Would anyone recommend this for use in a sailboat galley on a propane stovetop, and does the exterior get extremely hot?

Yes, the exterior does get quite hot. Top and sides will evaporate a splash of water in seconds.

I don't see why you couldn't. The exterior does get hot, which is relative to how high the temp is inside the oven.

I find that if I place it on the stove so that the handle is not over the flame it's fine. If I'm not careful about how I place it, it does get too hot. But I really like it. I actually bought a second larger one because I like it so much. :)

I think it would cause the wire grid at the bottom of the stove to overheat and bend. Even using wood as fuel causes some distortion of the grid.

I've used mine on a 2 burner propane stove with no problem. I do stay with it and make sure it doesn't get too hot.

Don't know about heat since mine was outside. Keep an eye on it for air leakage or you'll have a wet floor if inside.

The exterior gets very hot to the touch. Mine is placed on a kitchen counter top and about five inches underneath the wooden cabinets. It operates here and I have no fear of fire.

I used this stove in my garage. Since it's hooked up to a propane tank, it's better off to cook outside or in the garage with proper care.

While I have never measured how long it takes to heat up, we leave ours in the sun all day and then use it in the evening--this works out fine for us. We use it on a sailboat and hang it from the bimini frame but if you are camping I suppose you could just hang it from a branch on a tree. There must be some type of surrounding structure you can hang it from!

If you are talking about a wood stove yes. I would also use a doorway fan, as the heat rises.

definitely safe since the flame is contained in a glass tube starting apprx. 1 ft up from the bottom and only goes up. there is no heat whatsoever below 1 ft from the table. but be aware ; the roof top of the heater is extremely hot. believe me, my wife touched it and burned 3 fingers pretty bad.

I've used mine on a very small portable propane burner and fuel tabs and had no problem with heating and cooking. Just had to watch the heat and make sure to stir because the pans are a little thin and get hot fast. Good set for the price I think.

I would guess I could pre-fill my hobo alcohol stove and drop it in, light with a long match,twig or a spark from a ferro rod,using the stove as a pot stand and windbreak concentrating the heat. I'd be careful not to get burned. Now I'll have to try it.

I do not belive it is safe for Glass Top Ranges -- the bottom is very flat and would build up a lot of heat and would most likely break the glass top. I did place mine on the glass top stove for a short period of time in an emergency situation. I use an outdoor single propane burner unit -- works amazing! This is the type I have: Bayou Classic SP50 Tall High-Pressure Outdoor Gas Cooker -- The presure canner works great on it -- keeps the heat and steam outside and is lower than a stove top which makes it easier to load and unload the canner. If you go this route, make sure you check your propane level before you start!

No the way it is designed there is an airspace between the SS exterior wall and the cooking vessel which is heated from the bottom. The lid will get quite hot but the sides are warm that is normal I think.

High heat is no problem. My previous kettle was used only on hi heat for 45 years, and there is no warning about hi heat on the new one I purchased. Is the one you currently have a Revere? It's a teakettle, for gosh sakes! You're supposed to use it on high heat ;) BTW, I currently have a glass top range, but have also had this kettle on gas and electric ranges. OK all surfaces that I know of.

Sure! Check the specs. I think it's good up to 500 degrees, so it should be fine on one side of the stovetop, not in the hottest center.

I have used both a weber portable propane grill and coleman stove on mine with no issues. I would hesitate putting a hot pan or pot on the table without protection. The grill is on legs and the stove does not get that hot on the bottom. Hope this helps. Overall great table I like it. very light and easy set up.
