I tried it with some charcoal, and the results were disappointing. The grill did heat up, but it took forever to warm a piece of food and watn't user-friendly because it was small. Sterno would be the same experience because it isn't very hot.I looked at larger hibachis but face it, they aren't particularly safe inside and could scorch the table they're sitting on. In short, the hibachi was fun but wouldn't work well for a group except as a novelty item rather than something to depend on for warming appetizers. My plan is to use an electric griddle at my next party. It is safe, I can control the heat, and it is large enough for several people to warm (or cook) whatever food they want on it. dcman
