Has anyone used this over a propane stove? If so how long did it take to percolate?

Because it is a large pot it takes maybe an extra few minutes to get the water boiling but besides that it works just great. That is the type of stove I use it on.

We use this percolator only on propane stoves. It will take about 15 minutes to get water boiling, then another 10mins. to percolate. Great coffee!

Hey there - i've used them over an MSR camping stove. The only issue I ran into was a melted handle - mainly operator error by me. If you are using the pots over any sort of open flame (gas stove or word fire), you will just need to be careful to keep the rubber handles out of the flames.

I used the small fold down stove that you put on top of a propane tank and it was fine , I hope that helps. I normally use them on a normal Coleman stove, but the work on the small one too.

You can't really boil water in a pan over the grill grates. I tried it took way too long and waste of propane, especially when using small green bottles. Direct flames heat the pot faster.

I have used this for an older Colman camp stove. Worked well but had to use a filter at stove connection due to "dirty" propane in 20lb tank.

Works fine on a glass top stove (which is what I have). The instructions included with the pot say just don't shake or move around the pot while cooking (for any stove kind, not just glass), and also not to preheat the burner before cooking like another person suggested. You're supposed to start with a cold burner, put the oil/popcorn seeds in, put the pot on the burner/turn burner on, and slowly turn the handle from start to finish. Takes about 2-3 minutes, is fun, and super easy to wipe clean after the pot cools.

You could use it to do that, but it would still percolate. Basically you would just not add a filter or coffee. Please be aware that this product takes about a minute per cup of water when making coffee. I would assume a similar time to heat water, meaning it has to be set up an hour to an hour and a half in advance depending on how much water you want to heat.

Depends on your heat source ... electric will take quite awhile propane will be quicker but make sure you do not have any leaks .. About 2 Gallons of finished product

My best guess would be about 4 hours on low... I used a third full canister to percolate coffee for 10 days during the Sandy power outage and did some lite cooking during that time which exhausted the can i had. Hope this helps...

I've used mine on a 2 burner propane stove with no problem. I do stay with it and make sure it doesn't get too hot.

I use it over charcoal, Plus cook over hot bed of glowing Mulberry wood coals using my Horizon Smoker. I say yes. Enjoy!

I have a gas stove. It does just fine. I usually use a medium to medium high flame--it pops pretty fast. I put my butter right in there along with the oil (I've been using coconut oil). The butter browns just a little bit, but it tastes great and it's all evenly buttered when you pour it into your serving bowl!

I am assuming yes because it is a stovetop percolator. I would not have the flame on high. I have found medium heat works great for the percolator. I have a glass percolator and I use it on my gas stovetop all the time. Works perfect. Now I purchased this model you are asking about as a gift and as far as I know the person is using it on her gas stove.

No, I would never attempt to roast anything directly over the firepit that MIGHT drip down into it. It would prove to be very messy. I am not familiar with the coleman popcorn popper, so don't have any idea of the process. General Rule: Don't put anything into the flames!

Sorry, I am not familiar with your percolator. Try phoning the manufacturer.

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.

I bought the 6-cup GSI percolator and it FAILED on an induction stovetop... in an interesting way. The water came to a boil just fine, but the bottom of the percolator "popped" to a concave shape at this heat, and so my induction stovetop couldn't "find" the percolator and shut off with an error message. Never had this happen with any other induction-capable cookware, even thin carbon-steel enamelware.
