Would it be possible to use a dutch oven, which has a few small pegs or legs on the bottom of it, on this cook stove?

Absolutely. It works great. You put it on the heat diffuser plate. The charcoal goes on the grate underneath

Yes, it really works great. I use a ten and twelve inch Dutch oven with the Volcano.

If it was me, I would look at the trangia triangle stand (or a proper wood burning stove), its roughly the same overall size but the 'floor /plate' does have holes in it better for the fire to breathe... and at the correct height for the flame. Agree with others that its small and no way to feed the fire when the pot on top.

I have not used it in other than my regular oven. It is ceramic and designed for low-moderate heat cooking over a longer period of time. I have used it successfully many times in my oven at a temperature of up to 350 (F) because that's what the recipe called for. I think I would opt for a cast iron Dutch oven for use on a wood stove rather than this ceramic pot. But that is just my opinion.

The modern aluminum Dutch ovens are more often used for stovetop use only. The reason is because aluminum does not hold the heat as well as cast iron. You can still place them in the oven, but you will need to check them more often to make sure your food is cooking to the right consistency.Most dutch ovens are aluminum and though they can cook in an oven they are really made for the stove top. The cast iron utensils work much better in oven and distributing the heat more evenly, resulting in a moister dish and less chance of burning.

You could use something 2 1/2" in diameter if carefully placed on the stove, however, I would say a 3" pot would fit well

Absolutely. We have used several of our cast iron frying pans AND our cast iron dutch ovens.....no problem at all. The stove is super strong and durable.

I don't see why you couldn't. There is nothing on it that could melt. I only use mine for stock and it is the perfect size for that. I really love this piece of cookware. May be a bit thinner than most Dutch ovens so could brown more around the edges.

Don't know why you would want to do that? If it is so that it will sit on the grate of a gas stove or some other grate? When I used it to heat something up - I placed one of those heat reducing grates. They sit about a half inch above the fire and have a lot of small holes to let the heat through, they help to keep items from scorching at the bottom. But to answer your question - Don't see why you couldn't grind down the legs help lower the bottom.

I'm not sure about a dutch oven, but we have a 12 inch cast iron skillet, and the whole set up (with skillet) was very solid. Actually, a dutch oven is probably also okay. It's very stable.

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

From what I've read Lisa it will wok on an induction cook top. It is quite heavy and you will have to resist the urge to drag it instead of lifting it from the surface. Remember though that the base construction of the Lodge Dutch oven is cast iron. Cast iron heats evenly and is excellent for slow and low stove top simmering. However the rule with cast iron is slow to heat, slow to cool. Here is a good article that might help you out. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/07/dining/07induction.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0

I have a gas stove but don't see that you would have a problem. It is a a high quality stainless steel bottom.

i really don't think it will fit in the described dutch oven. the basket will be too close to the side of the oven.

I only have a gas burner but I doubt there would be enough contact with the round shape to heat enough. There are flat bottom woks

The bottom of my Dutch oven seems perfectly flat. It seats solidly on a Thermador electric cook top. I have found it very satisfactory both on the cook top and in the oven.

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

Yes. The heat won't be a issue. Your Coleman camp stove shouldn't be producing much heat from the bottom. If it is getting hot enough to melt surfaces when you cook on it, you may have an issue with your stove that is potentially dangerous. However, it is wobbly. I always bring a 4ft folding table out to the site to act as my cooking surface/prep/storage area.
