A:AnswerHello - I was unable to find the exact length of a Duraflame log, but this fire pit should comfortably hold fuel up to approximately 20" in length.
A:AnswerHi Lexie - possibly. We have not tested various cooking methods. It's likely that anything you could normally cook in a pan on a stove (grilled cheese, fish, steak, etc.) would have the best results. Something that requires a more oven-like cooking method (whole bird, roast, etc.) may not work well as consistent ambient temperature is more important.
