can this pot be used in a capfire - directly on the coals? Would oven with legs be bettet for this?
1823467
Yes but the legged ones are better because you can put coals on top to regulate heat.It takes practice with this one to cook on coals. You need to raise it above the coals for best results.I use mine at home more than camping so for me this one works better.

i bought for the stove top and haven't used over a fire or coals, but imagine it could be used on a camp fire. i do think the legged version would be better because the legs would give more stability, and also allow the fire to breathe better.

You should not put it directly on the coals. You can use it on a barbeque of fire, but it should by hung over it.

The one with the legs would be more stable, but you can use this one. I recommend building a little "tripod" with stones for it to stand on above the wood of the fire, just to help keep the heat even. I've used mine inside a fire pit and it was great.

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.

Yes it can be used in a campfire or BBQ as I've used it on both as well as in the fireplace just because I thought it'd be fun to try to replicate recipes I'd seen done at Sturbridge Village; I assume that if you didn't have a grate to place it on then legs would be better because it would allow more air to circulate however as I live in California where there's alway seems to be a high fire danger I've never cooked anywhere but in a designated camp fire area where gratesare always part of the structure.

Ys this can be put directly on the coals of a fire. The dutch ovens with legs and flat, rimmed tops are made specifically for use in fire pits. Remember to cook in the coals and place some of the coals on top, that what the rim is for. This model will work if you have a couple of bricks in the fire to give it stability.
1823474
Yes. Just don't 'shock' it by getting it too hot too fast or cooling it down too fast. I always pull a suply of coals out of the main fire to cook on with no problems.

sure! though the handle will be really super hot by the time the water is warm. i went to the local hobby store and got some blue silicone gas line to put on the handle, makes the handle more comfortable and much less likely to burn me as i take it off heat. it is a thinner titanium pot than most available by more reputable companies but titaniums melting point is around 3000F. not a temp your likely to be getting with coals.

I have not used it in other than my regular oven. It is ceramic and designed for low-moderate heat cooking over a longer period of time. I have used it successfully many times in my oven at a temperature of up to 350 (F) because that's what the recipe called for. I think I would opt for a cast iron Dutch oven for use on a wood stove rather than this ceramic pot. But that is just my opinion.

No, I would be afraid to since it scratches easily and I don't know how solid the bottom of the pot is. I don't know if the stove top flame would burn it. I'd be careful!

While the top is fabricated in aluminum, the legs do wabble a bit. Since the stove is rather heavy...I would not do this myself. Doesn't Coleman make a base for the stove that they would recommend.
1796970
Yes, you can. Just turn the burner on about 75% heat and put your coals on it. Let them sit for about 5 minutes until the bottom half is glowing red, flip and repeat. Once the whole coal is red you are ready to go.

The pot is a beautiful brushed stainless steel like a cooking pot. Yes, I think you could use it directly on an open flame, but then I would expect it would begin to look like a cooking pot!

NO, the support legs on the burner are about 3in in dia....you could dig a hole in the ground, the depth of the whole stove, have a vent hole, and just set the whole thing on the hole, it works good, although the flue for it is not cheap when compared to propane.

It should be fine, especially if you use the oven lid to keep the heat from escaping around the dutch oven. You will also need to use the heat diffuser plate to support the pot, and it should fit right down inside it. I've heard that dutch oven cooking is best with charcoal or wood, but I have had good results using propane on a very low flame.

Probably, yes. It is Ike a small cast iron skillet with a 2 foot handle. You can put it on any normal heat source. But on a stove it would not be very practical with the long handle. And to me part of the fun is using it with a camp fire.

Absolutely not. The canning rack is made of thin aluminium and is not designed to take the intense heat of a burner directly.

"In a stove"?? It can be used on a gas stove - either an indoors stovetop or an outdoors barbecue. I have used it on a barbecue many times for the grandkids when we are not camping, and have heard of others using it on a gas ring or stovetop. However, you wouldn't be able to use it in an oven - it has wooden handles which are not designed to withstand heat of that sort. Of course the real design of the piece, and the amazing beauty of it, is to use in a campfire where you can put the cast iron ends into the fire or coals, and the handles are used to handle the pie irons - putting them into and pulling them out of the fire.

No, I wouldn't put the pot directly on the burner of any stove. It's ceramic and doesn't have any marking on the bottom (well, mine doesn't at least) that indicates that it's safe to put it on the stovetop or in the microwave.

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.

Yes,it works very well It is my stovetop "go-to pot."Great addition,but do not use in oven!

I use on gas stovetop with no problems. Just keep flame size smaller than bottom of kettle.

No terry it cannot, but what you should look into is the silverfire hunter stove.. That may be more what your needing. Good luck , Chris
