Do you have to use the alcohol burner? Is it possible to place it directly over gas stove?

I don't think so. The setting of it won't allow you to place it on the stove directly.

I don't know the answer, however, the aroma from the burner makes me question the same thing. If you do purchase the burner, use it in a well ventilated space. Perhaps propane, or as you're asking "gas stove" might work. The flame is very small and the unit may not do well on a gas stove. Must be watched. Hope this helps.

I'm using a different butane burner, which has a small flame directly under the glass. Your gas stove may melt the handle.

I don't use the alcohol burner, I use a small butane one I purchased separately. A has stove won't work because the distance from the flame to the bulb is to great and you'll also end up heating up the base and handle in the process. For use over a gas stove something like the Bodum siphon would work better.

Not possible to use it over gas stove. would be too hot for the frame and most likely melt the plastic handle on the base.

No you cannot put it above gas stove. However you can buy a small gas burner that's the same size as the alcohol burner for use. That's what I end up using.

Yes, it can be used over a burner on a gas or electric stove. I've used it and it works really well.

My travel trailer's stove has gas burners. The cover sits right on top of the grate covering the burners.

I would guess I could pre-fill my hobo alcohol stove and drop it in, light with a long match,twig or a spark from a ferro rod,using the stove as a pot stand and windbreak concentrating the heat. I'd be careful not to get burned. Now I'll have to try it.

Maybe, if your fireplace opening it large enough to allow the unit to be placed inside. If you do this however, it will not be as efficient as if it is freestanding. IE less heat in the room. I recommend simply buying a new gas fireplace insert not a stove.

I have a gas stove and there is not a problem! The pot covers the burner and the handle is not in direct line of heat source. Also you will be cranking the handle while its over the flame. Mine works great nothing has fallen apart!!

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.

It's a glass container so if you put it on an electric element it will break -- should be OK on a gas stove. For electric, put a triangle of wire (like coat-hanger wire) on the burner first, then the container on top of that. At least that's how I used to do it; don't bother now, just drink my coffee faster!

Yes. You can put this directly over the campfire or on a pocket rocket stove.

I would place it directly on the oven rack, but never directly on a burner. Pyrex makes great baking dish, you should be very pleased with its performance.

The stand does fit in the stove and that is how it is designed. I have heard of people actually burning twigs and sticks in the stove rather than using the solid heat tabs. I put the alcohol burner inside of the solid fuel stand and use it that way in the stove. It raises the alcohol burner up closer to the pans. It's a great setup and I use mine probably three or four times a month to cook lunch at work, and it's always in my car just in case I need it.

Yes, you can. I use gas primarily at home, but I have taken it to friends' homes to use on electric. Usually, you will have it going front to back on the stove. On most stoves, this means a higher and a lesser power burner. You will want to take note of how the heat is coming through. For example, I may have my higher heat (larger) burner on medium, and then the lower heat (smaller) burner closer to medium high. That seems to keep the heat even over the whole skillet. The gas burner has not damaged my piece, and I have had it for close to 10 years. It is a great piece, and I hope you enjoy it! Yes, you can.

If I didn't want to use the stove top burner does that have to assembled? Can I leave that off?

no .. i didnt buy the product .. it was too large for my oven .. i bought a SCANPAN large lasagne 'pan' instead, which is a truly excellent 'low-sided' [about 2"-2.5" high] roaster which can also be used on the stove top over eg gas burners, though it does cost a lot .. but it has been worth it

We have a gas stove and it works fine just remwmber dont go over medium heat with it. Hubby does not like it, he says it is too small but i like it and the size is fine for me! :) He had his heart set on a cast iron one I think is why he did not like it.

Yes. This can be used over gas burners. The backing is rubber, which makes it non-skid, so you need to make sure the burners are cool before you place the board on the cooktop.

It seems you could put it anywhere you wanted but if u place it on a cooktop and accidentally turn on the burner underneath it you will damage this expensive appliance.Seems risky. I would love to place mine on my gas cooktop so it is under my ventilating hood. I wondered if a fireproof heatproof board could be placed over the cooktop to protect this device in the event one of my gas burners was inadvertently turned on.
