Is it non flammable also? it was recommended to me for an outdoor fireplace/bar b q. We cook in this, so I am concerned about fumes when heated.

There is no warning notes on the lable. I don't know what your purpose is but I don't think this is the type of product to use if you are sealing stone or somthing that will become hot. I wouldn't think it would hold up.

We use ours for 1/2 hour or so at a time and have no problem with fumes. There is very little noticeable smoke or odor. But if one used it continuously, there might be a need for some external ventilation.

As far as I know, the glass itself is not flammable. Mine is being used with a fire pit with propane fuel.

No, their lawyers wouldn't approve of any use on surfaces which are flammable which would include wood. I ignore it (on wood) but a wise precaution would be to put a thin bit or reflective insulation (found at Home Depot or Lowes for various applications), maybe aluminum foil would work but double up on it. Best idea yet, put a timer on it where at least you have to reset it if you forget it's on which I do frequently. I works very well but does get hot. I recommend it's careful use.

We used our Mr. Heater in a camp trailer, but my husband is a fireman and I work in the Safety field so we too had reservations about this heater. First we burned a complete bottle of propane so to burn off any "new" smell, which we did not notice any. We also did not notice any fumes during use, but we always have some sort of ventilation. It is not direct flame and has a guard over the front, and if tipped over, it could probably ignite items if left for more than a few seconds. I would definitely place it on a solid surface. The heat source maintained our 28' trailer in 20 degree temps at a comfortable level. Reviews I read indicated this heater was used by many in a tent. Kids just add another dimension.

I'm using it for an outdoor gas fire pit. Works fine, but I'm experimenting with the gas vent to avoid blue flame.

It is a foam mattress so it will burn. I don't know if it would be considered highly flammable.

I don't see why not considering that it is not to be used when there is a flame or residual heat. It is meant to keep the cold air from coming down the chimney and it does a great job on that note. It also helps the fireplace look cleaner when not in use. I would call the manufacturer if you are uncomfortable with the information provided by the seller.

since it is electric (mine was) there is no flame...i found it to grill quite well...i had a terrible problem cleaning it...so i sold it...

This is not safe to use indoors. It is supposed to be used outdoors. The grill will create smoke just like a gas barbecue. It doesn't burn gas, so it doesn't have harmful exhaust, but I wouldn't use it inside due to smoke from cooking (meat drippings will smoke when contact is made with parts inside the grill.) We have owned and used this grill for 4 years.

None really. Maybe a little warm. It says you can use it in a zero clearance fireplace. I'll have to tell you that the flame effect is perfect and you do get usable heat. Like any electric heater it uses a lot of current, but I think it's worth it.

Ours is on a large stone patio. Like all open fires sparks can be dangerous if surrounding material is flammable. Certain wood spark more such as cedar and fir.

Didn't think it was flammable (essentially it's dirt), but went on the company website - they have posted a MSDS (material safety data sheet): http://howtousediatomaceousearth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Diatomaceous-Earth-MSDS.pdf -- the flammability rating is 0 (which generally means it will not burn) - hope this helps

I have found that it is truly not a heat source, as the flame is pretty but in the open air it does not produce heat as a source for comfort. It is a nice and the unit is attractive. Amazon price is MUCH less than any other place is what I found and it was Prime shipping when I purchased. Please follow the directions exactly ... do not tighten until instructions tell you to.

Not really. I think this is better for an outdoor fire, note the long handle. It is also made of cast iron, not cast aluminum. I think cast iron is far superior and gives you an even toast without burning. We use these over our fire pit and they are great. Season them and they virtually are non- stick. In my experience, this is a really good product

Ours has never produced smoke, but of course with us sitting right next to it and monitoring the cooking, I would assume that if something would burn on it, it would produce smoke. We normally use ours outside, but have used it indoors with no concerns.

I wouldn't use it too close to a fireplace. It is metal and will get hot to the touch.
