Would this work on the top of a wood burning stove?

I answered YES because I don't think anything would happen to the diffuser. However, I actually would not recommend the diffuser to be used on a wood burning stove because it has something like a crown with convoluted edge around its bottom part. This convolution helps to anchor the diffuser on the stove. If your stove is flat, than the diffuser would sit lose on your stove and that might be a safety issue. In addition, you would lose a lot of heat between the top of your stove and the bottom of the diffuser. And what more, the pot bottom does not sit directly on the plate but on its star-like protrusions so there is a little gap between the pot bottom and the diffuser itself. Even if your stove has some kind of a griddle which would allow the diffuser to anchor, I still would think that there would be a lot of heat lost because the wood burning stove does not usually have an open fire that could come into direct contact with the diffuser. Consequently, I would expect a lot of heat loss anyway.

I'm sure you can, even though I don't have a glass cooktop. It should work just as well as it does on my electric burners. Make sure you don't turn the heat up too high, though.

It was a gift for my son. He says to fill it remove the top. It does get hot but not too hot on his stove. He has a gas stove. It would probably get pretty hot on a wood stove. Just use a pot holder. He loves his and has used it several years now.

Yes. There are several videos on YouTube showing this stove used for wood fires.

I used it on a gas stove; I think it should work fine on any heating surface. I has a wide base and is flat, as I recall.

I would only do that if you have a gas stove. I have an electric stove and there is no way I would put it on top of the burners until they are cool. The wood doesn't actually touch the burners on my stove but it's too close for comfort in my opinion.

It should work on electic stove top. Can't really answer the second question as it depends on amount of food you cook. It is a decent size though.

Yes, absolutely ! I've been using it on an electric stove top with coil and it works fantastic. Set it to "high".

I use mine on a ceramic cooktop on the largest heat surface. It works for me, but make sure you have a burner large enough to accommodate the pan's circumference.

Yes. I use mine on a gas stove between 2 burners but it is flat on the bottom.

I don't think wood would be effective to produce a hot enough flame for cooking. these little stoves are designed to use cans of Sterno heat or fuel cubes.

Not sure what kind of stove you have exactly, but we use ours on our cast iron wood burning stove and stick the thermometer right on the top. It read very accurately and helps us keep the fire to non-creosote levels. It's great!

It would not work very well on the stove top. You can place a cookie sheet in the oven to set it on for oven use.

That should be ok if you put something metal or stone under it, a stove board will work. I don't think it would get hot enough to burn the wood underneath, but better to be safe than sorry.

I would think so. We used it on a propane stove and on the grill over a campfire and it worked perfectly. It has a nice heft to it, not as thin as a previous one.

Yes, it will work. I took mine camping and used it on my friend's home made fancy feast alcohol stove. It will work on any stove or over any fire that you can sit it over. Camp and wood fires (like the Solo) happen to leave more soot on it which you might view as difficult to clean because of the heat exchanger bottom but it works just fine.
