What is the diameter of the burner? Can it support 3 gallons?

The diameter of the outer ring of the burner is 8 inches. The specs say the burner can support 25lbs. I routinely use a 4 gal cookpot with a diameter of 9-9 1/2 inches and boil 3 gal of water for over an hour with no problems. I hope you find this helpful.

Yes it can. Top of burner is a sturdy, flat approx 10" wide surface. We have a large soup pot we use on it. One thing to consider: the actual area that will heat a pot is only about 4-5" across. So for a large pot (large diameter) it's VERY important to make sure that it's bottom is a great conductor of heat. Our pots are AllClad induction-ready pans and they work fabulously. We also have an off-brand stainless steel wok with a wide base we use and it works well to. So it doesn't have to be an expensive pot. Try the magnet test. If a magnet sticks REALLY well to the bottom, then it should work just fine. Yes it can. Top of burner is a sturdy, flat approx 10" wide surface. We have a large soup pot we use on it.

No problem if you have a pot that is big enough for 3 gallons. I have a large stainless steel pot and have cooked lots of soups and stews for large groups. The pot can set on the whole top of the unit (black area on this picture). Hope this helps.

the diameter is between 8-9 inches.The diameter across the whole surface is around 10". i typically use a large pot for pasta. A 3 gallon pot should be no problem

Great Question - My 8" Burner that came out of my stove and the New one going back in was 8 3/4" Diameter. I guess it was close enough. Mine is working just great now, the old one had a connector wire burned out but I went ahead and replaced it with the new one. Wife is Happy Now.

it's a good three inches in diameter... a good amount of space to heat up!!

I don't know exactly how big the container is gallon wise. It does not appear to be 3 gallons. It is about the size of a shoe box. You wouldn't want it any bigger I don't think because it would get too smelly. We usually empty it before it is full otherwise if it sits too long it leaks and smells.

This burner works great with a normal sauce pan but will not support the weight of 5 gallons. That would be dangerous in my opinion.

Hi the opening is 6 and three quarter inches. I do not know how wide the 3 gallon water is

I have a three burner grill and the dimensions are 56.5 L x 25.0 W x 48.4 H, the 60in fits perfectly on mine.

We use it to cook lobsters and have probably put 30 lbs of lobsters with it half full of water. Hope that helps. It is very heavy duty and sturdy. Not our first burner but definitely the best so far.

The diameter of the burner part is 4". Additional info: from the center of the burner to the air vent is 7 7/8".

There is no measurement listed on the bucket itself. The description indicates 3.5 gallons which seems about right

The whole surface is flat so it will fit. 14" is too big. 10.25 is the maximum. The burner itself is a bit less than that. If you put a 12" pot on, it would be out to the edges and it would be beyond the burner itself.I think the sales literature is the same for all models so go with the operators manual.

The 3 gallon crock is pretty big actually. Probably about 18" tall. WAY bigger than what my wife needed for making sauerkraut and pickles and such. She downsized to the 1 gallon crock.

Chances are it will work ok as is. The burner has a specified pressure and nozzle size. The burner instructions should show them.

It fits, but it covers the whole burner. I love it when there are a lot of guests:) it does get pretty heavy when it is 3/4 full. Good luck.it has done great for me.

I don't know the diameter but it fits perfectly on my electric stove top. I have a ceramic top with one burner that has 3 sizes and it fits the medium size portion of the burner.

It is huge. It is probably 2.5 feet in diameter. It will cover 2 burners. Check the dimensions if they are listed for height also. It is a great pot though. A quality item and much better than anything aluminum.
