Can I make chocolate fondue directly in my fondue set?

All of the recipes I've seen requires me to make the fondue on a double boiler and then just pour it on the fondue pot to keep it warm. My fondue set has an alcohol burner, can I make fondue directly on it?

If so, how can I do it without burning the chocolate or ruining the recipe?



I would also appreciate it if you can site some example of chocolate fondue recipes. =]Can I make chocolate fondue directly in my fondue set?
This recipe says you can I have always melted it in a double boiler.

Sometime try a cheese fondue,there fun also.
