Can I put this pot directly into a campfire? Or is it for stove use only?

Yes. You can put this directly over the campfire or on a pocket rocket stove.

Small fire yes. For a larger fire rake some coals out and set it on the coals.

I bought this pot to use for small meals. Used it the first day I got it. Plugged it in....added my ingredients and by dinner time that night had delicious stew. Using it like any other crock pot so I have no idea why it says that. But you can in fact cook in it. Maybe it means you can't use it on the stove.

On the bottom of the pot it states "not for stovetop use" so I wouldn't think a heating element with a diffuser would be good either.

As long as it is outside over a controlled burner (not a campfire), and the temperatures are not extremely cold (such below 0), there's no reason this pot wouldn't hold up. We use ours on a huge 6 burner gas stove and fill it nearly to the brim with soup. Handles and everything have held up great.

Can the range server be placed on a direct gas flame on the stove. I want to boil water in it?

Yes of course. This is a full cast iron product, any and all full cast iron can be used over a campfire as long as you know how to set it up so your food wont fall off if the coals/logs shift position. As long as it is stable, then yes it can easily be used just like a griddle with a bit of an edge to keep the food/grease inside.

I use my pot over a portable propane burner when I make my two hour spaghetti sauce for canning. This is similar to an open flame, but pot is very durable. I have seen it used in a buried charcoal pit with hot rocks in the ground, but not sure about an open campfire. Hope this helps.

I use mine primarily with an alcohol stove but I do not see any reason why you could not use it on the fire.

It's no different than a cast iron pot, except oval instead of round and dragon shaped. I am not an expert in gas stoves, but based on my experience, as long as the flame is fully covered by the bottom of the dragon, I don't see why not. We love it!

I would use it only on a very low heat. Not from a human/pot safety point of view, but due to the fact that the rapid heat transfer would make whatever was in the pot catch on the bottom really easily. I bought mine to use camping and in my solar cooker, where it is not directly on any heat source.

I have not used it in other than my regular oven. It is ceramic and designed for low-moderate heat cooking over a longer period of time. I have used it successfully many times in my oven at a temperature of up to 350 (F) because that's what the recipe called for. I think I would opt for a cast iron Dutch oven for use on a wood stove rather than this ceramic pot. But that is just my opinion.

No! Never use a camp stove indoors. There is a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

No, I wouldn't put the pot directly on the burner of any stove. It's ceramic and doesn't have any marking on the bottom (well, mine doesn't at least) that indicates that it's safe to put it on the stovetop or in the microwave.

I would go with other options. This is ideal when used with the small jet cooker but not on an open camp fire, IMHO.

Here's the thing- the amount of oxigen that goes in through the loading door enables the fuel, (twigs an d small branches) to burn so rapidly and so thoroughly that there is little if any smoke to exhaust through the top around the cook-pot. However this isnot a stove to use inside a tent or a camper. I find it is the best and fastest way to cook while camping and if the power goes off during a storm. The Eco-zoom is safer than a rocket stove.

You need pots and a steady fire source. I've only used a stove. At some point I'd like to try a wood fire to see how it would word in "the wilderness".

It is a baked bean pot. It is designed for baking. I don't know if it will last on the stove, but why would you want to. Use a sauce pan. Bill
