Bought for a molten part in family, his reception was very surprised to its small size and I immediately bought a second electric (we were 12) This remark, I was perfectly satisfied. It is a beautiful orange color; the lid can be used or not, and avoids any splashes. The tripod pot seem like very good quality and the wooden tray that allows to put the fuel dough receptacle ensures security for all. No direct contact with the table. For a fondue party, I find more fun using a conventional and electrical equipment. In fact, my second purchase (electric) was intended for children to a safety issue. I am also pleased and have also evaluated separately.
