Can you use this grill on a wood, aluminum or plastic table or does it have to be on a heatproof surface?

I didn't buy the stand, I have it on a leftover piece of laminate countertop from a kitchen remodel and there has been no issues.

You don't need any thing under it. It has a leg system that holds it up far enough to prevent damage and also holds a throw away drip pan.

My grill is sitting on top of a stone table. The bowl of the grill is about 5" above the table. I don't know if a wood table would be damaged. Aluminum, I think would be OK. Plastic might not work. Most of the heat is on the grill top. It is a great grill. Enjoy!

We have the portable stand but on many occasions just place it on the wooden picnic tables and never had a problem

I use it on a Weber grill stand - whose surface is made out of plastic - with no problems at all. The heat seems to draft up. This grill is made primarily for picnicking, tailgating, etc. - which means use on a variety of surfaces - I believe you will be real happy with it for table top use on a wood, plastic or aluminum surface. (You can tell I really like it)

Yeah you can use it on anything. I've used it on a plastic folding table. The legs on the grill are made from a tough polymer that I would assume is heat resistant. I've had mine pretty hot for a while cooking lots of stuff and had no issues.

I use it on the stand that's made for the product (sold separately) and the tailgate of my truck when we are tailgating. The product recommends that it is used on a heat proof surface. The heat from the grill may char the wood and crack any glass. The stand is great and very portable. It's worth it's price also. I'd at least go with the grill first. Hope this helps!

We set the grill on a metal or wooden picnic table. The heat stays pretty much inside the grill. If it didn't the legs & handles would melt.

You can use the grill on wood and aluminum. I do not recommend using it on plastic. The grill stands high enough for most surfaces.

Directly on grill. Could use griddle or pan if you want as well. It is the same as a BBQ.

I wouldn't want to say yes, but I will say that we have ours on a wood deck and it has caused no discoloration or problems. It really is no more than a propane gas grill.

I wouldn't use it for grilling but I imagine it would be ok if it was not directly over the flame/coals. I use mine often with a standard stove and love it.

I wouldn't! I grill on my granite counter and it's fine but I wouldn't risk it on a wood table

Some type of non stick surface which works quite well. I grill with Teriyaki marinade frequently which is usually very difficult to clean but it does not stick to the grill.

We've never tried a BBQ grill, but I wouldn't think it wise. The surface is Formica-like. I wouldn't hesitate to use a Coleman stove, although we've never used it for that, either.

I used open fire (wood) in the backyard. Played with size of the fire and distance from it to the can to get it right. Using a grill would probably work, too, although it might get stained. You need a lot of heat, so a gas stove would not be enough, in my opinion, at least outside in any kind of wind. And I would never heat it up inside because of the smell. The plastic parts are pretty useless, they melt and break. The product itself is great. The quality of repair is excellent.

You should allow any grill to cool completely before you cover it with any fabric cover. Otherwise it's a fire hazard.

I use aluminum pans. A small Weber pan for charcoal,(with marble size holes) and a larger one under the food. I usually cook indirect. I use this grill on the road while RVing. Hope this helps.

I would oly use it with metal. It did not get overly hot but I would to take the chance with plastic. Maureen

If you use this item on a wooden deck or other combustible surface, or any surface not entirely resistant to high heat, you must use a non-flammable, heat-resistant material such as concrete pavers, brick or stone between Fire Pit and surface

For several months now, I have had mine setting on a nice rolling wooden cart with 6mm thick porcelain tile under it to protect the wood. The tile is glued in place and extends about 40mm beyond the edge of the grill. It looks great and works very well. A high temperature plastic base might be acceptable to use.

I would say no because surface of the table is not metal. The surface is somewhat water resistance, and I don't think it is water and weather proof.

I do not believe this is safe to use on a very hot surface. this is just a cover to put over burners when NOT in use.

We have only used ours camping where a picnic table was available for cooking. I would not want to set it on the ground or in sand to cook on, but that's just me.

I'm not sure how hot the grill gets on the bottom. It might melt the plastic. It's great for food service though. It's a heavy, sturdy table.
