I have a cast iron Creuset-style pot that I could use for this, so thank
you for this explanation. Do you know whether this method would lead to
different results than straightforward stewing in tat same pot, using a
thingie underneath to reduce the heat from the flame?

IME, using that thingie plus a very small flame is just right for
keeping the temperature at/just below simmering. I do need to keep an
eye on it, though. And I wouldn't want to leave the pot unattended for
many hours like I would dare with a crockpot.
 
I'm going to have to try this one. :)
I hate turning on my oven, but do like meatloaf!

I'll have to get a new crockpot. I gave mine away.....
