Does anyone use this smoker on a ceramic top stove without damage to ceramic top?

I used it on the glass top with no problem. I did not put it to high heat though. I loved using it with salmon and chicken so it doesn't need to be at the high side of hot to work well.

I have had no problems with the smoker's damaging my stove top. You may want to look at your instruction manual for your stove. The manual may have advice on this. Good luck. I hope you get to use the smoker because it is great.

Don't know since i have a gas stove, but the unit is heavy stainless steel and the bottom is smooth like a stainless steel frying pan.

Yes, I have used it on my ceramic top electric stove. Keep in mind I am gentle with handling it and do not slide it around. Have had no problem

I do not think it will work on a ceramic cook top. It requires flames to contact the steel surface to distribute the heat properly. Without the flames, you wont get optimum cooking temps. They dont work great on gas cook tops either, unless they are high BTU burners. This is why I use it on an outdoor cooker meant for fish fry's and crab boils.

As the others have said, you can use chunks but some may need to be split. You will be unable to get the smoke tray lid on otherwise. You could leave it off but if the chunks are too big then the water pan won't fit right either. I often prefer chunks because this smoker eats through chips very quickly.

I have a smooth ceramic top stove and it works great. I love the flat bottom.

No. It has circular ridges where a burner would hit. I have used with electric and gas stove tops with no problrm.

I have only used it on a gas range and it does good there. I can only guess it would work well on ceramic stovetop. Maybe another Amazon user can help you with that. It is a nice looking sturdy pan with good heavy lid and handle, cooks good and cleans up easily and a bargain price.

yes, I have a ceramic cook top and it works very well. I like the pan very much and will probably buy the set when I can afford it.

I have a glass/ceramic stove top and we leave the glass covers on top of the stove when we use the Oven. There has been no problem.

I used it quite a few times on a ceramic top with no issues. It seems to take a lot of heating, so the stove does get hot, but no issues.

I'm not sure why it says not for use on ceramic cooktops. My cousin that told me about steam canners uses hers on a ceramic cooktop and it works fine. I use mine on coil burners and love it!

I don't worry about the build-up inside the smoker since I don't do any fish in it...and if I did, the residue would have to be bad enough to drop onto my cooking foods before I'd clean it. The grates-I usually bring my smoker to a little higher temp than I'll cook at & let the grates get hot, then just clean them off with a grill brush. It's actually pretty low-maint cooking once you get the hang of it.

i advise using the smoker on the stovetop and not using liquid smoke. I've achieved successful results utilizing the unit on top of the stove.

If you are roasting it correctly you would have no smoke. But using an exhaust fan above your stove is a wise move. I have never had any smoke come out of my machine. But the heat from it does have my smoke detector go off.

Yes, I agree it works best on the large burner of my ceramic top stove. The rubber handle is great and it cooks very evenly. We use it for quick grilling when there's not time to fire up the "grill".

As I remember reading, I think it's not a suggested method. There might be a model for a ceramic top stove now. Same with cooking using cast iron. My daughter does it but it's not suggested.

I don't use the top burners only the oven portion and it seems to work well. I have used it several time for baking and keeping things warm.
