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!

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?

Buy the right fuel cannister: Coleman Butane / Propane Mix Fuel It screws into the 'stove'. Turn the nob and light it with a flame source. Super easy to use, though you need a flat place to put it on. It works for all size pots, though larger ones can be tricky as it's a very small flame area. I've heard that some cheaper pots will actually burn a bit because of the small flame area. It is very small folded down and unfolding it is as easy as an umbrella.

I use my pot over a portable propane burner when I make my two hour spaghetti sauce for canning. This is similar to an open flame, but pot is very durable. I have seen it used in a buried charcoal pit with hot rocks in the ground, but not sure about an open campfire. Hope this helps.

I have a gas stove. It does just fine. I usually use a medium to medium high flame--it pops pretty fast. I put my butter right in there along with the oil (I've been using coconut oil). The butter browns just a little bit, but it tastes great and it's all evenly buttered when you pour it into your serving bowl!

Yes. An open gas flame can be used on this percolator. Just set it on the gas burner for 9-10 mins.

I used the small fold down stove that you put on top of a propane tank and it was fine , I hope that helps. I normally use them on a normal Coleman stove, but the work on the small one too.

I bgt a camp chef 2 burner just for canning b cuz it has 15 k btu output of heat, this makes canning faster for me. My glass top stove takes 4 ever to heat up the canner & so difficult maintaining proper pressure. Its set up in my kitchen & I am a happy canner. A friend who is a master canner uses this method & told me about it. So easy just make sure your propane tank is full b 4 starting.

I haven't timed it specifically however it does hold quite a bit of propane. Of course it depends on how many things you have going at once. I seem to remember with my 2 burner grill it was at least 10 min perhaps longer.

Suprised it was damaged!! Mine was packed like a very well! As for the temp? I had that problem yesterday. Smoked a pork roast. Fired up just fine and was running too hot 250! Had both burners on low and both dampers open all the way. So, I turned the valve back on the propane tank. Next think I know the temp is at 150 and when I turn it up the temp will not increase. I shut everything down. Opened the valve on the propane tank all the way and restarted it. Worked fine after that. The propane regulators are very cheap now days and seem to have some issues. I have only used it 3 times and here are some suggestions. Keep what you are smoking if it is a small amount at the same level as the temp gauge. Only use 1 burner at a time. Why? When the 1st one burns out of wood chips you start the other. Then you can change out the chips and it is not hot. Wrap the pans in tin foil! They stay nice and it is an easy clean up when you are done. I am also looking into getting a very thin fire proof seal for the door. It is metal against metal and leaks some smoke. May not be worth the cost but a thought. Also..Make sure you burn it off!! Do it slow and work the vents and the doors as it heats up! They will stick! Hope this helps! Going to do a big turkey this weekend?! Yikes!!!

Propane drops in temp as it is disbursed not very scientific on my part, but we did come up with a solution. We bought a 6 foot cord and hook ours up,to a 5 gallon propane tank. Cheaper and works better

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

I bought it for camping so I've only used it on a Coleman twin burner propane stove and on a Coleman propane grill. It distributes heats fairly even but the stove does create two hot spots where the burners are and the grill creates one long hot spot down the middle. I put it on the twin burner stove for making two pancakes at a time and usually put it on the grill for hash browns. That also depends on what else I'm cooking at the same time but I also have 10" and 12" tri-ply stainless sauté pans with single burner stoves too. Overall it doesn't distribute the heat as well as a cast iron griddle but I prefer stainless over cast iron for camping because it's lighter and more maintenance free.

I have a gas stove I brew it on medium, takes about 7 to 8 minutes, the electric on a medium settings cant take much longer.

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.

Depends on your heat source ... electric will take quite awhile propane will be quicker but make sure you do not have any leaks .. About 2 Gallons of finished product

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