Can this put out a gentle heat to cook a chilli or gumbo? I want the large heat area for large pots in the field.

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.

yes just turn the gas down. you control the heat. I bought this for my dad. best burner ever

Absolutely! The griddle does a great job of distributing heat evenly over its surface. It's thick enough so that I have not had any trouble with hot spots.

I tried and it does not get hot enough. As for heating, it throws a lot of heat.

This pot is amazing...I absolutely love it!!! I have cooked things on high heat without any problems. I'm not sure how much higher the heat would be on a commercial range though, but I do think that it could handle it!

It would be too big for the average burner/stove. I use mine on an outdoor propane burner. Takes a while to heat. Very large pot

I don't think it would work very well for a big heavy pot. The grill is heavy duty but is large and extends out far from the one post you stick in the ground. I think you would have to prop up the other side of the grill with anther stake or pile of rocks.

It gets hot but not hot enough to burn. I do not think it would be a good idea to be trying to move a pot of hot oil around even if the outside of the pot is cool.

The question is, how wide is the pot? You can cook anything you want on it, but if its wider it takes longer to heat up. Its ceramic so even if it doesn't fit its safe. If you want me to give you the diameter of the heating surface, then ask another question

I haven't used it on really high heat yet. Done a crawlfish boil in it and it was great. Make soups and sauce and it is wonderful. Would buy one again

I do lot's of chilli on the stove top and since the burners are round, I went w/ the round base model. If you're going to do casserole in the oven, perhaps a oval model would work well.

I have use it on my gas range with no problem. This pot heats evenly and quickly. I use it for Soups and Gravies... Hope this helps.

I think so....it heats evenly, the sides can get hot, but if keep at a low temp with frequent stirring. Works great for soups, sauces I have made. Good Luck!

You can use this on an open fire. Controlling the heat is important if you want the food to taste good more than to protect your pot.

Yes! The outside becomes very hot to the touch. If you are sensitive to the heat you do not want this dehydrator...now we only tried beef jerky in it. We also had problems with both of them shutting off mid-cycle and never coming back on again. You might want to try another brand.

No problem if you have a pot that is big enough for 3 gallons. I have a large stainless steel pot and have cooked lots of soups and stews for large groups. The pot can set on the whole top of the unit (black area on this picture). Hope this helps.

I have used it with high heat on an electric range with on problems so far yes. I returned a cuisinart pot of similar cost that warped on the bottom after one use for this pot.

As long as it is outside over a controlled burner (not a campfire), and the temperatures are not extremely cold (such below 0), there's no reason this pot wouldn't hold up. We use ours on a huge 6 burner gas stove and fill it nearly to the brim with soup. Handles and everything have held up great.
