Can I use a large pot on this stove?

Well the instructions state: Do not use a pan larger than 10.5" as this will cover the fuel compartment and cause the canister to overheat.

Yes, I have used a large pot to make stew on this along with a 6" skillet and a 12" skillet. I had no problems with it holding my pots and pans.

Yes You can use a large pot. The flames are full and will hug around the bottom like a regular stove aisle.

Yes, you can! I have used it with high heat, too! It is the best pot I have ever had.

I've used mine with an alcohol stove (search YouTube for "Capillary Hoop Stove"). This pot reduced my boiling times by 1/3.

I would say that you could. The top fits perfectly flat on the pot. That's a great idea that they could have incorporated before hand. Good luck.

This pot is not intended for stove top use. You are supposed to boil the water in sonething else then pour it into this pot to make your tea.

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be, in theory. But if I were you, I would measure the diameter of the largest burner to see if it's wide enough to accommodate the pot, and make sure you have enough clearance above the burner to allow for the height of the pot. I couldn't use it on my stove because it was not short enough to fit under the hood. Even if it did fit under the hood, you'd have to make sure you could get it out without tilting it significantly, because you could spill the contents of the pot while you're removing it from the stovetop.

Absolutely ! It is usually a 6-8 qt La Creuset or Staub enameled cast iron pot that I am using. No problem at all !

i dont see why not, i have a normal stove and it does great. If you can boil water in a metal pan on your stove, i'd guess you can do the same thing with this:)

I'm curious about this as well, if the distance from the bottom will be too great or what. Perhaps one could use an alcohol stove with some wire to hold it up closer to the pot?

It would be too big for the average burner/stove. I use mine on an outdoor propane burner. Takes a while to heat. Very large pot

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

Interesting, Like Glenn, I have two that I use to brew beer with, and I love them. These stock pots are HEAVY DUTY. When they stated it's "Professional Duty" they meant it. I use them outside on turkey fryer burners and they're huge. This is not something most people would stick on their stove top. Look closely at the dimensions, it's close to 20 inches tall and 20 inches in diameter. I would assume you're preparing multiple chickens at once? I bet you could fit two turkeys in there without much effort. If it fits your space, it's an incredible stock pot!

If you have an enormous fireplace...otherwise there us no physical limitation preventing its use except the quality of the chain used to hold the pot....

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
