Dumb question: How do I use this? Do I burn it in the stove?Told you, dumb question :)

forgot to mention - this is not a magic powder ....it may take several uses to clean well-- just make sure to use with dry wood -- if trying to use with unseasoned wood it may never clean very well

yup you burn it in the stove. Suppost to use every time you put wood in but about a teaspoon a day should work, if its an outside boiler- use about 2 teaspoons a day. should work well.

yes , just make sure the fire you have in your stove-fire place is a " hot " fire . you may want to add when the fire is burning hot and fast. i use one scoope from and old powdered ice tea canister...it's about a table spoon -past experience the other brand works a lot better---- rutland dry creosote remover

I throw a scoop of it in on hot coals, close the door & let it sit for a few mins. Then build my fire as usual. It doesn't take alot, just 1 scoop every 3 or 4 fires....seems to work great.

The instructions indicate you sprinkle it on a medium fire. Ok, that doesn't make any sence to me what so ever. I simply place the powder on a flat board and spread it out nicely. Then I insert the board carefully on top of the fire from the side. It seems to work well, and I don't get that crispy burnt hand feeling. Wish you the best.

Yes I use about three scoops this stuff is great. Just make sure you have a hot fire then put it on top of the wood in the stove. Also this was not a dumb question thanks for asking and have a great day

Yes, throw it in the fire. I put it in after the fire is going well. And yes, I like Creosote Destroyer. It works for me. I'm the kind of person that might sometimes burn wood that was not prime fuel, which makes me concerned about build up in my chimney. I burn a lot of construction debris.

No we just put it on the burner. We love it. We have a gas stove. No more hot spots. Very even heat.

Use this as you would any other pan - on stovetop or in the oven...be sure you have enough liquid in it so it doesnot catch and burn on the bottom. This is not a very heavy pan, so I use it like any regular pot. No special temperature considerations.

I didn't try it once I read instructions that said not to use it. Wasn't going to potentially damage my stove to check if instructions were incorrect.

best to talk to the manufacturer. but why try to use it indoors when you have an oven. it is really meant and more fun to use it outdoors.

Go to char boil.com. There is a ton of info out there. I have used mine every weekend since I've owned it . Buy a good thermometer and go by it. Get a bunkbed basket put it in the bottom of the basket if you cook larger cuts of meat keeps cooking more even. Less heat in the bottom. listen, put a ham, a turkey, porkbutt roast, sirloin roast . Or any thing you can imagine. This thing Rocks. I love it . I have also given 2 oil fryers away. P.S try pork butt roast. it will get eaten way before it ever gets pulled. AWESOME. Hoped this helped

I have to agree with Michael...I sent mine back as it was scratched up, looked used and every time I plugged it in the controller smoked (I tried 8-10 times). Was afraid to even give it a whirl, so wouldn't recommend. My suggestion: invest in a 1600 watt portable induction cooktop and use your own clad induction ready cookware. With those you can use them as a slow cooker. It's the solution I finally came up with.I never took the opportunity to measure volume since, as I said, the controller smoked, even after leaving it plugged in for 30+ minutes 8-10 times. It did look to hold 4 qts. to the top, but would advise using only 2-3 qts., just in case it boiled over.

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 have one of mine on my stove. be thoughtful if it is gas. well, with electric, too. hehe

yes I really messed mine up by ignoring those directions - but it was by cooking a sweet mixture that boiled over - sugary substance was trapped between the ridges of the pot bottom - reached an unusually high temp and pock marked the surfaceI'm now considering using this pot as a canner - thinking that it will only contain water and I'll watch carefully so it doesn't boil over (if it were to do so I would quickly remove the pot from the cooktop) - here's hoping . . . !!!

Ah this answer was important to me. I wanted to use it on my Lodge wok but I need it while cooking. Thanks

use very carefully. it cooks very hot and tends to burn things. be careful when cleaning--lots of very sharp edges inside.

Ugh. What a question to ask about a WOOD BURNING stove. Humanity is doomed.

I really do not understand why burn it. But I do not burn it. I just got it and use it, it is good quality at least that is my experience.
