are these effective to cool a very TINY NY kitchen when 3 burners of the gas stove are on?

No. Not effective to cool anything, in my opinion, accept the person DIRECTLY in front of it. Such a waste of money.

If you are talking about a wood stove yes. I would also use a doorway fan, as the heat rises.

If you get the correct size and have 18 inches above your stove. Mine works great and distributes a lot of heat quickly. The fan has some noise of course but nothing that's really loud, just the sound of a fan.

I only use mine on my counter top. I think it might pick up too much heat from being next to working burners.

Not necessarily. I used them on a countertop as they are. Just ensure there are no flammable items near it (same as with any open flame). You can also adjust the wick up with some pliers and this affects the height of the flame

From my experience they only get hot if you're cooking something else and the handle of the one is near the burner of another. Just the pan by itself on the burner does not get hot when cooking. We use a regular gas stove if that makes any difference.

Absolutely NOT!!! These handles were made to stay even temp. The only way they would be HOT would be to have the other burner on and the handle over it!

Not sure. I'd be very cautious about putting hot pans on them. If the pan is 'hot enough' it might scorch????????

In principle yes however these are very low volume . the object is to move the warm air and not cool it down over the distance. You are going to need a faster fan to do what you need.

Have only used them on stove top, but I don't see why not. Can't be that much different than a stove burner.

I think they are too shallow for gas burners but you can get the gas ones on other sites like Walter Drake and Miles Kimball. These covers are the greatest for making the kitchen look tidy. There is a company that makes one whole cover but when you have the oven on or just want to use one burner, they would be really unhandy to set aside.

Small burners should not be used to on high to bring the PC up to temp, the PC might reflect the heat back to glass surface and break it. Your milage may vary, but I imagine if it was already up to pressure, you could use the small burner to hold it at that temperature, as it doesn't take that much heat to hold it at pressure. At your own risk of course.

I have only used them for brief heating of leftovers. They didn't get especially hot but they weren't in for very long, just a couple of minutes.

The saucepan handles stay reasonably cool when on the stove. The short handles on the pots won't stay cool.

They do get hot. We have one in a cabinet that I do not put anything on top of but one on an open shelf that I do stack on, both work fine. I would avoid stacking components on one in a closed cabinet with no ventilation. I don't know how hot is "too hot" but they do fine used this way for us.

I am sorry I can't be too much in help. I use them only on electric stovetops.
