Will the bottom burn if used on a camp stove, like an Esbit? A different brand I used previously burned.

Hello,Thank you for your interest in TOAKS!Titanium pot can be used over the camp stove with water or other liquid in it. And should last long time. Frying with old can make the temperature go up to 260 degree celcius, and can shorten the life time of the pot.Please let us know if you have any questions. Best regards,TOAKS Outdoor Customer Service

I guess, it depends on the stove too. On the MSR isopropane stove it did not burn at all. I used both already: the cattle and the fry pan.

Can you describe in more detail what you mean by "burned?" The pot is titanium so it has a very high melting point. If you cook over a dirty flame it will get black like anything.

just be careful of flames going up the sides and melting the plastic on the handle material. I used it on a msr pocket rocket which is high heat and no problems. So far it has been a great pot. You might consider using it with something like a Caldera Cone Sidewinder for best performance with an alcohol burner.

Sorry it's 2 months later but up until yesterday on used on gas stove. Used on electric stove for first time and would not recommend. Bottom is not flat. Works great on gas stoves.

We used ours with our Coleman single burner, didn't have any problems with the coating coming off at all on our entire trip and must have been used at least 8-10 times. Perhaps we didn't have the heat up as high as the other people? But we did heat all our food through and made coffee (we forgot the kettle!) and heated beans - we certainly didn't want any of the things we heated to be anywhere near 300 degrees though. We also put one of the pans over an actual firepit fire on a cooking grill thing with fold out legs - worked great on that too. All I can say is we're still using ours and it looks fine to me.

I haven't used mine in a long time but I not recall it having a fat bottom. I would not recommend it on an electric stove.

I don't know what a tent stove is but i would think any stove in inside it would set the tent on fire. Love the tent though it was the hit at the camp ground. We had showings as everyone asked to see the inside.

Since the bottom has slats in it you can use other things such as small sticks, vasoline soaked cotton balls or a small metal cap with denatured alcohol in it. I must admit though the esbit fuel is cheap, environmentally safe and easy to carry. Unless I was using sticks I wouldn't really want an alternative fuel. To answer your question, yes you can get creative and use other fuels.

This is a genuine Esbit brand stove and it has not been discontinued. Unfortunately, some Amazon Sellers have allegedly shipped substitute products to customers in the past. On a couple of occasions, this has prompted Amazon's customer service team to suspend the product from sale while the complaints were investigated. Purchasing the item directly from Amazon should help ensure that customers receive a genuine Esbit brand product.

For safety, you shouldn't allow the bottom burner to remain on. I don't think the bottom of the thermal carafe is designed for the heat.

HI I would say it depends if your portable stove gets very hot on the botton I would imagine that it might burn the top of the counter top. hope this helps

The bottom is flat, but the brand name is engraved in the center of it. It's not large but it might have a negative effect if the entire thing needs to rest flat on the burner. Emmet R says it works great :) you should listen to him.

Jazzer, you'll want to purchase the Esbit Ultralight Folding Stainless Steel Pot Stand that tightly holds the burner and allows pots to sit on top. I used mine on a multi-day backpacking trip and it worked quite well.

I have a high BTU burner on my gas cooktop and it works fine, I would see no difference using it on a campfire.

I use mine on an electric stove, and even though it isn't completely flat on the bottom it still works perfectly well. I don't know if the bottom of the smoker has warped slightly since I've used it so much, or if my stove burner is maybe not completely flat, but it doesn't seem to matter. I have no problems with it

Not on a camp stove. When at the edge of the coals of a larger fire the handles do get hot though. Use a few layers of heavy duty aluminum foil for a lid, it works great.

If you read my review, you know that I have two of them now. The old one I fixed...well I make it work. The new one works just fine.I use pots much larger than the diameter of the burner but also use a chef's pan and a three quart sauce pan. When using much larger pots, then entire burner heats its 'footprint' on the bottom of the pot. Usually, when a burner is not doing this, the burner itself has gone bad.So, technically I said yes to your question. However, a very large pot should not be used on this device. A very large pot holds too much water and ingredients and the weight alone will eventually cause damage to this device. I wish you the best.HJ If you read my review, you know that I have two of them now. The old one I fixed...well I make it work.

Actually I have yet to use this item. However I would recommend against using any flammable heat source in a tent. The Esbit fuel tabs heat to extreme temps approx. 1200 F so please use caution.
