The top of the island we have is wooden, and it's not a butcher's block. They do make a model with a marble top (you'd have to check with someone who bought it for advice). I would not place hot pans on the wood. We use a pot holder or trivet to prevent burning the surface, as wood is more susceptible to this versus a granite top, for instance.

The top could be used as a "portable grill" with out the cart, but the "cart" "firmly attaches" to the grill (you wouldn't want it any other way). It would take some time to remove the grill from the cart (keep assembly instructions if you want to do this). If I have an "event" with no other grill available, I'd take the time to separate the grill from the cart and use it as a portable.

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.

The shelves are adjustable, you can put the middle shelf higher or lower to accommodate big things in the bottom. But to answer your question, you could leave out the middle shelf but remember that the shelves are what hold the cart together so any removal could make it wobbly. In looking at my cart I see no reason why you couldn't place the middle shelf an inch below the wood top and use it as a utensil draw. That would give you almost the entire cart of free space and keep the integrity.

I don't see why not. I use my cart outdoors on dirt paths and it works great. I do not know how the wheels go on other surfaces or if they might mark floors but based on other comments it sounds like that isn't an issue.
