What is the diameter across the bottom of this pot? I need to know if it is too wide to sit on a wood stove ledge that is 7-1/4"

I just measured it, and it is around 7-3/4", so I think it might hang over the edge. My stove ledge is around 9". You may need to choose a slightly smaller model. Despite the fact that the inside of this pot does rust, it serves the purpose I bought it for by putting a little moisture into the air. I would recommend this brand, if they have a smaller version for you.

The skirt is adjustable in diameter, over ~3" in circumference, to fit the pot being used. Any pot within the diameter limits of this, will work equally well. Vertical pot wall, not tapered, are far better - so a Dutch Oven or stewpot is a clumsy (at best) use of the skirt. OTOH the skirt is probably not needed for a tapered-wall pot.

The burner measures the 7.5 inches,the base is between 8 to 9" expanded, I don't have mine with me right now to measure exactly,it makes it plenty sturdy and stable,I put a 10" pot full of water on mine with no problems.I hope this helps you.Thanks Randy

Mine is also just short of 4 1/2" deep and 7 1/2" diameter. I use it every day, including to cook rice -- just add a bit more water or take 5 minutes off the cooking time.

The diameter of the bottom is 7 2/16". Just in case you end up needing this information, the diameter of the top is 8 5/16".

The base is 7". Add another 1 1/4 inches for the handle that sticks out about an inch up from the bottom if that is also a problem for you. When I lived in a small apartment I used to put wooden chopping boards on the bedroom dresser and connect crockpots there.

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

Hello, As confirmed with Calphalon the diameter at the bottom of the pot is 10.2 wide. Thanks! Buyhappier

I got the same as Dannette at 8 3/4" for the bottom of the pan that actually touches the stove. The top opening is much bigger, of course, as the sides curve out. It's one of my favorites pans, Paula. I highly recommend it!

The flat surface of the bottom that would sit on the burner is 7 inches. The bottom on the inside of the pan is 7 1/4 inches. The height measuring on the outside is 2 inches and on the inside is 1 1/2 inches. The interior is very rounded where it slopes up to the sides, so it's a little difficult to measure exactly and would be very forgiving for, say, pancakes. Enjoy! It's easily the best pan I've had in my 70 years.

Yes, there is about 4" in diameter flat bottom. I have a gas stove and it works well and doesn't tip over on the racks.

This is a great kettle, 7" across the bottom. I have had mine 2 years and have it on my woodstove. I bought one for my neighbor and they use theirs daily.

The surface that sits on the burner is 7" and the sloped sides are 2 " high. LOVE this pan!

Once you take out the drip "pan" at the bottom, it measured 7" I hope this helps.

The diameter of the pot is 4-1/4 inches, the bottom flat diameter that sets on a surface is 4-1/8 inches.

The diameter measures 7 1/2 inches. It's flat and solid with a rough non slippery surface so your pot or pan doesn't slide around.
