Can this pot be used outside over a burner? I am making beer and wanted to be sure that if necessary, I could use it outside

As long as it is outside over a controlled burner (not a campfire), and the temperatures are not extremely cold (such below 0), there's no reason this pot wouldn't hold up. We use ours on a huge 6 burner gas stove and fill it nearly to the brim with soup. Handles and everything have held up great.

I don't see why not, heavy duty construction should stand up to any burne. Much thicker than pots that come with a turkey fryer. Hope this helps.

Yes, the steel is pretty heavy gauge, and I use it with a bayou classic outdoor propane burner. You can also mod it with a step drill bit i.e. add thermometer, spigot, etc. I would definitely recommend it for brewing.

I just used mine this weekend to brew beer on my Bayou Burner. Works great. Used it to fry turkey over my Bayou Burner for Thanksgiving too.

Honestly not sure about outdoor use its inside at our house. I don't see why not if in protected outdoor area. Well made after 3 yrs of heavy use keeps beer cold &#128077;&#127996;&#128522;

I have only used this pot for brewing beer...but it is made exceptionally well. Very solid bottom, distributes heat well. I boil the wort(beer) for 90 minutes. Hot sauce, broth, stews, etc.. should be fine.

I guess you could. There's nothing specifically I can think of that would prevent this from working, but it is definitely outside the parameters by which it was designed. I think if I were going to use it, my primary means would be to use a simple pot to boil water and put the boiling water into it, as it's designed to function. If that is not an option, then I would at least put some type of metal plate between it and the open flame to protect the finish. Obviously, if you don't care about the finish, then just put it directly over the flame.

I have a gas stove and there is not a problem! The pot covers the burner and the handle is not in direct line of heat source. Also you will be cranking the handle while its over the flame. Mine works great nothing has fallen apart!!

If you mean over a flame, then, no...this is a teapot strictly for steeping. Otherwise, I steep on the middle section of my stove with it resting on a cozy.

Yes. The bottom is very thick - I purchased this type because it resembles an All-Clad stock pot at a fraction of the cost. I brew beer in this and it sits on my burner on high for over 3 hours. No problems.

I would not suggest it, I would keep it on a grill or grate above the direct burning flame... The coffee pot gets very hot even on a stove top... I love mine and use it all the time... love the fact I can take it camping....

For what it's worth, I homebrew with a bayou classic 1046 142 quart pot as a brew kettle (it's significantly heavy when empty). Although I had bricks in place, apparently much of my weight was on the burner. It flexed on me after running high heat for quite some time and roughly 25 gallons of wort in it. The bricks picked up and supported the weight. I now use cinder blocks positioned around it to support the pot and make sure it is up off the burner. Just be careful. If you're worried, get some extra support and set your mind at ease.

It's not meant to go on the burner. You can pour boiling water into it but it's to be used as a teapot on the table, not for heating.

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.

My burner works well at all settings, though I confess it is used more often on high. Against cheaper burners, it simply works better. Are you using outside or in a drafty location?

You can use it outdoor and indoor. Only thing with indoor is the legs make it tricky to put in and out of the oven as well as on the stove but it is possible and does still work. I'm like you though I don't really use mine inside, I use my other pots and pans. I leave this one for outside cooking because it's so heavy and the legs get in the way when cooking inside.

Dear Ryan :) It works best over a clean burning flame such as a backpacking stove/ burner but it can also be used of over a campfire using the correct precautions. Create an elevated platform from a flat stone or , if you have one, a small steel grill. Either way the object would be to position the Terra over a bed of coals or over a stone heated by the fire beneath it. Not over open flames which could render the handle too hot to use and "blacken" the outside which is not the best thing to do if you are packing it around. Know what I mean. The Terra is very durable but not indestructible. Any more questions, feel free to ask.

Pot works great for brewing 20 gallon batches of beer. It is not flimsy. I'd use a sturdy, low stand on account of the scalding danger posed by so much hot liquid. I use a home made stand constructed of heavy rebar.

We have used ours on a grate over a campfire but never directly on a fire. I don't see any reason why you couldn't.

I have found if the pot isn't sitting properly on the burner it will leak while brewing. Like if it is off center and one side of the pot is higher then the other.
