can this be used on a woodstove for steaming and drinkingwater to make tea?

I don't see why not. there is a little 'lip'/edge (maybe 1/4 inch or less) on the bottom permiter. I don't think that would be a problem on a flat surface.

I think it would do fine over a small circumference fire (relatively modest base size. The handle should be fine as it is well above the base. And the spout opening is fairly small, so a steady steam stream should be easy.

Yes. It should work fine. We use it over gas flames but a hot plate on top of a stove should be fine.

Not sure, but I wouldn't trust it. Also, it stopped whistling completly a few months ago so it's easy to forget it's in use.

No, I don't believe so. I boil water separately. I would recommend the tea pot for one person only. It's smaller than I expected.

I haven't tried to make tea, the holes are large enough for loose tea to fall into the hot water. You could use it to infuse already brewed tea with flavors. I mostly use it to flavor water with crushed mint.

Not sure. It needs a very hot heat source or it will take a long time to brew. But ass long as the water will boil to perk then it should work.

No, to boil water on the stove you want a tea kettle. A teapot like this is for brewing tea in.

Yes. I actually heat water for tea in an electric tea pot with a temperature gauge. While the water is heating for tea, I fill my stoneware teapot with water and heat it on high in the microwave. It's microwave and dishwasher safe.

It can be used with any heat source. The neat thing about the kettle is that you won't need liquid fuel if you can find leaves, wood pine cones, paper, etc... If you are above the vegitation line then alcholhol burner may make sense

I would not try it. I have never even considered putting the glass carafe from my coffeemaker directly onto a burner. BTW, how the heck would you get the hot water out of the teapot then back into it and through the tea leaves in the strainer without using some other vessel? I use a metal tea KETTLE to heat the water then pour it into the tea pot. I do set the pot on the metal ring that holds a tea-light candle- that and the cozy I made for this pot keep the tea warm for hours...p.s. it is the ring that came with the other, larger teapot I bought here on Amazon.

This is a ceramic pot into which you pour hot water to make tea. It is not a metal pot for boiling the water on a stove of any sort. .

I don't think you can heat this pot. The way to use it, will be to pour in hot water and tea leaves and allow to stand to steep in the tea leaves.

We honestly only use it as a decoration. I wouldn't attempt to heat it on a stove, I think the ceramic is too thin. However, pouring hot water into the teapot should be fine!

I guess you could. There's nothing specifically I can think of that would prevent this from working, but it is definitely outside the parameters by which it was designed. I think if I were going to use it, my primary means would be to use a simple pot to boil water and put the boiling water into it, as it's designed to function. If that is not an option, then I would at least put some type of metal plate between it and the open flame to protect the finish. Obviously, if you don't care about the finish, then just put it directly over the flame.

I use the tea pot to heat water for my single serve drip coffee. I cannot answer your question.

Yes, you just need to make the woodstove hot enough for what you want to cook. A hot campfire is ok, but smoke might become a problem.

It is not recommended, although I'm not sure why. I have other cast iron kettles that I use on top of wood stoves, but they are larger and heavier. I've always used another pot to get the water hot, and transferred into this kettle.

I'm assuming you mean "heat up water using my dutch iron teapot," and the answer is no. The teapot is meant to have water heated up separately and then poured into the pot. If you heat up the pot directly it wil likely cause irreperable damage.

No, you cannot. This is a tea pot. What you put on the stove is called a tea kettle.
