With a downflow furnace can this be on the intake side or will that rust and scale the burners? Hard to access the bottom!

ABSOLUTELY NOT!! Not to mention the condensation that may collect on the blower components as well. I understand your situation as I have installed many down flow furnaces. I suggest that you purchase the Aprilaire 850 Steam Humidifier Fan Pack and have the 800 run stand alone. Good luck.

sorry, I have a upflow system and have it down stream from the heating element. I think it would be best to contact the manufacturer for the correct answer. Needless to say, I have enjoyed the system for a year now without any issues once I figured out to hook it up to a Nest..

I would honestly ask the manufacturer on that one. I had to call them with a question and they are very friendly and responsive. They should be able to answer your question and would trust the answer more.

Like Jeff C. Said, best to contact the manufacturer. I think they would tell you that the outflow would be the best spot, especially if you have a high efficiency furnace.

I believe instruction manual states you can install in return, I would think combustion is going to burn off some of the humidity you are adding with unit. I would think post furnace is much better and efficient than pre furnace. Natural gas releases moisture content in combustion that runs off as condensation, so I would think that humidity in return or intake would be fine and not rust and scale burners. This unit is awesome just as the reviews state. Brian.

There should be everything you see in the picture. What you can't see is a copper rod used to help hold up the burner. The rod slides through holes on either side of the metal part that holds the burner. You also can't see the burner or the grill grate. Anything else?

The distance from the burner holes to the top of the grid is about 1 inch. On high, the flames will most certainly be in full contact with the pot and spread around the sides of a smaller one. If you find that the Low setting is still too hot, set the burner on High and continue turning the knob slowly towards the off setting and you can get it turned down to a simmer. Just keep an eye on it as it is easily blown out at this lower setting. This burner provides an extremely hot flame and if set properly, will boil water very quickly. I prefer it to the flat top ceramic range in the kitchen and use this burner almost every day for various purposes. REW.

The grill is set up to work on both side and the rim keeps the grill off of a flat cooktop. It does not pick up enough induction to load the coils and the range shuts down. I would think you would have the same problem with any glass cooktop.

I have had no problem. Air vents on bottom. But the stainless exterior is a pain to keep nice without smudges and markings

Well it has 4 burners and seems to cook very even. So you could turn temp down on one side.

Yes. The bottom is very thick - I purchased this type because it resembles an All-Clad stock pot at a fraction of the cost. I brew beer in this and it sits on my burner on high for over 3 hours. No problems.

Keep bottom Vents open and dont close top untill temp gets where you want. Remember the more air flow the hotter the coals.

A Drop Bottom Furnace works just fine. That's what I use and honestly that's all I'll ever use. The decision to size is up to you - I've done it both ways as well as coating with alox before and after sizing and since these are all plinking rounds - what works simplest for you is what you should use. Good Luck with your efforts!

I have a gas stove but don't see that you would have a problem. It is a a high quality stainless steel bottom.

Hi Karen, thank you very much for your question. For a properly operating gas grill, you should not have any issues. Occasionally the heat shield or the burners can slide out of position. Sliding everything back in as it should be will alleviate most issues. If there is damage to a burner we recommend replacing it or avoiding that side. Turning the grill down could be a solution as well. The 7" advisement is mainly aimed towards charcoal grills. You want to knock the pile of properly prepared hot coals down. You don't want flaming coals at all. I hope this helps! Have a great day, Jamie

Yes - I have a problem with the legs hanging through the burner grate and with the rounded bottom, it leans sideways a little. What I did do one time, placed one of those heat reducers on the burner and sat the pot on it.

Only for use with gas. Burners, located on the bottom, would interfere with charcoal use.

Unfortunately Mr. Davis is correct. I have put a small aluminum pan on top of the burner on one side, set the burner to low and proceed. The pan collects the drippings and deflects the fire. It works if you have the time.

I believe the burner is, though I can't get a good look at it. I'm going to be cleaning the whole thing this weekend and can update. the drip cover is not. It is starting to rust (my bad for leaving it out all winter)

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

I use mine as a flat top grill. The grooved side is down. On my electric burner it works well. When on my induction "burner" with the grooved side in contact with the burner it works as well. The key may be that I have a small induction unit so the raised sides of the grill extend over the burner and the grooves have contact with the element. I do not use my grill flat side down
