How big a pot can I use on this stove to boil water? Will it hold an 18fl oz pot?

Yes. I use both the Stanely 24 oz. Stainless steel cook set, plus the GSI 18 oz cup and they both work great! You do need the cross supports, though, or both cups won't set well. It's a good buy. Very quick to boil 24 oz. of water. Hope this helps.

Can you give me the dimensions of the pot? I have been able to use a good size pot because the construction of the stove is that strong and has a good wide flame. I am almost sure you can.

Yes, it has cross bars that you can add across the top for support. It should easily hold that size pot. I used an 8 cup purculator on it and it heated the water in about 8 min.

The top of the Emberlit is approx. 5 inches across which sounds small but it can actually support quite a lot of weight as well as hold normal sized kitchen cookware. Granted, I wouldn't try to flash fry a buffalo on it , but an 18 oz pot would pose no problems for you because it comes with the potstand supports.

This stove is very strong. One review actually had a guy standing on it and it didn't fail. Should be no problem doing an 18 oz. pot.

The stove is extremely sturdy with the cross members in place on top. As long a you have the weight distributed evenly I would say your options are pretty open as to the pot or pan you may use.

Yes! I am pretty sure that this can hold very large, or very heavy pots. It is VERY sturdy. I am confident that cookware size wouldn't be an issue with this awesome stove :)

This little stove is very sturdy. I've used an 14 or 16" cast iron fry pan.

I purchased it and love it. I use it on my "induction stovetop" but a "burner" I am not sure. It WILL work but make sure it fits on the burner. It is a big pot. Check the circumference.

Depends on your stove type. For a gas or raised electric stove, a three to five gallon pot gives you enough room to boil without overflow. If you have an electric stove with a flush surface, as I do, you can get by with a smaller pot by making multiple smaller batches or super concentrated wort after boiling, since larger capacity pots have a diameter significantly larger than the burner

I used a smaller kitchen pot it worked fine. Just be aware it may ruin the bottom by leaving black streaks from the flame.

I haven't actually put a 15 gallon pot on the unit. But assuming a diameter of approximately 15 inches, yes it should take the weight just fine. If the bottom is the thin gauge them at high setting it should be used only for boiling water because it will scorch anything else it's on the bottom. It's that powerful.

The bottom of the pots are 5", 6-1/2", 8-1/4" & 8-1/2". The largest pot (dutch oven) is bigger but I don't have it handy to measure. I hadn't heard the pot had to match the size of the burner. I'll have to check that out as I bought an induction hot plate so only have one size burner.

I contacted Farberware about product 70755 and here is their answer: "Yes we manufacture are stainless steel to be 18/0 so it can be induction stovetop suitable."

My pot is OD 18.5" and it has lots of space. You shouldn't base your next pot size on the beers you'll be making and not the size of the chiller though ;) I highly recommend 9+ gal pots for full-boil 5 gal batches. Cheers!

An inch is good for boiling water. For cooking about four inches helps to control the heat better. This is an awesome stove. You will love it.

The description states that it hold two quarts. I havn't used mine yet, but it is a large pot.

Best I can tell you is that each pot holds 80 ounces of liquid. Your 16 ounce jar should fit depending on the height of the jar. The dimensions of the unit as listed in the ad are 7.1 inches x 25.6 inches x 11.8 inches. The crocks therefore are less than 11.8 inches. Measure the height of your jar and you should have a pretty good idea if it will fit.

It is 3 3/8" in diameter, so it will fit any pot larger than that. Noisy though - not just when the pot is boiling - for a couple of minutes leading up to the actual boil it clatters and makes a racket as bubbles form under it and then lift it slightly before escaping.

I do not have an electric coil stove but the Diameter of the pot is 16 inches. If you have an electric coil stove I would use a tape measure to determine how 16 inches would fit on the stove.

Im sorry, but I don't have an answer to that question, I returned the product because it was an accident waiting to happen, there was an almost loose surface to hold the pot on top of the "burner", and with boiling oil inside of it... I don't even want to think about it. Good luck if you buy it.

To safely process your jars you need one and one half to two inches of water above the top of your jars. Plus you need at least one inch of free space above your water to prevent the water from over boiling onto your stove top . This pot will not work for your size of jars because the lids need to be totally submerged in the water at all times. A pot eleven to twelve inches high will work perfect for you. Preferably the twelve inch high one.

Most definitly. The pot I use has a smaller diameter and has no trouble staying on the stove.

For an electric stove, I'd use the burner grid that is sold for Chemex, which would keep it from direct contact with the burner.Chemex Stainless Steel Wire Grid for Use on Electric Stove, 6.5 InchI would definitely -not- use this for boiling water (as was originally asked in this question); it's not a teakettle. But it does just fine on a low heat for many hours, and is "heat-proof" so clearly made to withstand such use.
