can open gas flame be used on this percolator?

Yes it can. This percolator ia used every day on a gas stove without diffusing and it works and holds up perfectly
1250868
yes, it can. I prefer the gas stove method over an electric stove because the electric stove will give your coffee a burnt taste after sitting on the hot coils.
1250869
You sure can. That's exactly how I use mine. My Medelco stovetop percolator makes perfect coffee all the time.

Yes, medium to low and I would use metal trivet that comes with pot to diffuse heat evenly.

I have only used the glass pot on a ceramic stove. Are you are considering an open flame with the pot sitting on a metal grill? My guess is that the pot will not get as much concentrated heat as on the coils of a stove. But the plastic insides would be a worry to me no matter where you use it. Personally, I would get a metal percolator (with a glass cap). Like Meyer Cookware 50124 Yosemite Percolator, Stainless Steel, 8-Cup Meyer Cookware 50124 Yosemite Percolator, Stainless Steel, 8-Cup. I have quit using the glass pot with plastic insides and gone back to my metal pot.

I am assuming yes because it is a stovetop percolator. I would not have the flame on high. I have found medium heat works great for the percolator. I have a glass percolator and I use it on my gas stovetop all the time. Works perfect. Now I purchased this model you are asking about as a gift and as far as I know the person is using it on her gas stove.

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

Absolutely not. The open flame would present an extreme hazard of your tent catching fire, and any incomplete combustion would produce carbon monoxide gas that could kill you.

Let me restate my previous comment. No, according to the manufacturer you should not use this pot with a gas flame. However, if you were to maintain a flame smaller then the base of the pot you might be OK. If you do use a flame, be careful with the handle, it could get too hot for a bare hand.

Yes in fact we love to use it to make coffee on the stove as well. We've used ours on the open fire for over a year now with no problems. Well maybe one problem. I wish I had bought the bigger one now.

I've never tried but I would advise against it. It *might* not spark but it would be impossible to hold. Even just pouring coffee in it makes the handle far too hot.

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.

I would ask your local gas company if this can happen via an adapter m perhaps the single burner w/aerosol type fuel canister will work best for you inside. You know the type caterers use.

I wouldn't expose it to open flame, but perhaps if you put aluminum foil under it.

I do not see why not. It is the same concept as the old style percolator. On medium heat, it should be fine. Hope this helps!

I would use a flame difuser with this product for use on a gas stove. While this tagine withstands temperature variations across the thickness and surface area being heated, even ceramic can fail if the heat source concentrates over a relatively small cross section, especially at the start of the heating cycle.

Small open flame is good , all depends on the application.Keep the flame low and even then apply solder. good luck

Hi, just a little less time than ceramic. Not much but a little, I like it because it is much better to put on an open flame,and warm up. I don't use electric coffee pots anymore so you should try the Coleman Enamelware Percolator. I bought 2 of them because I like tea to. I cut the tea bags and then drop into the percolator filter. Oh by the way, the aroma in the air is wonderful. It makes me feel like I'm camping. So have fun and taste and smell the difference. It's great. Thanks for your time,,,,Terry

However, I looked a little closer at mine and the "stem" in the middle is not round so it might not fit on the stem in the Percolator! Check that out first before cutting the hole!

Sorry, but I have no idea. I don't think any of these are, however, as they look to be woven plastic. I wouldn't use is near or over an open flame. Check with the manufacturer.

Yes. I have used it exclusively on gas. Set it so flame comes only to edges

It is totally possible. I'd suggest getting some kind of tray if your burner doesn't have any. (Mine did.) You'll need to pile it up fairly high if you want the gas to be dispersed through it. Two bags, I'd say. And you should be aware, this stuff is like broken bits of safety glass. If you want a "pretty" effect, I'd spend more money and get the polished kind of fire-glass.

I would not think so if your percolator has the stem coming up in the middle for the water to come through and percolate over the grounds because this basket has no hole in the bottom to fit over the stem of your percolator.
