I will add to my earlier response to this thread that we use glass tea kettle and 2-qt glass sauce pan atop wood stoves with zero problem.
We've heated with wood for 20 years. I use a stainless teakettle and refill it once or twice a day. Just don't overfill, or it will boil out once it reaches temperature. The hot water is handy, if I end up not using it, I fill my humidor with it.
A humidor is any vessel you leave on the stove top to evaporate water into the air. We used the cast humidors for years, they would get funky looking mineral residue (even on the outside) that was a pain to remove. Got tired of babysitting them. Now I pick up granite-ware roasters second hand. They look fine, work great and are readily (and inexpensively) replaceable.
