Has anyone used this over a propane stove? If so how long did it take to percolate?

Because it is a large pot it takes maybe an extra few minutes to get the water boiling but besides that it works just great. That is the type of stove I use it on.

We use this percolator only on propane stoves. It will take about 15 minutes to get water boiling, then another 10mins. to percolate. Great coffee!

Do not suggest you use it over the grill as heat source is greater than a burner - and remember there are plastic parts on this you don't want to expose to heat beyond the burner. We have a thermal carafe and pour the just-brewed pot into it and then brew again so we have an endless flow of hot coffee for around the morning campfire!

I use propane also. There was a decent coating of soot built up after seasoning the cooker. One run with no oil and one with a good coating of high temperature cooking spray. This is normal for all the grills and smokers I have ever used.

Yes, I see no problem with using the Propane Fuel.I use an Electric Stove and it works GREAT...no problems.

I use it over charcoal, Plus cook over hot bed of glowing Mulberry wood coals using my Horizon Smoker. I say yes. Enjoy!

You can't really boil water in a pan over the grill grates. I tried it took way too long and waste of propane, especially when using small green bottles. Direct flames heat the pot faster.

Oh, it takes a little longer than a drip coffee maker, so about 10 minutes/full pot. It comes out like stovetop perc, but no grains!

It works fine with extender hoses made for the purpose. They don't have a regulator but rely on the regulator assembly that comes with the stove. The stove end of the hose simulates the top of a 1# propane tank. The tank end screws onto the tank connector. Another variation connects to a propane tree which connects to the tank. Totally easy, totally safe, designed for that purpose.A 20# tank is not convenient to lug around but lasts a lot longer if you don't have to move it around. There are intermediate size tanks that are a compromise between capacity and weight.

I have used it on the outside stove both ways. It is more steady if you put it over just 1 burner.

I'm installing mine in a vintage camper which has hood above it that vents outside. That said, the source the propane tank should be either outside or in a sealed compartment vented to the outdoors. The only propane connection should be at the stove itself all the other connections (regulator, solenoid, etc) should be made in the enclosure or outside.

I would use a flame difuser with this product for use on a gas stove. While this tagine withstands temperature variations across the thickness and surface area being heated, even ceramic can fail if the heat source concentrates over a relatively small cross section, especially at the start of the heating cycle.

I have been using a turkey frier propane burner with this brew kettle without any issues. Although I have only been using about 7 gallons so far. I would imagine with more water you just may need to wait longer for the boil. The biggest thing I noticed is with the large diameter of the pot there is a greater surface area of the wort exposed so I had a lot more evaporation of water in the process.

Works fine on a glass top stove (which is what I have). The instructions included with the pot say just don't shake or move around the pot while cooking (for any stove kind, not just glass), and also not to preheat the burner before cooking like another person suggested. You're supposed to start with a cold burner, put the oil/popcorn seeds in, put the pot on the burner/turn burner on, and slowly turn the handle from start to finish. Takes about 2-3 minutes, is fun, and super easy to wipe clean after the pot cools.

Nancy, I turn my electric stove all the way to *high* with this burner...it's cast iron, so, there are no worries. You have to be concerned with your percolator....is it glass? Then I would only go up to medium. I use vintage Pyrex flameware saucepans to cook with and they are glass....but they are a thick borosilicate glass and can withstand high temps. I also use a glass teapot, also Pyrex flameware, and put it on high to boil water....no problems.I have two of these burners and although the one side that was coated is all chipped off now, they work perfectly and appear that they will last for my lifetime.

I have a 6 cup Stainless Coffee Percolator. http://snowpeak.com/products/stainless-coffee-percolator-pr-006?variant=671147229 Does this burner take a long time to boil water in something like this Snow Peak coffee percolator and what heat setting should be used?

We used ours with our Coleman single burner, didn't have any problems with the coating coming off at all on our entire trip and must have been used at least 8-10 times. Perhaps we didn't have the heat up as high as the other people? But we did heat all our food through and made coffee (we forgot the kettle!) and heated beans - we certainly didn't want any of the things we heated to be anywhere near 300 degrees though. We also put one of the pans over an actual firepit fire on a cooking grill thing with fold out legs - worked great on that too. All I can say is we're still using ours and it looks fine to me.

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!!
