Are you able to put this on the burner or is it just for looks?

OMG you NEVER put porcelain on the burner!! Proper method is to boil good water and then pour around a half cup of hot water into the pot to warm it and clear any debris. Then measure around 1 tsp of bulk tea for each 6 oz tea cup - in this case for a 6 cup pot - around two table spoons or one oz. Then pot fill with boiling water, stir briefly once to get it started, and steep for at least ten minutes. Use a "tea cozy" to keep the pot warm at the table, and a tea sieve to strain out bits of tea leaf when pouring into cups. This pot is a "fancy" and not intended for everyday use. But at a mini "high tea" though, the grand kids love it. It also works with a group of friends over to play cards! TIP: with good teas you can get at least one, maybe two, extra good pots using same tea leaves! just refill w/boiling water.

It is stamped on the bottom "hand wash only" and does not have an indication that it is oven-safe. The porcelain/china is relatively thin, so I would assume it would not do well on a burner without a heat diffuser and on a lower temperature. Despite the hysterics of one answerer, I do not think it is an unreasonable question. I have not used this teapot (because of its oval shape), but have used many porcelain/thinner ceramic teapots on my charcoal-burning samovar and they do get some heat and flames from the bottom. Other than brown discoloration on the bottom, they have done well -- Except I did crack a very beautiful and very large fancy teapot when I accidentally put it on the samovar dry :( It is stamped on the bottom "hand wash only" and does not have an indication that it is oven-safe.

I've always steeped my tea in my porcelain or china pots then poured from the pot to the cups but I've never thought of putting them on the burner. I fill the porcelain w/hot water while I boil water in the tea kettle, then dump the teapot prior to filling w/the boiled water. I would not recommend putting the fine glass directly on a burner. It makes a beautiful and delicious pot of tea.

It's not meant to go on the burner. You can pour boiling water into it but it's to be used as a teapot on the table, not for heating.

This is a tea pot, not a tea kettle. You use a kettle to heat the water and then follow the directions indicated by others on how to make a pot of tea.

It was a gift for my neice. I do know that she adds boiling waste and let's the tea steep. Sorry, I don't know if she has used a stove unit on it.

Honestly, it is only used for show. I would NOT, however, put it directly on a burner. I would put the hot liquid into it and maybe put it onto a warming plate only. -- never on a stove gas burner or hot electric coil. Hope this helps.

I gave it as a gift but it is made to put hot tea in and no porcelain should not be "put" on a burner. It's not for cooking.. You might be thinking of the old porcelain coated pots like my grandfather put on his stove top.

There should be everything you see in the picture. What you can't see is a copper rod used to help hold up the burner. The rod slides through holes on either side of the metal part that holds the burner. You also can't see the burner or the grill grate. Anything else?

No we just put it on the burner. We love it. We have a gas stove. No more hot spots. Very even heat.

You can do as you like , but it is a scale model. They didn't design it to burn anything, and the surfaces that you may choose for the wax melting are very porous and wouldn't clean well. Glass and ceramic candle holders are smooth to aid the owner in keeping the item clean, this stove surface is VERY porous, it will never clean wax well or at all. Burning and cleaning were never part of this items design, proceed at your own risk.

You could. But you would have to stay away from the burners and any surface that is exposed to excessive heat.

If you found one that is the exact size, as it needs to "nest" on the burner, also would need to accept direct heat.

Yes. There's no non stick coating. As long as it will fit on your burner....you're all gravy.

Yes; I do on the smallest burner. It's a great product... you won't be disappointed!

Manual says not to place near or on gas or electric burner, in heated oven (microwave, convection, etc.) or any other heated surface. Hope that helps.

I believe that you could, as the basin the burner fits inside is fillable, though you may like to check with mfr for any possible concerns about high heat retention or other feedback they may have, as I did not try this personally so can't speak to it from experience. Wish you well and an excellent 4th :)

yes theres a spot for another burner--as far as the wires inside the case I don't know---I never had the front off---I never seen one that didnt

It is totally possible. I'd suggest getting some kind of tray if your burner doesn't have any. (Mine did.) You'll need to pile it up fairly high if you want the gas to be dispersed through it. Two bags, I'd say. And you should be aware, this stuff is like broken bits of safety glass. If you want a "pretty" effect, I'd spend more money and get the polished kind of fire-glass.

yes you can but you have to be care full you don't turn on the wrong burner . What I do to be safe I take mines all off before any top goes on I also have a glass top stove and I use my covers for the top.

I don't know for sure, but I wouldn't. I guess you could try cutting it to fit for one burner and see what happens.

Yes, that's how I use it with no problem. Just don't put the flame too high and have the it slightly off to the side of the burner grate so the handle doesn't get hot.

Yes, you can put the burner on a low heat. The beauty of this burner is the 14 inch heating area of the burner providing an even heating surfactant.
