Can you use this on an open fire when camping?

This has only been used inside on a stove. Sorry can't answer your question.

I wouldn't. I don't think the enamel can handle open flame You probably want to stick to Lodge cast iron for outdoor fires.

I use my pot over a portable propane burner when I make my two hour spaghetti sauce for canning. This is similar to an open flame, but pot is very durable. I have seen it used in a buried charcoal pit with hot rocks in the ground, but not sure about an open campfire. Hope this helps.

I have only used it on a propane stove and it works well for that. From my experience over the years, I would say that it will work on a camp fire but would reduce the life of it because it is made of lightweight aluminum.

No, I do not think it is safe to use on a burner or grill. It is oven and microwave safe, but not on an open flame.

It will give off plenty of heat just like any open fire. The more wood you put on, the more heat.

The pot is a beautiful brushed stainless steel like a cooking pot. Yes, I think you could use it directly on an open flame, but then I would expect it would begin to look like a cooking pot!

You can, but when you burn the wood or what ever you burn. It will make the glass all dirty. This is meant for gas or propane fires.

Yes. You can put this directly over the campfire or on a pocket rocket stove.

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

Yes of course. This is a full cast iron product, any and all full cast iron can be used over a campfire as long as you know how to set it up so your food wont fall off if the coals/logs shift position. As long as it is stable, then yes it can easily be used just like a griddle with a bit of an edge to keep the food/grease inside.

Yes you can use it in a tent but like any heater especially a propane one it will get VERY hot and if you tip it over it WILL catch a tent on fire pretty quick. I have used this in a tent and it did well, but I let it run for awhile to heat up the tent and I turned it off right before I get into my sleeping bag and call it a night. Also like any other propane heater just make sure you have plenty of ventilation in case of possible carbon monoxide.

Absolutely not. The open flame would present an extreme hazard of your tent catching fire, and any incomplete combustion would produce carbon monoxide gas that could kill you.

I personally would never use it for camping or backing packing. The item is intended for use with lapidary, casting, and other environments where you need a continuous low temp flame. It will leak if you were to try and travel with it full of fuel. I suppose you could use it as an emergency lamp in your home and it would serve well for that.

Yes. If you are camping, and heating water over a fire, be careful not to let the pan go dry.

I'd have to see the application.. I wouldn't use it near a completely open flame but if draped over something as an insulator without being in contact with the flame I wouldn't see why not...it handles the temperatures from my Firebox with ease and only slight discoloration..
