When using it at temps above "smoke" setting it is really more like an oven, and in fact we have used ours to bake cookies and pizzas etc.

Thank you - and I get the not-really-a-grill limitation. Luckily I have charcoal for that, and in this house steaks go into a cast iron pan, outdoors on the wok cooker.
I think I see this tool in my future (especially when beef's on sale).
