Can I use this on my wood stove to make tea?

FLAME TEMPERATURES of wax candles, natural (cooking) gas, and burning wood (hard or soft) reach almost 2000 °C. However, the average temperature at the cooking surface of a wood cooking stove is only about 350 °C. Water needs 100 °C to boil, but only needs to be 80 °C in order to brew white tea or green tea.

Yes, I have this exact pot and have used it on my wood stove. It works wonderfully.

I never heat water in my teapot, but you could keep it warm on your wood stove. I don't know if it would harm your teapot to heat it on the stove.

Because of the ceramic interior, it cannot be used on the stove top (interior will crack). This is a service kettle used to brew and keep tea warm for longer periods. It can be placed above a warmer (the kind that uses a tea light candle) to keep it toasty.

Yes. I make tea in but I usually reheat the tea by placing the pot on the stove and it's fine.

Sure you can use this to boil water for any reason. It is simply an aluminum coffee pot. Just put water only in it, set in on your stove burner or grill or hang it over your camp file from the bail. Just remember its going to be very hot so use a pot holder or oven type glove when you pick it up. You can brew your tea in it too, just put the tea bags in and then heat. Stay safe and don't get burned. :-)

I would not put this on an electric stove. I would boil water and add it to the tea pot.

I didn't try but I think you couldn't. You can just pour in it boiled tea (as I use it and then pour tea into small cups for example when I meeting guests) or just put some tea leaves in it and pour boiling water.

If you mean over a flame, then, no...this is a teapot strictly for steeping. Otherwise, I steep on the middle section of my stove with it resting on a cozy.

No, it is used to steep tea in only. You can keep it warm with a tea light candle, but should not be placed on the stove or in a fire.

Not sure but I would imagine anything made of glass placed on a hot stove may not be the best idea. I always boil the water in a kettle first then transfer it to the teapot for serving/keeping warm.

I guess it depends on what you want to cook. I use it to boil water over my camp fire, but we also make tea in it.

The reason you are not supposed to heat it over the stove is because you should not be steeping your tea in boiling water. The pot it for steeping, not cooking, and if you want to make several batches of tea with good leaves (like you should be able to), you don't want to pour water in, boil it and then reheat the leave over and over and over again when they should stay warm. This is not good for the tea.

I researched that, too. There is no cast iron teapot for use on the stove that I can find, but people on the internet seem to be doing fine using theirs on the stovetop. The manufacturer says it could crack the enamel, so I haven't.

No, to boil water on the stove you want a tea kettle. A teapot like this is for brewing tea in.

Yes you can use any teabag or loose leaf tea that you like in the pot. I have not used the glass pot on the stove. I just pour the boiling water over the tea into the pot and steep as usual.

I would not attempt using this coffee maker on a wood stove. With the exception of the part of the coffee maker underneath the recess where it sits over a burner the rest of the coffee maker is plastic.

i would not us it on the stove top. It is not meant to boil the water for the tea in. My stove is the glass top type of electric stoves and it has a hold warm stop in the center and I do put the tea pot there , once the tea is made to keep it warm.Hope this helps.

You can but the tea light candle might make leave dark soot on the bottom of the china which might be hard to remove. I would suggest a small electric coffee mug warmer instead, the kind with a on/off switch on the cord is best. Also a Tea Cozy, one of those insulated cloth covers they make to go over the pot to keep them warm are also good for keeping the tea warm. I use my cast iron teapot warmer with my Japanese cast iron tea pot (I also use it for a tiny habachi grill for shrimp and small bite size skewers of chicken, etc.
