I want to put it under the hood of a car to create the illusion of a smoking engine... is this a hazard?

I don't see any danger of having it under the hood of a car but I don't know how you would operate it.

I tried to put it under my Halloween costume to make it look like ghost fog, it doesn't produce enough fog to come out of the costume.

Yes, this insulation can be used under the carpet, the headliner, the hood or anywhere to reduce noise in a vehicle. This can also be used for other non-automotive related purposes as well.

Note that I'm replying to an adult, as an adult. If you used this in a sealed chamber, it would be dangerous. Otherwise, some intelligent common sense is all that's required. I, in an effort to be overcautious, in a larger, high-ceilinged home, tested this stove, sitting on top of our gas range, with the hood fan on full. I'm skeptical about this little two burner being any more emitting than the standard gas range. All flame emits carbon monoxide to one degree or another. Don't test the limits, use common sense. Enjoy.

It depends on what you use it for, but for some tricks yes. It's a bit risky, but if it's far enough from your body (such as a hummer card routine) it should be fine.

Safe yes. But this product is more for hard to access area like the under carriage/frame or deep in engine bay. The hood is an area you would presumably want to sand away, then clean and prime for future painting. The rust converter merely stops the rust from progressing and that protects the remaining metal. But it does'nt look pretty.

I wouldn't recommend it. Because it could be fire-hazard, or treat it as one , just to be on the safe side. �

I've never tried it that way, I have a chimney starter and always use that .... I may try it the next time to see if it will work bcuz I hate lighter fluid......

Totally not a good idea. It is a powder and will fall through the screen and coat the heating coils and possibly the drive motor works. At best causing the coils to burn out or even start a fire. I keep mine in a big salt shaker and it is good sprinkled on afterward in the bowl.

I don't see why not. I carried it back from the gas station without fumes accumulating in the car. I think the CA standards prevent leakage of fuel and fumes. You certainly would want to brace it so it doesn't roll around.

Clearly the people who said this IS fireproof did not test it...It's made out of recycled plastic bottles and it burns, self-sustaining, at the temperature of a plastic bottle. This is not safe to use in an engine compartment for any motorized vehicle.

It melted right off when it was in the interior of my car. I wouldnt risk using it on the exterior

Yes. Totally safe. In fact having the element exposed let's the drippings fall onto them and the pan underneath to produce some great smokey flavor.

I would not install this over the roof top exposing it to exterior elements. run it through your addict if possible.

As said in my earlier answer, I am fundamentally disappointed with the operation of the engine. (The electrical contacts are in the coal car, instead of the engine, but the coal car is not heavy enough to hold the wheels on the rails, to make good contact.) But I like the way it LOOKS so I kept it as a stationary display item on my layout (like a statue). So I don't know and don't care whether it will make smoke. Sorry.

Ouch! Those rats will chew on anything including my paint tubes when one got in the house. I don't know if it is safe to put it under the hood. But you could spray it liberally on a cloth, put the cloth under the hood and then remember to take it out before you start the car.

I believe you can. But, the heat from the engine may cause this product to come loose. The product is also made out of a flammable material and may not be a good idea for an engine compartment. I hope this helps. They make a fireproof eggshell material that is used in an engine compartment. RSA

Not going to work well for car hoods. They have an extremely oily base that could create paint problems. You could put them beside the car, and they might deter the cats.
