Can this kettle be used with a alcohol stove?

I would not try and convert it this to an alcohol stove; could be very dangerous with that much fuel. Alcohol stoves hold only 2 to 3 ozs of fuel. The Kelly Kettle works very well for boiling a large volume of water quickly due to it's unique design.

It can be used with any heat source. The neat thing about the kettle is that you won't need liquid fuel if you can find leaves, wood pine cones, paper, etc... If you are above the vegitation line then alcholhol burner may make sense

I have no idea.....I use it for camping, with just some sticks and leaves and it boils water in under 10 minutes

? That's a novel idea! I think it can work on any kind of flame, but that's kind of missing the point! It boils up FAST with just a few leaves and the smallest twigs. Still, if it would sit on top of your stove, it would probably be more efficient than an ordinary kettle. But I think the idea of this is that you don't NEED a stove, there's always some little brush that you can burn. I've used mine a few times to make a pot of tea or some ramen out in the woods, it's very fast and easy.

I have an electric stove but my friend ordered the same kettle and she has a gas stove. She never mentioned any problems with the kettle.

To start with I find these childproof lighters very difficult to use because of the configuration of the switches. I only have experience with it on a propane stove. When you turn the stove knob on propane streams out and is ignited by the spark. I don't know how a alcohol stove works. The lighter probably would work if when you turn the knob on a alcohol stove a stream of propellant is emitted to be ignited by the spark.

That should work fine. However, the kettle is porcelain coated so be careful drilling/cutting it as it may emit high speed procelain chips as you cut/drill. Gloves and safety glasses are a must! Enjoy your temperature controller. Mine works great!

It is not to be used on the stove. It is just to brew the tea by pouring hot water in it

Yes, no problem at all. The kettle is just excellent in general. I highly recommend it!

I would not use it for a stove- it is a caustic etch- and meant for the outside of an aluminum boat.

It is not recommended, although I'm not sure why. I have other cast iron kettles that I use on top of wood stoves, but they are larger and heavier. I've always used another pot to get the water hot, and transferred into this kettle.

I'm not sure about using on an electric stove, as min is gas. But this kettle has a MAJOR design flaw. When you raise the lid and try to pour the boiling water from it, the steam escapes backwards is redirected toward your hand, causing steam burns. It is difficult to use and very uncomfortable. I am looking for a replacement.

No, I wouldn't even try. Alcohol is much more flammable than kerosene and lamp oil. It's also more expensive. It's always better and safer to use the fuel the appliance was designed for. It does burn very well in stoves designed for alcohol use.

It is designed to use with a wood stove and to add some humidity to the room. There was a statement (warning?) on the box about not drinking the water used in this kettle.

I have a gas stove, but I think the kettle should do fine on an electric stove. Its very heavy duty.

If your glass stove top can compatible with metal pan, I think it can compatible with the tea kettle too.

A tea 'pot' is a vessel used to SERVE tea, a tea 'kettle' is a vessel you put on the stove to heat water for making tea. If you, indeed mean to use this to serve tea, then yes you can use it for that. It does have the wire mesh press mechanism inside, which is not ideal for serving. You should not, however, put this French press on your stove as it would likely become damaged.

I have used wood, a charcoal bricket, a tea light and an alchol burner. all have boiled water very well. so yes you can use other fuels with it.

I think you should be able to. I did mine on the stove and it worked great.

i dont see why not, i have a normal stove and it does great. If you can boil water in a metal pan on your stove, i'd guess you can do the same thing with this:)
