Can you use charcoal in it?

Absolutely, when we use it for campfires and grilling, it may burn for 5 or 6 hours and it is fine.

It's good for pretty much any amount of food. I would just use less charcoal and it would still cook great.

Absolutely. I bought this for a charcoal grill. It turned color after a couple of times but doesn't affect performance. After lighting the coals I place the box (containing soaked wood chips) directly on the lit coals. While I don't use gas, my sister does and I am not sure how I'd use the box on a gas grill. I'm sure if you place it over a heat source it would be fine, but for me charcoal is the way to go.

I have not used this specific Lodge product on charcoal but I have used a very simple one with a different handle. I think it will work fine. You will need to position the top so the handles are not overlapping making it easy to remove the lid to check the contents when cooking. Cast iron is very durable and can be used on the stove top, in the oven, on a fire or even in coals.

Although I haven't tried this, I suppose you can take out the middle section and place the grate on top of the charcoal ring. Weber offers a bbq grill that can also be used for smoking, I have a friend who has one and it smokes very well. If you are going to do more grilling than smoking that might be a better choice. Hope that helps.

absolutely... you have a base of sand and then brick if you like so charcoal should be no problem.

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 also have a charcoal smoker and have used charcoal and wood chunks for smoking. I have not used wood to provide the heat for the smoker however I would imagine you could experiment trying a combination of wood and charcoal or just wood.

The instructions do not mention use in a charcoal grill. They do say to not use where the temperature is over 486 degrees F.

If you can use wood logs I can't think of any reason why you couldn't use charcoal. The grate openings for the ashes are small enough that the briquettes wouldn't fall through. So should work. Probably easier to cook pizza with.

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.

You can pile your charcoal in one end and cook as little as you want. It is a really nice grill and will outlast almost all others if you keep it reasonably clean.

We use it in our charcoal grill and it work great. soak wood chips well and place it in/near hot coals so that the box gets hot enough to cause chips to smoke. We love it

I wouldn't put it on a charcoal grill, I only use it to put the cooked meat on it, keeps it warm while carrying it to the kitchen.
