Does the grate have to be on top for the lid to work/sit on?

No it doesn't. If you purchase this make sure you get a cover because mine is rusted out.

No the grate does not have to be on top. I use mine all the time without it.
1735732
Nope. The lid will sit on it just fine without the grate. We've never even used the grate!

No it doesn't. The grate works wonderful for cooking fish/steaks but you can install lid w/o grate.

It does...after taking the chimney extension off, the grate rests on top of the round base. The grate is fairly sturdy, but not the same as a Weber grill. Big enough for 4 burgers or a couple of steaks. I have not tried using the grate yet.

The lid sits on it, from what i can recall. This was a gift for my step-daughter and it's been a while. Hope this helps.

Lid seems to just rest in the top, though in the groove. Wind does not seem to blow it off so cover stays on anyway.

No. But you can sit it on top resting against the wall (either sideways or longways)

Yes....when you have the lid open you can rest a grill over the open half.....have done this....works great

The lid is very sturdy and heavy. It just sits on top like any normal lid on a skillet or saucepan. And no, nothing but steam ever comes out the vent on top. Hope this helps!

With both the toilet lid and toilet seat up, it just sits over the top edge of the toilet bowl. No installation or any other parts required. Works great!

Yes it does. The lid needs to be clamped in place,otherwise there is a gap. I think it's due to the rubber seal.

The lid does lay flat onto the rim, however the lid does slide a tiny bit side to side.

No, but a standard size camp griddle will fit on top of both burners on top of the grate.

I don't know; I never tried it that way. I think the directions call for it to rest on the grates and that is always how I have used it.

Yes. The metal grate has a handle on it and slides out easily. There is also a plastic tray at the bottom that slides out.

No. There are two fixed-position grates. One for charcoal and one for the food.

No .... The lid sits loosely on the top of the strainer. The lid is a nice feature because while the tea is steeping it covers the top. But then, when the tea is ready, the lid is a place to set the strainer on.

The grilling surface sits on top of the heating element. Neither the heat element nor the grilling surface are removable ( for cleaning). Overall, we are very happy with the grill. We live in a high rise and cannot have a gas grill.

It does not. It comes with a solid bottom; the instructions recommend putting some sand into it. The decorative perforations in the side allow air into the pit. But as far as directly under the wood...nope. No grate. A grate would be a nice addition; there's been mornings I noticed a piece or two didn't burn all the way to ash. That would never happen if there were a grate. You'll need to prep the fire like a boy scout & be prepared to move things around with tongs or a poker every now & then. All part of the fun, I think.
