Yes you can, just turn the stove on medium high heat and put the coals directly on it. About 5-7 minutes a side works good on my stove but just watch them and when they are completey

I went to Walgreens and got a cheap $10 coil burner so I didn't have to light these on my stove. I throw them on till one side is glowing red flip it then wait for it all to glow. Usually takes like 10 minutes to light three.

Yes, you can light the Coconaras on a stove. I have an induction top. I would recommend lighting on this type of stove top, as it leaves stains on the stove top. Those stains do come out, but the elbow grease needed isn't worth the effort. I light this on a little electric eye (hot plate) from my college days. I leave the coals on the eye until they are glowing red then put them on my hookah. 2-3 coals should do the trick, depending on the size of your bowl. I also have a wind cover for my hookah. It keeps the heat of the coals more on the bowl and less in the air, but it's not a necessity. I hope this helps... cheers! Yes, you can light the Coconaras on a stove. I have an induction top.

Yes, you can. Just turn the burner on about 75% heat and put your coals on it. Let them sit for about 5 minutes until the bottom half is glowing red, flip and repeat. Once the whole coal is red you are ready to go.

A regular lighter wouldn't be very effective on these. They take about 3 minutes or so on the stove.

Hi Kathy, to be honest I have not used the stove yet, since we had a relatively mild winter until now. (I'm in Mexico)My idea however is to fire the stove with gas (LPG), since we have not much wood around where I'm living. Sorry for not being able to help you more.

I really do not know the answer, mine were in a chandelier. Could they cause a fire? Maybe you are courting danger.

Sorry, but no info here about your gas stove. Most have pilot lights so you don't get hurt lighting them by hand.

I'm not too sure what you mean by let it stay lit. With this setup you would probably be better off using a speed light and they ll will go off as you trigger them.

They are folded up, so you have to carefully unfold them, and then attach a block of 'wax' (the stuff that burns). Not difficult, just a little tedious, each one takes maybe 2-3 minutes to prepare. We did it in advance so they were ready to be lit together.

I would suggest that you at least light them off in an open field of open back yard. I have a small back yard and the houses are close together. I lited one and set it off, almost landed on the neighbors roof, pretty scarey!

There is a converter for flame light to regular light bulb, can you use these to get a brighter light?

I love mine. They all arrived in perfect shape. I have them in an antique hurricane lamp and they flicker like a flame in the window. But I only use them in the evening and not all the time so I'm not sure how many hours but it seems to me they burn a long time. I still have several left and when they are all done, I will order more.

Try LED candles and see if that works. Those tend to not heat up as quickly.

You should be able to, but they incinerate quickly. I hope your timer works. Mine didn't, and they won't take it back or do anything about it.

I would say beware of these. I had to throw them away because 2 of them caught fire as I was using them just to cook on the stovetop.

They should light just as easily. Double check the tip in installed right. Gas on. Few clicks. And then give it a few to see if it warms up. The fire may not be entirely visible.

You can stick them in the ground and light them, or put some sand or small gravel in a flower pot and stick them into that. You just need to be careful about having them around combustible materials.

You can ignite the gas side with the burners but need a starter on the charcoal side. We use those paraffin/sawdust squares or "fat wood".

Buy the right fuel cannister: Coleman Butane / Propane Mix Fuel It screws into the 'stove'. Turn the nob and light it with a flame source. Super easy to use, though you need a flat place to put it on. It works for all size pots, though larger ones can be tricky as it's a very small flame area. I've heard that some cheaper pots will actually burn a bit because of the small flame area. It is very small folded down and unfolding it is as easy as an umbrella.
