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!

We used in it the backcountry over an alcohol stove and had no problems with anything sticking or burning. I'm sure it would depend on what you were cooking to some extent but cleaning it after use was very easy.

I've never used a whole canister in one stretch but I think you can get about 45 mins from one of the butane canisters. I guess that would also vary a bit depending on how high you had the burner turned up.

We used ours with our Coleman single burner, didn't have any problems with the coating coming off at all on our entire trip and must have been used at least 8-10 times. Perhaps we didn't have the heat up as high as the other people? But we did heat all our food through and made coffee (we forgot the kettle!) and heated beans - we certainly didn't want any of the things we heated to be anywhere near 300 degrees though. We also put one of the pans over an actual firepit fire on a cooking grill thing with fold out legs - worked great on that too. All I can say is we're still using ours and it looks fine to me.

Actually the sealer worked great for me, only took like a couple of seconds. Also it gets very hot - very fast, so when you are finished with it I suggest unplugging it and sitting it somewhere it can cool before you put it up. They are a bit thick for percolated coffees, but great for for teas bags or instant coffee if you travel or camp.

Works fine on a glass top stove (which is what I have). The instructions included with the pot say just don't shake or move around the pot while cooking (for any stove kind, not just glass), and also not to preheat the burner before cooking like another person suggested. You're supposed to start with a cold burner, put the oil/popcorn seeds in, put the pot on the burner/turn burner on, and slowly turn the handle from start to finish. Takes about 2-3 minutes, is fun, and super easy to wipe clean after the pot cools.

Dear Ryan :) It works best over a clean burning flame such as a backpacking stove/ burner but it can also be used of over a campfire using the correct precautions. Create an elevated platform from a flat stone or , if you have one, a small steel grill. Either way the object would be to position the Terra over a bed of coals or over a stone heated by the fire beneath it. Not over open flames which could render the handle too hot to use and "blacken" the outside which is not the best thing to do if you are packing it around. Know what I mean. The Terra is very durable but not indestructible. Any more questions, feel free to ask.

The largest burner on our electric stove top would take forever to heat up this pot if it was 1/2 full of water. Additionally, this pot wouldn't work in the last three kitchens I've had because microwaves mounted above the stoves don't allow enough clearance -- it's a really tall pot. I'd recommend doing some measuring and specification research if you have no plans to purchase a propane burner for outdoor use.

I use it over the two back burners on the stove in our trailer. It works well but allow a little time for the whole griddle to warm up for more even cooking.

No, I would never attempt to roast anything directly over the firepit that MIGHT drip down into it. It would prove to be very messy. I am not familiar with the coleman popcorn popper, so don't have any idea of the process. General Rule: Don't put anything into the flames!

It would be too big for the average burner/stove. I use mine on an outdoor propane burner. Takes a while to heat. Very large pot

My best guess would be about 4 hours on low... I used a third full canister to percolate coffee for 10 days during the Sandy power outage and did some lite cooking during that time which exhausted the can i had. Hope this helps...

The best way to use this pot is with a burner. When we tried to use it on the stove it took a long time to heat

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

The Coleman camping oven is designed to sit on a two- or three-burner camping stove. The propane or gasoline camping stove will work. The instructions do not reference using it over a wood fire. I would not recommend using it over a wood fire.

Yes, I see no problem with using the Propane Fuel.I use an Electric Stove and it works GREAT...no problems.

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.
