Is this safe to keep on a gas wood burning stove to disburse moisture in our dry Colorado climate?

The directions say not to leave anything in the pot for an extended period of time. It's metal, so I'm not sure why you couldn't leave water in it for what you're wanting to do.

Yes. I make tea in but I usually reheat the tea by placing the pot on the stove and it's fine.

Only at a very low heat/small flame. Beware though, the knob for the lid is crooked upon delivery. (I ordered two and they both were deformed. )

I've been using it on an electric stove for more than 3 months and its still working well. The only word of caution is the handle. Constant washing of the wooden handle can make it wobbly. I recommend using a damp cloth to wipe the handle.

Hi Kathy, to be honest I have not used the stove yet, since we had a relatively mild winter until now. (I'm in Mexico)My idea however is to fire the stove with gas (LPG), since we have not much wood around where I'm living. Sorry for not being able to help you more.

I suppose if you have an electrical source coming from behind the cabinet to feed the unit. But if you leave it on all the time like I do, I would take a chance of the heat drying out and cracking the wood. Or worse being a fire risk.

Don't know. I cook on gas. Sounds like a question for the stove manufacturer.

I use mine primarily with an alcohol stove but I do not see any reason why you could not use it on the fire.

Not a good idea; not even safe unless cooking oil directly on the stove burner sounds like fun to you. I also do not think direct contact with a heating element or gas flame is a good idea; the wire mesh is a fairly fine gauge and it likely to get hotter than you want.

Sounds like a good idea...? Using it dry may tend to generate a lot of heat and tear it up.

The unit is meant for forced air heating so it is not suitable for radiating heat like a wooden stove, unless it is equipped with a fan. It will however cause severe mold if not kept at the right humidity.

Yes. You could be risking moisture on electrical components. Temperature controlled environment would be a better way to go.

This really puts a lot of moisture in the air! We have about 1000 sq. ft, and I have it on the lowest setting. I don't know about the wood stove part; we have radiator heat. Good Luck!

This is only a guess but no to use this stove you need ventilation........ I would never use it inside. (Unless possibly you set it inside a fire place)

We have a wood stove (it's going right now, today morning it was quite cold here in NM) and this humidifier works just great. I moistened the filter as recommended in their booklet, filled up the tanks, plugged it in and set it to the highest setting. We have a 1500 sq. ft home and the humidity was always 19% in the house. Since we turned the unit on about an hour ago it went up to 32%. We'll wait until it reaches about 45% and that's where we will set it permanently. As I said, it works like a charm in a home that is heated with a wood stove. If you'll decide to get one you won't regret it.

I am using natural gas for my fuel source. Natural gas burns almost 99.9% pure. I had the same concerns you did but when I did the research I found that there is little to no risk if installed properly. As far as the moisture is concerned, it only acts as a benefit. When you use a fuel-burning source in the winter the moisture will naturally humidify your house. We have never had a problem with excess water at all. I would recommend getting a digital carbon monoxide tester. Dangerous levels are around 99 ppm my system has never registered anything over zero. I am very pleased with this product!

Yes, if you use a wood stove like we do as a main source of heat it dries out the air.

I have only used this over a high heat outdoor cooking fire, there should not be any issues on a gas stove.As others mention, proper care is the key to cast iron cookware.

This stove gives of carbon monoxide when in use and should not be used indoors at all. Due to its odorless nature, you will not be able to tell if your ventilation is adequate or not. Therefore, this product should only be used outdoors.
