Can we keep this directly on a burning flame

Yes it can be brewed directly on a burning flame. I wouldn't keep it on an open flame for any length of time just to keep the coffee warm, though. Check the bottom of the pot frequently when it is empty. Mine started to rust & I don't know if it is safe to use with rust showing through. You may have to shine a light on the inside to check for the rust. This was the 2nd Paula Deen pot for me that rusted.

You could. The flame is about 10 inches above the surface. There is no wind protection for this unit so the slightest breeze makes the flame flutter. Some people put something around the flame if there is wind to keep it from blowing out. I wouldn't do something like that on a wood deck but other than that there shouldn't be an issue with the flame and the wood. Be careful of boil overs.

No, we would only season a cooking grate. You could rub cooking oil into the burner to keep it from drying out.

It's not recommended that it be put somewhere that won't allow heat to escape. It does produce a small amount of heat. I don't think it would start a fire, but it's life would probably be shortened. I personally wouldn't do it.

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.

You would have to leave it there a while for it to burn. If you just touch it, you'll be ok.

While I am sure it would work without burning anything below the burner, you would be insane to have this anywhere but the ground. There is a reason those safety guidelines exist. Because some moron some time sat this thing on an unstable table or bench or something and burned themselves. Then probably sued the company because there wasn't a little line in the manual saying that you shouldn't do stupid stuff with fire. Twit.

I haven't used it that way but it reflects flames quite brightly so I would say yes to your question.

Having used the pan, I would recommend that you cook as far from the direct flame as possible. Because of that, I would say to use a high heat setting. The pan does heat evenly so it might actually work.

This item cannot be placed directly over a stove-top flame. It could be placed in a water filled pot over a stove-top flame as a double boiler, but not directly over the flame.

You can, but it will take longer. It puts them far from the flame. I hope this helps

Nope. Direct flame only. Get a single burner butane burner like an Iwatani and a cast iron heat difuser. Works great, although this one is small for main dishes. la Souk makes larger ones that are very nice and very reasonably priced. Produces very good roasted meats (chicken/lamb) with little effort.

The manual says not to put it directly on a burner... Then again it is cast-iron and indirect heat should be fine, the company even sells an iron stand for use with tea-lights, so I would think it depends on how hot you have the stove going

You can, but burning it is not recommended due to issues with burning it safely. Use regular ethyl alcohol/ HEET when possible

Yes it will protect from direct flames, but the container will probably not offer great heat resistance. I would not expect it to protect photographs for very long if fire is directly on it.

I think an open flame might destroy the vessel, and certainly its brushed stainless steel finish. It's insulated, in any case, which would probably make direct heating unsatisfactory.
