Has anyone else used this on a gas stove top? I am worried about the wooden handle getting burnt.

I use this frequently on our gas stove top. The pan completely covers the gas flame--no threat at all to the wooden handle. For the person who complained that the "gear strips" and will not turn when the corn pops; reverse stirring direction for just a couple of turns to dislodge any stuck corn kernals and then continue stirring in the "regular" direction. Works for me.

I don't have a gas stove (although I wish I did!), but I doubt the wooden handle will burn. The popper is tall enough where flames wouldn't reach, and it's wide enough to where the flames wouldn't spread around the bottom of the pot and reach up the sides of the popper. Even if you shake it, I think you'll be fine.

yes, I have a gas stove it works great, no problems with the handle burning. I keep it on medium heat not high.

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!!

Yes. Handle was not a problem while cooking. Do not lift pot with handle. Will fall off and hot pot will spill. No handles to lift hot pot. My expectations were probably wrong on this device. After corn starts popping it is not possible to keep stirring. The gears will strip and lid will come loose.

Yes, I think it should be fine. I've been using mine on a gas stove with no problems.

I use them on my gas stove. You will find that the handles get hot. Good Luck!

No I have not had a problem with the handle being to hot. Seems like it would cause it's metal but so far no problem at all.

I have gas stove, and I've not had any problems at all---has not discolored or scratched at all.

I have an electric stove top I use, so I'm not positive. The metal is thin stainless steel, so I'd probably recommend medium to low heat with gas rather than high heat, but I think it would probably be fine.

The handle gets hot enough that I have to use a pot holder, but it may be because we have a gas stove with an open flame! I'm not sure if it would get that hot on a normal stove top!

No problems with using this pot on a gas stove. That is exactly how I do it. It's usually a low flame. Yes, we did season it before the first use. I can't remember how. We googled instructions and it worked perfectly. We really love our Tagine Pot - it's also a topic of conversation when we use it with guests.

I use it on a glass top stove, and have had no problems. It might scratch in the long run, but I haven't seen it yet.

Haven't really tried to burn the handles, the do extend away from the pot/pan a good distance. I'm not familiar with the Emberlit stove, I use a gasifyer stove that does burn high and hot. If you're resonably careful you schouldn't have a problem.

I have only used it on gas. I would make sure you have a metal coil between the stove top and the kettle. I am not sure that the kettle can take the direct heat. Also, my kettle was short lived. The top cracked as I was putting it on the kettle. It is now a vase.

My handle does not get hot while using it to cook bacon. It might get hot if the flame/electric grill is set on too high a setting but I don't ever use my stove that hot. Mine will get hot if left in front of the oven vent as the heat from the oven goes directly on to the handle and you will have to use a potholder to move it. The only reason it gets hot in that position is because after washing the flat iron, I put it in the middle of my range (near the oven vent area) as a decorative item. Since it is iron and looks nice on my stove, I learned the hard way not to leave it there while my oven is in use.

just be careful of flames going up the sides and melting the plastic on the handle material. I used it on a msr pocket rocket which is high heat and no problems. So far it has been a great pot. You might consider using it with something like a Caldera Cone Sidewinder for best performance with an alcohol burner.

I cook on a gas stove and the long handle does not. The short handle does if it is near the heat source. It's my favorite pan. I use it on a daily basis.

Yes.I have a gas stove and use it all of the time. Just a little coating vegetable oil or olive oil and all you should have to do is wipe it down with a paper towel. Never use water or soap. Keep it cured.

My handle is NOT wood! It's got some kind of silicone covering over it so it doesn't get too hot. We have the GSI as pictured

I have used it on high heat on a ceramic top stove, and I have had no issues. I have mainly used the pot as a canner.
