Question:

I see a review that says its safe to cook on but what about roasting hotdogs and marshmallows like over a traditional fire? We tried it and the hotdogs had a sooty sort of film so we threw them out, dont see a warning aware that says not to cook on the flame

Expert Reply:

The Big Red Portable Campfire # CAM58035 is a propane fire/grille and was designed to be cooked on if wanted as it has a cooking grate part # CAM58038 that has been certified by USA and Canada as safe. I would say that you could use the heat from the campfire, but not the direct flame. You could lay the hotdogs in a pan on the grill and hold the marshmallows above the flame, but not in it. The description of the grill says that it is to heat coffee pots, tea kettles, and food in pots and pans.
