can you use charcoal

I wouldn't. The fuel is on the same surface that you cook on, and you'd likely end up with charcoal in your food. Plus charcoal is unlikely to get the oven up to the high temperatures usually associated with making pizza and so on.

The ilFornino Basic is not intended for very high heat. Charcoal produces high heat. Check the next model which is the Professional Series, it holds up to more heat since the Stainless is thicker and is of higher grade. once the charcoal is lit you push it to the far back of oven and you start cooking. Again we do not the use of Charcoal with the Basic but you can use it with the Professional or Elite Series.

The few times I've used it that has never been an issue because the charcoal lasts so long. Use the lump charcoal that burns for a long time. I've wondered how to add charcoal even though I've not had to. It seems that you would have to remove the food and then add charcoal.

No, some dentist haveused charcoal as a cleaner for years. Only use a couple times a week. Kills bad breath instantly.

I can't see why not. The tray is metal that holds the charcoal and it is adjustable in hight. It is rather long so indirect heating is possible.

I would only use charcoal because in the video it specifies "charcoal grill." If you prefer wood, I would Google a wood chip grill.

No, but there is no need to. You adjust the heat with the vents. If you want to have the coals close to the cooking surface, you can use the included baskets to pile up the charcoal.

Yes, we have used hardwood lump charcoal and have added soaked hardwood for smoking, both with excellent results.

I use briquets but I'm sure wood type charcoal would be fine.My Smokey mountain works great but I have one serious complaint that the top cover does not overlap when it is on and if you leave the smoker out in the rain without the cover, the bottom will fill with water and you will have a big mess to clean up before you use it the next time. Shame on Weber with this design flaw...I'm not real happy with this smoker for this reason.

Yes you can use on charcoal grill. No you can put them on the rack but at low temperature and slow cook.

We have not tried that, but I believe that wood burns differently than the charcoal. I think you could use smoking chips, the kind you wet and throw on the coals, but I don't think wood is recommended.

Yes. The grill uses only a small amount of charcoal and most just burns down to ashes. You can also put a sheet of aluminium foil on the bottom of the grill and fold up the ashes once cool. I have not found this to be a problem. I think it is a great product.

Wood charcoal... you can. Lump charcoal will damage it according to the Cook-Air people.... Western woods works great. Best steak I ever did on a bbq.

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.

Haven't tried it but from my experience I think it would work. Just open vents when you want new charcoal to light.
