I would say give it a good burn before using it to cook food. Other then that great idea.

OT I'd burn it just to see how it works but I don't see any other reason to pre burn before cooking.. They've got a skillet on it so it shouldn't effect any taste

I can think of one very good reason not to use that. metal fume feverNormal room temperature will not affect galvanized material. However, depending on galvanizing process, it can create fumes at or near the melting point of zinc (the usual suspect for the galvanic metal). Cooking with it also raises the possibility of ingesting particles. This is a bad idea for more than one reason.

Wow. Thanks for the warning! That makes it no good even for an emergency heating device.

Build a good hardwood fire in open air, toss it in the fire, and clear out for while. That was mentioned. I should have included it in a disclaimer. Requires a burn-in in an open area.
