I see people seem to use this on the stove top, but how does that work with the legs? I'm wondering if i need a flat bottom one...

It can be used on the stove top but the three legs make it a little less effective. If you have a gas range the legs will fit down between the grates. On an electric top it would probably be best to have a Dutch oven with out legs. The one with legs is called a Camp Dutch oven. It works well in an oven because the legs fit in the shelf of the oven. My son does this all of the time. Stove top no.

It's made for a co fire. You need coals on bottom and on lid. It's not made for a stove.

I have an electrical coil stovetop, but the pans are of great quality and I don't see why they wouldn't work well on the flat top.

Yes the bottom base is flat - I used it on my glass top - One thing to keep in mind is not to slide the pot on the hot burner it will leave marks on the glass top - It is easy to remove with a good glass cook-top cleaner so don't worry it it does

My stove is a gas one - so my answer would be moreof a supposition--there is ever so slightridging on the bottom-yet the bottom is virtually flat--andit's the best griddle we have ever owned. We use it formaking pancakes and french toast and it's a dream!

not a good idea to use this on the stove top. It only has a wire mesh bottom so anything that cooks out of your food will end up on the stove top. I guess you could use it on a gas stove burner to grill veggies .

Yes it has a flat bottom......check with Lodge if it is safe on a ceramic cooktop.

probably not...there's not enough flat bottom surface to work (if it will at all). This is best used on a gas stove or on a portable butane gas burner.

This does not have a flat bottom. It is hollow. It rests on the outside circumference and the indentations do not touch the stove. I have used it on gas as well as electric ranges with good results.

A glass cooktop needs flat surface contact. I use my cast iron cookware on my ceramic stove top all the time with no problems ever. Been using them for years.

The bottom is not flat and this would be much too heavy full for a glass top even if the bottom was flat when it was full of water and jars.I am not sure there are flat bottom granite ware? I've never seen any anyway.Many people just buy a 23 quart Presto pressure canner and use it as a water bath too.You can do a single layer of 7 quart jars at a time in it and it works on glass top stoves.

The bottom is indeed flat so theoretically it can be used on a ceramic top. I have a plain stove but I think you would like the functionality of the pan. The bottom is metal and I am not sure about how ceramic tops work but I use my pan to cook most of my meats like burgers and steaks with good results.

Yes it has a flat bottom. I have an electric stove and it works just fine with my electric burners.

I have a cooktop and I would suggest you order the ring. The wok is perfectly round on the bottom and wobbles on the flat surface. I was surprised at how heavy it is and nicely hammered. The bottom measures 20" from side to side.

I've used it on my glass top stove without any problems....did crab legs in it!

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

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.

My husband ground mine off, as it didn't fit on the configuration of my burners. He remembers they were about 3/4" tall. IF IT WORKS WITH YOUR STOVE, it should sit flat.
