Bodum Stainless-Steel Fondue with Glass Insert

A fantastic set!
This is the best set I have seen so far. The glass insert makes it easy and quick to change from oil to cheese or chocolate. Clean up couldn't be easier because everything is dishwasher safe. The review states that cheese fondue is best prepared on the stove and then poured into the glass insert, but I have melted it in the glass every time and it has always been perfect.

It's a very stylish fondue pot, but...
I bought this fondue pot a few months ago. It's very stylish and impresses our guests when we use it. However there are two things I don't like about it:

1. Because it's a fairly tall pot, sometimes we have to stand up to check on our food, or untangle our forks:)

2. Maybe it's because of the sterno cans we use, but we never get enough heat. We finally brought down and used three sterno cans at once and it worked great!

While the pot is tall, it is a nice feature if you are using oil as it protects from splatters. I do like that it comes with a lid and a bottom to protect your table. The glass insert for chocolate and cheese is nice also. Cleanup is a snap as we put everything in the dishwasher.

My two disappointments are minor. And maybe I'm just not using the right kind of heat source. Maybe I should try something else?

We used this pot to make cheese and chocolate. I had no idea how to make cheese fondue and I was running out of time, so I just dropped a few chunks of cheese, added wine and spice, poured water into the metal container and let it do its own thing. In just 20 mintues the fondue was ready to be devoured. Because of the glass container, the cheese didnt burn to the sides and stayed at a good temperature. After the main course, I cleaned the glass container and prepared chocolate fondue - in only 10 minutes.

The fuel burning container has a lid that allows you to control the flame and, thus, the temperature. One of the reviewers complained about not having enough flame. I purchased Bodum Fuel (which I so strongly...
