Can a pot larger than the burner sit on it? Or more specifically, can you use a different pot with this burner?

The pot must fit such that it rests upon the solenoid button...so it has to be fairly exact...you may be able to put a larger pot on there but put a steel tool or something under it to press down on the solenoid switch...

No. There is a safety switch which must be actuated. If you place a small metal plate of appropriate thickness under the large pot, the switch could be made. I'm sure the manufacturer would not approve of this solution.

Yes, there are no limitations or edges on the burner stand that prevent using another pot of a different size.

I used a smaller kitchen pot it worked fine. Just be aware it may ruin the bottom by leaving black streaks from the flame.

No, in fact this is the only pot that can be used with it. The burner is spring loaded and only this pot will depress the spring. I have never deep fried a turkey on here, but I have done multiple homebrew batches. Extract and partial can be done on this, but not all grain. For a bigger pot, I bought a Bayou Classic KAB4 and it has been amazing. Just follow the instructions for lighting it and it lights every time.

This pot is about 20" in diameter, and much too large for a regular stove burner. You could probably situate it over all 4 burners though, and use them all at a low level.

If it was me, I would look at the trangia triangle stand (or a proper wood burning stove), its roughly the same overall size but the 'floor /plate' does have holes in it better for the fire to breathe... and at the correct height for the flame. Agree with others that its small and no way to feed the fire when the pot on top.

Use it on any burner, the heat is radiated evenly because of the way the pot is built. Use the pot holders on the handles which are lifetime stainless. The pot is 12" in diameter. The pot is a must for most every household that enjoys cooking.

If you have a "standard" stove, it will have 3 burners of 1 size , and a larger one. The large aluminum burner bibs will fit the large burner. You will also need a box of the small bibs for the other 3 burners. These are very good because they minimize the mess from boil overs, spills, etc.

Jazzer, you'll want to purchase the Esbit Ultralight Folding Stainless Steel Pot Stand that tightly holds the burner and allows pots to sit on top. I used mine on a multi-day backpacking trip and it worked quite well.

Yes, a 12" pot will sit on the burner. I imagine that a 14" might also. Only the center 10.5" of the pot will get heated. I tried a 12" pot.

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.

No, not directly on the burner. I've seen flat metal stars that can be placed between the burner and the pot.

Thank you for posting. I actually bought the stove, figuring the pictures must be accurate after finding the same one in multiple places, and it's right; the measurements stated in the product page are wrong. I was concerned because 13" wide (or long) would not have been wide enough to fit two pots on the burners!

The bottom of the pan tapers down to a diameter of about 7 1/2". It might work depending on the size of your burner. I definitely recommend getting the lid. These pans take a little longer to heat up than normal pans as they are a lot thicker. I am using mine on an induction stove and use it on a smaller burner as it is actually too small for my large burner.

You'll be able to see the stove heating element glowing through the glass, and you may be wasting some electricity, but other than that it should work fine on the larger burner. I would cook on the smaller unless there was some issue. The bottom is flat and considerably smaller than the bowl.

The pot diameters don't really change as the size gets bigger. They just get taller. You should be able to use it on a regular, residential kitchen stove.

You might want the larger size. If you use the larger one, I think it should work just fine. Be careful as you remove it from the pot. It will need to besupported because it will flatten out without the sides of the pot to shape it.

Yes. The smaller pots fit nicely inside the larger ones. Not only that but you can fit a 8 oz fuel canister inside the small pots. That way all of your cooking stuff is right there together. I love it.

I think all burners heat most effectivley on top of the burner that is the same size. If you want it to heat a larger pan it would be advisable to get a aluminum pan or a copper bottom pan to distribute the heat more evenly...........Ken

Hi Carol... probably not... the diameter of the pot should not exceed the diameter of the burner/heating element. Same applies to electric stove. While it may heat the pot, it will take forever and eventually you may burn out the heating element.
