You can cook over logs on it but you need to keep the food/pots to the outside edge of the fire where there aren't any flames, just embers, as flames will cook food too fast and blacken it. It's just like using a bbq really, you need the flames to die down and just use the heat from the red embers.

We do it the other way round on our Weber Go Anywhere. We barby first, with charcoal, then put a fire log on after.

And we do the same as Mike. Charcoal to barby and then put some wood on to keep the fire going when we've eaten

Only use hardwoods, though. Other resinous woods can give off an acrid taste to the food grilling the vicinity. No pine other needle woods. Oak is fine, Birch is not, due to resin. Beech is. Most petrol stations sell sacks of hardwood logs for the fire. Use them and you'd be okay.
Happy camping.
