can this be used in a camp fire?

Yes. Steel will handle the Temp. without reaching critical temp. I would not recommend using a scouring pad on the ceramic coating as this may damage it. Degreaser and stiff, nonmetallic bristles are best.

We use it to boil water and make gravy when camping. We usually place it on a rock beside the fire. The handle and lid can get hot so we use a stick to lift the pot and the lid. I have not been able to find these pots in any store for a long time so I bought this pot to use with the larger 3.5 qt pot.

It certainly gets hot since it contains fire, but it's not designed to radiate heat. You can put your hands above it or very near to it and I'm sure you'd get some heat. But it's not going to warm an area. You're better off building a campfire.

Only if you have a non electric stove, such as gas. This product can also be used on a camp fire, charcoal, or propane stove.

no, part of the steel portion has plastic embedded it. you should get something specifically designed for a camp fire.

I believe BSA does not allow open flames in tent... http://councilspd.scouting.org/scoutsource/HealthandSafety/GSS/gss07.aspx

Absolutely. Unless the area you're camping in explicitly prohibits fires of any kind, but most places that prohibit campfires allow stoves. Have never personally had a problem using it in VA, MD or PA

It's pretty heavy and would get very hot; but if you have something safe to hold it up over a campfire, it should work just fine. It's made out of heavy-duty cast iron, already seasoned and ready to be used. I would recommend using a lodge item that has a handle though.

I use mine primarily with an alcohol stove but I do not see any reason why you could not use it on the fire.

I can't see why not, it's essentially a large metal pot for burning so I suspect that any material you could set flame to would burn just fine.

I personally would never use it for camping or backing packing. The item is intended for use with lapidary, casting, and other environments where you need a continuous low temp flame. It will leak if you were to try and travel with it full of fuel. I suppose you could use it as an emergency lamp in your home and it would serve well for that.

The only way we have used it is over a camp fire (above the coals) just be sure to have plenty of liquid to keep it from boiling dry.....to keep it from dis-coloring apply a thin coat of dish soap on the outside...that works great to keep it looking new

No, for safety reasons. It has been a long time since I've gone camping and my concern arises purely from a safety point of view. Sure it will work but the distance it can heat is not very far...maybe 3 feet at most. Even then, I have not tried it so I can't really contribute much to help you. Sorry.

I haven't used it on a Grill but it works fine on my electric stove. I believe it would do just as well over a fire. I would definitely use it over a campfire. After all, it's cast iron, isn't it?

Probably, yes. It is Ike a small cast iron skillet with a 2 foot handle. You can put it on any normal heat source. But on a stove it would not be very practical with the long handle. And to me part of the fun is using it with a camp fire.

I think so....ours got a little hole in it from some ashes - so try to keep it far from the firepit when having a fire - otherwise, this is a very durable product!

Not on a camp stove. When at the edge of the coals of a larger fire the handles do get hot though. Use a few layers of heavy duty aluminum foil for a lid, it works great.

Not for sure if you can but I would think you could. We get flames ever once in a while and it doesn't seem to hurt it at all.
