I'm thinking of using this as a table top fire pit grate. Would it be able to survive the heat?

Not sure about direct heat; but, it did rust on the first washing before I ever put it into my Dutch Oven.

Do you realize how small this is ? I use it in my crockpot to cook meatloaf on. Husband says it would not take the heat of a fire

I would think so. We used it on a propane stove and on the grill over a campfire and it worked perfectly. It has a nice heft to it, not as thin as a previous one.

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.

I would not depend on the fire pit giving off enough heat when windy or below 60 degrees; get an infrared overhead propane heater to supplement the unit's heat for comfort. It does give off heat, but mostly it is "eye candy". We are very satisfied with the build, design & function of the unit - a very good buy for the price.

I am not sure if it would hold up for many cookings. The most heat I have exposed it to is in a boiling pot of water for canning.

The metal is fairly thin. You 'could' set it on coals, but my guess is, it won't last very long that way. We only ever put it on a grate over the fire/coals.

Maybe. It is sturdy, but I'm afraid high heat together with heavy logs may soften the metal and bend the grill. I bought a wood rack for the bottom of the fire pit. Have you looked at that?

We bought a fire resistant heat shield to put under the fire pit BUT since we have a Trex deck we can't put this on the deck as Trex burns like fuel. But if you have a wooden deck and use caution and a fire resistant shield. Since this can be rolled out of danger, I guess you could, with Caution! But if you're going to get crazy and tip it over, NO, I wouldn't use it on a deck. We use ours on the gravel in front of our deck. As with all thinks with Fire, Use common sense and caution, then it will work.

I have not tried. I have briefly handled the grill grate in my BBQ since I need to move some coals and all I felt was a little warmth. If I were to pick up a burning log in a campfire I would only do that if there was a section of the log that was not on fire. I am confident I would be protected from surrounding heat but I wouldn't attempt direct flame contact. That is what fire poker and tools are for.

yea it is heat resistant , you can put a lighter to it and nothing will happen, although ur cook top will be much hotter.

I'm using it for an outdoor gas fire pit. Works fine, but I'm experimenting with the gas vent to avoid blue flame.

It sits on top of the super big sky, not down in it. You could burn wood on top of it but the point of a fire pit is to control and contain the fire, you would want to ensure the fire would be contained somehow. Otherwise, it is good steel and would hold up for a while. Over time, the steel will rust some and begin to warp from the direct heat of the coals and then cooling slowly... kind of like annealing it. but it will take a while to hurt it.

i dont believe so , most likely it wont resist the extreme temperatures of a house fire . however it is great for keeping documents/valuables/dangerous items away from family memebers and friends. although if you threw it out of the 4th story of a building it would probably break right open. this is not for top level safety this is just for a hobbyist to keep certain items out of reach of others

Yes I would. It is holding up nicely even in bad weather. Our grill sits on our back covered patio. It does stretch a little which helps to cover the corners a little better.

Maybe...if you build darn near a blast furnace under it. Any fire hot enough to "melt" or even distort this thing is way too hot to cook over. You would burn the outside into a piece of charcoal and still have raw meet inside. Personally though, I've never had a problem like that. It's made of very rugged steel. I really like it.

It should be fine, it is cool to the touch on the base, even the granite is fine for setting drinks on while the fire is lit. It will take two strong people to lift it though.

Yes this table will most definitly withstand the heat of a stove. That is what I primarily use mine for. The top is aluminum slats.
