is this stove reuseable after the fuel burns? Or do you need a new stove each time? If reusable, how many uses is it good for?

Yes, all you need to do is buy refill fuel discs, but make sure you place it on a non-flammable surface like stone

It's reusable. Each fuel burns 4-6hrs. I did a lot of research and that's what it says and if you don't use all of it, you can blow it out and reuse later. That's why I bought this stove in a can. Loved the idea. All the others only burn 2hrs, but this one burns 4-6! AND it's reusable!

No problems with using this pot on a gas stove. That is exactly how I do it. It's usually a low flame. Yes, we did season it before the first use. I can't remember how. We googled instructions and it worked perfectly. We really love our Tagine Pot - it's also a topic of conversation when we use it with guests.

The burner itself will rust. Just looked at mine, it's been outside unused for 2 years. I suppose you could cover it or oil it if you are not going to use it for a while.

They are reusable as long as you thouroughly clean the cooking surface after each use. I use mine until the surface closest to the heat source is so charred I consider it too thin.

I'm guessing you're asking how long a canister will last? It depends, of course, on how high you keep your flame. I found that it EATS gas if I try to heat a normal weight spaghetti pot full of water. I now make sure that I heat water such as that in a camping (light weight) pot. With "regular cooking", a canister will last me between two and three weeks at home. Some nights I don't use it at all. Other nights I use it for between a half hour and an hour. One canister definitely lasts me through a three-day camping trip (but I always bring an extra one in reserve). Note that you can't use a wide pot or fry pan on most of the portable stoves. That's because it would overhang the canister and overheat it. You can imagine the result.

I just got done using this stove for weekend of camping (3 days of use) and used about half of a 1 pound tank. I cooked 5 meals with both burners and then heated water for cleaning.

You can put it on the stove across two burners to cook on or use it on your barbecue grill. It's a lot easier to clean than the barbecue grill would be without it.

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.

The time the fuel will last will depend on the heat of the flame. As I mentioned before I have a bad experienced with these stoves on low. I go though about a can over 5 hours of using the stove.

You can use it as little or as much as needed. I don't change the pad each time, in fact, I've changed butane before I've changed the pad.

I agree with Terry. Of course there are was to save fuel like not lighting until the pan of water is filled and ready to heat. Shut stove off and not keep boiling water just to boil it. THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE you cook for will decide how long your fuel will last. You should also understand that the high BTU output of this stove will use more fuel but you will not be heating as long and it never come to a boil. So fuel burn could be less with wise management.

Not really. I have occasionally been able to reuse one if it doesn't get too burned. However, once it's been cooked on, it doesn't seem good to cook on that side again and the other side is usually pretty black.

The fuel is so inexpensive to buy locally, it's cheaper to buy it separately than pay the cost to ship the fuel, even as part of a deal (due to the volatility of the fuel). You can use any brand fuel. It does not have to be the same brand as the stove. Finally, you will have to regularly buy more fuel anyway, so a package deal would not be a long term benefit, like if you were buying two long-durability items.

I reuse it once or twice depending on type of food I fried. I run it thru a strainer and refrigerate it. It's a nice little fryer for everyday use. If I was cooking for more than 2 people, it would be small. It's hard to keep things hot when frying multiple batches.

I never thought to check. I can tell you that I use mine at least 4 or 5 times a week, sometimes twice a day and it looks and functions as good as new after a good 8 months use. I don't have a clue how I cooked without it.

I don't own a stove so I use it for everything. It works very well for cooking anything that you would otherwise cook on a stove top. It heats up very quickly and is very easy to clean up. It also heats much more evenly than a stove top burner which has a tendency to burn on the bottom.

Ugh. What a question to ask about a WOOD BURNING stove. Humanity is doomed.
