will use on a deck or out door carpet work for this bowl or will catch fire?

It is elevated with the base. Even though you can make a huge fire I would be afraid of burns.

Of course you can never be too careful. Our porch is stone/concrete. I do not recall that the bottom gets hot (the base, I mean.) I think it's important that whatever you put it on not be flammable, AND that it be an even, steady place so it doesn't tip over. Good luck!

I have it on my deck, so far nothing major has happened, however, the cover most definitely lets out pieces of burning wood when the fire pops and cracks. I wouldn't put a carpet under it. Also for those wondering, we moved it to our yard one night and it definitely burned and killed the grass underneath, so it gets extremely hot. I love this little fire pit though, and I'm pleased with the purchase.

I have no idea about a deck. I am pretty sure carpet would not be a good choice. I would recommend concrete or ceramic tiles to protect deck or carpet. Watch out for embers on carpet.

I believe you could use it safely on a deck. I wouldn't trust any bowl on a carpet, unless you think you can control flying embers which may escape from the grated top. I just wouldn't tempt fate. The fire bowl was a very good purchase, but I use it on the ground.

I don't see why it would, it is made out of rubber type material. I don't have it on carpet at my house, but I don´t think it would.

My guess is that the plastic tank might melt in heat or crack in cold and the bowl part although stainless steel might get hot or freeze in cold. I personally would buy something that's made for outdoor use and skip this.

It's designed to work on non carpeted flooring. If the pile of the carpet is too thick it will not work well.

If you use this item on a wooden deck or other combustible surface, or any surface not entirely resistant to high heat, you must use a non-flammable, heat-resistant material such as concrete pavers, brick or stone between Fire Pit and surface

No hearth pad is needed. The legs keep it away from the floor. I used mine on carpeting. There are no sparks to fly out the front, since it is gas/propane, so there is no danger of something catching fire in front of it.

Yes, as long as its use is "short term". It's really a safety issue and conditional upon: 1.) its placement under the carpet and whether it would be subjected to constant foot and/or other types of transport traffic(heavy or light), and, 2.) whether this is a long term installation in lieu of a properly installed electrical outlet at the end location of the "cord under the carpet." (NOTE: This action falls under the Electrical Safety Code issues of unsafe practices...generally, disapproved by Electrical Inspectors and truly Licensed Home Inspectors due to possibility of a heavy falling object piercing the cable/cord and shorting out the circiut and/or causing a fire due to arcing or sparking.)

We use it outside but the wheels are plastic and should be fine on wood or carpet.

This will go anywhere, carpet, wood or any type of floor. The heat blows out of the front top. We have our TV sitting on it so we can role it for viewing.

You can use the fire dancer on your wooden deck ..it doesn't get hot on the bottom as there are no real coals in the unit. It's basically a propane flame on a ring in a substance that does not burn. Puts out heat like a campfire but no cleanup later. Do not use indoor. Hope this helps.

Absolutely it can be placed on carpet with no fear of fire hazard. I have had mine on the carpet for at least one year.

We use in on our concrete driveway but I can't imagine the deck would be a problem. It's very hot of course, but I don't believe hot enough to start a fire or char the wood.

The decision and risk are yours, but I can provide some useful info. The inside obviously gets flaming hot. The rim and legs, i.e., the parts that would touch you deck, are not too hot. The pit's pan has a solid bottom, so no coals will fall through.If it was my deck, my primary concern would be sparks popping out. But this fire pit comes with a screened lid heavy enough to stay in place. The only remaining spark risk is when you remove that lid to roast marshmallows or to add more wood. I suppose you could get some sparks or even small coals through the pan's wider-meshed sides if you build up the coals too much or fail to clean out the ashes between uses.

I've used this on wooden surfaces and on grass before with no problems. The "feet" do not get that hot at all. I'd be careful with it around very dry brush but it's not going to catch solid wood on fire.

No, not indoors on carpet. It would ruin your floor. It's in our backyard and made a huge circle in the lawn.

I use it on a carpeted floor. It works fine for me. My caepet has very low pile.

I don't see why it couldn't be used on a carpeted floor. The mat is large and insulated enough that it shouldn't cause damage to the carpet. I would check while you are using it on the carpeted floor that the heat from the iron doesn't go through the mat and damage the carpet. Also it the iron was on a high setting and were to get of the edge of the mat, it could melt or fuse your carpet quickly.
