What setting do you find best for the stove? My electric has burners with settings from 1 to 8. How long does it take then to brew one full pot?

Although I didn't have a chance to use it. The 8-cup setting is my best refer and It would take roughly 5-7 min. to brew on either gas/E-stove. Hope It helps.

Sorry I cannot help you, we have a gas stove; once you start hearing the steam rise you turn the gas down.

I have a gas stove I brew it on medium, takes about 7 to 8 minutes, the electric on a medium settings cant take much longer.

My unit is a single burner, and I like it very much. It heats up well and it works well. I have used a regular stock pot on it, that was half to three quarters full, when cooking dried beans. It is built well,not flimsy.

TJ, not sure of exact temperature. I found that if I put it on the smaller burner on my stove top - I have gas so it is also a flame - I lower the flame so that it is medium setting rather than high. You have to watch carefully since once it has a steady boil it quickly fills the top chamber. Once it is almost empty at the bottom - leave a small bit as the instructions indicate and then we turn off the burner and let is seep down. I found this to be excellent coffee but I have cracked the top chamber when cleaning it 2x so far and replaced the top glass so I have given up on this type of coffee maker. Hope this helps and enjoy! TJ, not sure of exact temperature.

If you read my review, you know that I have two of them now. The old one I fixed...well I make it work. The new one works just fine.I use pots much larger than the diameter of the burner but also use a chef's pan and a three quart sauce pan. When using much larger pots, then entire burner heats its 'footprint' on the bottom of the pot. Usually, when a burner is not doing this, the burner itself has gone bad.So, technically I said yes to your question. However, a very large pot should not be used on this device. A very large pot holds too much water and ingredients and the weight alone will eventually cause damage to this device. I wish you the best.HJ If you read my review, you know that I have two of them now. The old one I fixed...well I make it work.

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 agree with Terry. Of course there are was to save fuel like not lighting until the pan of water is filled and ready to heat. Shut stove off and not keep boiling water just to boil it.THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE you cook for will decide how long your fuel will last. You should also understand that the high BTU output of this stove will use more fuel but you will not be heating as long and it never come to a boil. So fuel burn could be less with wise management.

I've been using mine for a little over a year now. However, I seldom use the right burner, which is for warming or simmering. But, I use the main burner all the time. I haven't had an issue at all since my purchase.

I has a high, low, warm and auto setting. The auto setting cooks on high for 2 hours and then re-sets to low. The warm setting is great for those occasions when you want things hot enough to eat but not still cooking. I have 2 other crock pots. Never use the other two anymore. This is worth every penny.

I just run in thru again without the grounds after the warmer timer shuts off. I have mine set for 4 hours..... but if your drinking good coffee you wouldnt have to re-heat, It should be already gone and making another fresh pot.

OK, I timed it this morning, and a full pot (water to the max line) took probably 6-7 minutes to completely boil. "Completely boil" means boil for a few seconds and then the "on" button automatically turns off. It starts boiling at around 5-6 minutes, but it's safer to leave it boiling for a little bit to kill the bacteria - that's probably why it doesn't shut off until about a minute later. I normally put in about 2 cups of water in the morning, just enough for my coffee and a little extra, and this takes about 1-2 minutes to boil. It's pretty convenient/saves time when you do it this way. Hope this helps! OK, I timed it this morning, and a full pot (water to the max line) took probably 6-7 minutes to completely boil.

I have used up to medium high on electric burner most of the time. I did cook a steay twice and I used high to really grill char. Pan did fine! Cleaned right up.

I would guess I could pre-fill my hobo alcohol stove and drop it in, light with a long match,twig or a spark from a ferro rod,using the stove as a pot stand and windbreak concentrating the heat. I'd be careful not to get burned. Now I'll have to try it.

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

I have a 6 cup Stainless Coffee Percolator. http://snowpeak.com/products/stainless-coffee-percolator-pr-006?variant=671147229 Does this burner take a long time to boil water in something like this Snow Peak coffee percolator and what heat setting should be used?

//// April 9 - I tried this again today, using an electric timer instead of my dear old analog watch, and the full pot took 7.75 minutes from start to shut off.////April 7 - I hadn't really thought about that, so I timed it this morning. From cold to boiling shut-off took my kettle between 9 and 10 minutes, maximally full. My kettle is maybe 9 months old now - use it several times a day and really like it!

I have a glass-top stove, it came with the house, I did not choose it. Considerations include, lifting the steamer, not dragging it, realizing that when it hits the appropriate pressure and you turn the heat down, it takes a little time for the the burner temp to adjust. At the end, I lift the pot and move it from the hot burner. Also, I am gentle sitting it on the stove. I use mine all the time to cook beans, so just leaving it on the hot burner can continue the cooking rather than begin the cooling process.
