Good idea, except the only way the pan can be taken outside from the oven is if it is actually heated outside. The inside smoke detector is sensitve to heat. Dunno if the sprinkler system would go off either.

Does anyone know how hot the grill can get?

Please set the line length in your newsreader to 70. Each paragraph of
your post is one LONNNNNG line.

Thanks, I cut and pasted my replies. I changed the characters to 70, but I
didn't notice much of a difference between 70 and the default 76.

I saw a cast iron ribbed grill at Wal-Mart for $29 Canadian. That's about $5
US ;-)
I believe that would be way to heavy for my portable bbq and inside the
apartment the heat alone from it would set off the smoke detector (even
opening up the oven door for more than 15 seconds sets it off).

Much better this way.
