If it'll support the weight. That'd be my concern. A full boil for a 5gal batch is between 50 and 60 pounds. I don't think my Weber kettle would handle that, but a bigger propane model with cast iron grates probably would.

Sure you can. In most cases the btu output of your grill is going to exceed that of your stove.

My charbroil has solid brass burners and I've straddled two of them with a 30qt pot for many batches. Most grills have cheap sheet metal burners though.

THATS HOT! (no pun intended...LOL)
I have a pretty big propane grill with cast iron grates right outside. That would eliminate the "smell issue" that occurred this weekend when I brewed!
As for the weight, I only boiled 3 gallons, not the full 5, so it wont be an issue.
Thanks guys...I was just about to start shopping for a propane burner when that occured to me.

Lucky bastard! It takes a real man to brew in a townhouse complex with strict fire codes against propane. Or an idiot like me

Dude... wife was out shopping all day while I brewed. I had the windows open, the house fan on, the stove extractor, and a 2-hour buffer between the time I finished and the time she got home. Both my kids were home with me wearing jackets! LOL... I thought I was in the clear by the time she came home... boy was I mistaken! I thought she was gonna kill me! LOL...
Outdoor grill is the way to go.
That being said, should I keep it covered while it's boiling so none of that outdoor stuff gets into the brew?

Don't cover it around the hot break and hop addition times. If you have to cover it, do not cover completely. I'd just put a splatter screen over it myself...

I saw a guy on here that posted about using coal with a grate over the fire to brew with. Any heat source should work if it gets hot.
