Does anyone know if this would affect the stones if used in a soapstone stove?

Soapstone: Is impervious to liquids, including acids and alkalis Is impervious to bacteria Resists high temperature Is easy to work with wood-working tools Absorbs heat faster than any other material and radiates heat for a longer period of time Requires minimal maintenance. Here is a link to a stove company you may be able to get more from them http://www.soapstone-woodstove.com

I would say no. Under Important Safeguards, #9 says do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven (it doesn't say stoneware, but I assume that's what it means).

I think using any cast iron may scratch a glass-top stove. I would check with the maker of the stove for sure

Yes. The DMT products are dead flat and the diamond surface is much harder than the whetstone or oilstone. And it will not damage the DMT stone.

I have never used this Product on the heat of a stove. My industrial chemical background tells me that it would not cause a problem as it is a stable compound. If your stove top is porcilin and it is not turning yellow then at least I would noy worry about Sheffield as you usually only use small amounts of several coats of the product. While I undestand your concern I doubt if anyone could answer you in complete confidence as they lack more specific info about your stove, where the the patch will be added & other more specific product use placement. Plus it is not all that expensive to give Sheffield a try. NDJohn I have never used this Product on the heat of a stove.

I was wondering the same thing, although I cannot imagine there being a problem with this on an electric stove, here is another reference:http://fabulouskitchenstuff.com/fabulous-heat-diffusers-for-an-electric-stove/

From what I know of glass stovetops, I wouldn't recommend this, as it may damage your stove.

I think I have seen post on forms about using them on stoves but do not remember any on wood stoves. I do not have a wood stove so am not sure. The best would be to try the manufactures web site and see if it has forms on wood stoves and their results, sorry if this is not helpful.

Oil is best but water with drop of dish soap will work. It's a decent stone.

No, not well. We applied three coats to our concrete counter tops and it did nothing but make the water bead a little. We ended up using tung oil and that made the biggest difference. Soapstone is meant to be oiled and resists stains better than concrete naturally.

You would have to closely follow the instructions. I just wasn't able to keep up with it. It upset the balance of my tank but did clear it. I have 3 stones I no longer use b/c I am not diligent in the upkeep required to properly use the stone.

It is definitely stone, but is more porous than marble. It works marvelously, retaining heat long after use. However, you need to follow the safety and cleaning instructions. The stone is very dense and heavier than it looks. Certain foods are more difficult to clean off the stone after use and may stain. Soaps are not recommended, as the stone is porous. If you feel it is necessary to tackle any staining, there are likely safe, non-soap alternatives out there (perhaps, baking soda and vinegar?), but I have NOT attempted any cleaning myself, except scrubbing with hot water. I DEFINITELY recommend purchasing the stone, as it does what it does perfectly. One of my favorite uses is to reheat leftover pizza and sandwiches. The soggy or even greasy dough crisps up and there is less opportunity to burn or dry out the rest of the dish.

It sure does help, you could put anything in to deflect heat. But the stone works great!

Possibly? I would test that hypothesis on a non flamable surface first, because the entire stove will probably get to hot for safe, long turn use.

No, this is marble which will dull your knives or the knives may scrstch the stone. Use this as a pastry board and buy a wood or plastic cutting board.

We have always used it in the oven otherwise the stone is too hot to deal with. Don't forget your pot holders.

Yes, I would guess that is what caused it. The glue itself did not touch the top of the stones, only the metal cups that they sit in, so the vapor, is what I am assuming, did the damage.
