Has anyone had any luck using this on a RV stove vent? Does it stay secure when tearing off a sheet, or while in transit?

I use it on my fridge..the two magnetic disks on the back are about 2 in. in diameter and are very strong. I can pull off a sheet and it does not pull it off of the fridge. I love it.

Hey there - i've used them over an MSR camping stove. The only issue I ran into was a melted handle - mainly operator error by me. If you are using the pots over any sort of open flame (gas stove or word fire), you will just need to be careful to keep the rubber handles out of the flames.

We have been using this on Gas stove with no issues. It is dishwasher safe and the lid is vented

The gauge on mine also has a lot of free play, but it works fine; just make sure it's pointing to the "seal" label. Then I use a wooden spoon handle to push the gauge over to "vent" to keep my hands away from the steam (or you could put on an oven mitt the first couple of times, just to be safe). I also warn guests that it's going to be alarmingly LOUD when it vents.

Yes, it comes off easily. I love it. Use it under big, big pots to keep them from burning.

I use them in my RV over a propane stove. Although they nest inside of each piece they are quite heavy and the handles are plastic and detach for switching between pieces. My opinion is that the stainless would discolor in a direct fire and the handles may be damaged if used over a fire rather than on a standard stove top.

...hi Vicki...I have only used it on a campstove - but would feel comfortable using it on a stove top induction type heating element - it is a solid stainless unit. As to holding a magnet - never tried doing that.

They can't chew through it nor does it rust out like other screens do. It would be better if you had copper screening installed in your soffit vent. Yes, this would allow airflow still, but screen would be easier to handle than the mesh. The mesh is more intended for complicated spaces that won't take screen easily.

I would microwave with the lid both off and on but not fastened closed. if u do not cook with a high temp, it will do less damage to the cup. I never used the vent but that must be what it is for (vent). I really like this cup with a fastened lid because I use a cane and can only carry things with one hand. if I were still traveling, this would be a perfect cup to take.

It closes well but there is a tendency for lint buildup around the edges. The flap is light weight and if you allow lint build-up it won't close well for you. That's probably true of just about any vent. If I had to buy this one over again, I would.

I'm not sure. I used it above my stove on the vent hood and it worked great. I'm not sure how well it would hold up if you applied it to the stove because of the heat.

I have used mine in an RV very successfully, just make sure to crack a window for combustion air.

I bought mine to use on our gas stove to help even out the temps for simmering. This is an excellent product & I think it is light enough to lift & move with tongs (I got the smaller size). I just let mine cool down before moving it. The finish/coating? not sure about that but (it's like a solid disk) is rugged, not any cheap enamel or anything which would chip or peel off.... hope this helps. I would buy this for camp type cooking !!

I have a handle holder that is more like a quilted potholder. I leave it on the handle of my pan which I use everyday. I like it better than these silicone ones that can get singed by the electric stove burners. I think this is the one I have Lodge HHMT Max Temp Handle Mitt, Black

I haven't tried it, but I don't see why you couldn't, if that's what you want to do. A clip is included, which keeps the back end in place on the vent frame so it won't move, so it's feasible (using strong tape), since there's an edge all around. The plastic is stronger than appears in the picture.

The one I got was vented (the cap has a screw type vent), but the fuel line did not swivel as advertised. Additionally, it does leak out of the fuel line during storage when going through temperature changes...I seem to have this problem with a completely different metal tank, so I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing (or not doing correctly).

I have a metal cover on the top of the stove, and it sets perfectly on top of it. Haven't tried sitting it directly on the burner grate, but I would think that the material on the back (like a non-slip for a floor rug) would keep it in place.
