What is the maximum weight that you can put on it. Water is 8 LB per gallon, if using it for canning with a 50 qt capacity pot, would be 100 LB.

I use a 10 gallon pot, usually filled with about 7.5 gallons and its solid. I don't see any reason why it won't support cup to 100 lbs.

We use this for frying and have never used it for anything else. We love it.

We use it to cook lobsters and have probably put 30 lbs of lobsters with it half full of water. Hope that helps. It is very heavy duty and sturdy. Not our first burner but definitely the best so far.

I don't know what the weight would be, but the canning pot I use is 21.5 quarts. It holds 7 quart jars, and is very sturdy. Hope this helps.

I believe the specs say 25 lbs. I've had a full size stock pot with 3 gal of water in it and the unit worked perfectly.

You can use a 1lb tank. I have it hooked to a 20 lb tank with an adaptor hose.

Probably 20 lbs. I doubt if it should be around that much water full time though..

I can only assume that there are 2 reasons that you cannot use this on a glasstop electric range, one is because it MAY scratch the glass surface of the range, and second - it probally WILL cave in the top of your range from the weight when it has water in it. Water weighs about 8 lbs. per gallon. You do the math for a 33 quart pot. My suggestion is to use this pot on an outdoor high pressure burner. It works great for when I am canning and pressure canning with my pressure canners, plus it does not heat up my kitchen and whole house.

80lbs would do 1 -2 inches in 75, it works fine with siphon hose. Just make sure to rinse it in small 4-5 lbs batches until water runs clear if not tank eill be cloudy a very long time.

Definitely not 8 lbs. I would assume it is under 1 pound. But very very very good product. Keeps ice for 24 hours and keeps water cold for 48.

I'm not totally sure. I know a gallon of water weighs about 8lbs. You can roughly figure it out from there.

Well it's fairly heavy as it's glass, and when you add water... I'd wager it would be 60+ LBS.

The water tank is 50oz, and is easily removable. The tank is easy to lift out for filling if it isn't under a cupboard.

For what it's worth, I homebrew with a bayou classic 1046 142 quart pot as a brew kettle (it's significantly heavy when empty). Although I had bricks in place, apparently much of my weight was on the burner. It flexed on me after running high heat for quite some time and roughly 25 gallons of wort in it. The bricks picked up and supported the weight. I now use cinder blocks positioned around it to support the pot and make sure it is up off the burner. Just be careful. If you're worried, get some extra support and set your mind at ease.

I'm not sure of the weight of your vase but I can tell you that I have a container with water in it that's been sitting on the stand for over a year with no issues. I would say the container I use (with the water) is about 4lbs.

I can't tell you how much it weigh's as it's in service,but I'll try to weigh it next time it's refilled. I was too concerned about it's weight being it's glass instead of plastic,but it's not a need for concern.We had a 5 gallon plastic jug befor,and this is so much nicer.It's not bulky,and it's not a chore to put it on the cooler. I fill it up to refill,but my wife is 110 lbs. she fills it half way cause she more safe. At 3 gallons it's still way lighter .A gallon of water is 8 lbs. The bottle is not even 5lbs i don't think.By the way if you check the numbers on the bottom of plastic bottled water your not supposed to store water in the containers cause the plastic can leach into the water.So I don't care what it weighs.

I think that tank is a 5#, meaning 5 lbs. would be the maximum. I never actually used this one as it turned out to be the wrong tank body style to fit on my boat. I had to sell this one and buy a Worthington brand for a lower height measurement.

About 60 pounds; 58 for the water and 2 for the container. I hate lugging mine back from the water spigot in a campground I frequent, so I choose my campsite wisely!

I believe someone in the 60+ range can handle this. You dont fill it with water, just to approx 1/4-1/3 capacity. The jars go in after you haveplaced it on the burner. My wife is 60 and has no problems with it when canning. Of course every individual is different, i cant speak for yourmothers physical ability.....

I think water weighs 8.33 lbs/gallon. I regularly put four one gallon jugs of water in a crate for a total tare weight of 33.32 pounds, plus the weight of the crate itself; probably less than 35 lbs total.
