The instructions indicate this should not be placed on top of stove for use. If I place it on a thick wood block on my stove would there be a problem?

no, that'd be fine. I thin, it means not on stove top element that's on. like someone's that dumb?! but if they had to say it, I guess probably so.

That's the way I use it. I have a stove top cover made of word and have no problem

I do not know. I've used it carefully on my glass stovetop and it was no problem. It is big and heavy and we usually use it on our grill for pancake breakfast on the deck.

I wouldn't use it that way. It's designed to have hot liquid dispensed into it, not have heat directly applied to it from a stove top. I think the glass might crack/break.

I have not tried to use my pan on top of the stove, only because I do not want marks left on it from the fire off the burners, but I have placed it in the oven several times and it still looks great after each use. hope this helps!

Not possible to use it over gas stove. would be too hot for the frame and most likely melt the plastic handle on the base.

I've all ways burned wood in the stove. There is no need for a base. I've used it on wooden and plastic picnic tables with no issues. I've even left a sheet of paper under it just to see if it would get hot enough to ignite and it did not. If you are using wood as your heat source just make sure not to over fill it, you don't need a lot.

I would make sure you put the hot pan on top of a pot holder. Otherwise, you will burn the wood

I wouldn't recommend putting it on thick. It will make it sticky. Spray it on and push it into the wood. That should be all you need to do. As long as you have all areas covered, it should be fine. There really is no need to put it on thick! Hope this helps.

I only use mine on top of the stove. I am sure you should NOT put it in the oven as the handle would melt.

I would say yes only if you have a very small and controlled fire, like a fire log. It is high enough off the ground not to cause issues, but, keep it covered when burning, and do not leave unattended.

It was recommended not to use on glass top stove, because if the pot extends beyond the burner area, it could crack the surrounding glass. The glass around the outside of the "burner" on those glass top stoves is not tempered in the same way as the glass on top of the heating element.I have a glass top stove in my kitchen and I'm afraid to use any pot too large for the burners. So I used my canner pot on the side burner of my husband's gas grill. The only disadvantage of that is that I have to use it outside.

I have a flat top stove. I have placed the 1/4 cup on a burner that is still warm to melt butter. Cup was fine. I wouldn't place it on the stove with a burner on.

I installed mine into a 1-3/16" thick butcher block counter top purchased from IKEA. It seems likely that it can be installed into any type counter top firm enough to hold the weight of the stove and cooking pots, etc. There is little danger to the counter top from burner heat but clearance at the sides, back and above are required.

I've been using this on a 'regular cooking grill' and have had not problems at all. I leave the stone in the metal rack, and just place it on the grill. I haven't had any troubles at all.

Yes this will work just fine. We use a glass cooktop stove and have had no problems the entire time we've owned it.

I think "can not" is too strong. The product description says "you should take additional care in handling if using on glass top stove." That's because of the delicate porcelain finish. My mother has used similar on her glasstop burner for decades with no harm done to either the pot or the burner.

We are using ours directly on top of the wood stove. I don't see any reason why you can't use it on the hearth. Depending on where you place it, I don't know if it will get warm enough to steam.
