I am confused.......this was listed as an indoor cooking stove, but the instructions say not to use it indoors. Should I return it?

This stove uses butane gas to make the fire. IT SHOULD NOT BE USED INSIDE YOUR HOME, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. It is a good stove to use by the pool or camping OUTDOORS ONLY. It is easy to light. I often see it being used outside at hotels for breakfast omelets, etc. It is good to have in reserve for emergencies when power is out, but only outside with good ventilation. Carbon monoxide gas can kill you. It is odorless, tasteless and lethal; this is why I recommend (Insist on) usage only outdoors.

I've used this type of stove indoors for years. I don't see any reason why you couldn't use it inside, it's the same as a built in gas stove.

This stove does use butane cartridges and for liability reasons any company is going to recommend using an appliance like this outside. Personally, I have seen stoves like this used to cook omelette at restaurants and use mine indoors when boiling water quickly while brewing beer. The choice and the risk are ultimately yours depending on how you choose to use the stove. Either way I always keep mine with my emergency preparedness kit when not in use. Hope this helps.

NO NO NO NO, this product is NOT INDUCTION COOKWARE! and if you return it, after you discover it does NOT work IN YOUR INDUCTION KITCHEN, they will take 30% off the price you paid for your refund. Not knowing, or listening to the other users who say "sure it works", when clearly they do not have induction work tops (they NEVER say they have the cook tops and have tried it themselves!) is no excuse for returning it for a full refund. I purchased from this site, and this product, found it did not work on any of my induction "burners", and received a whopping $22 refund back. It is a beautiful pan though!

Right now we are using this stove inside our home as we are updating our home. We have it on top of our stove (that is not hooked up) and put the fan on while in use so the fumes are taken outside.

I have no idea. In fact, if you figure it out, please let me know. I currently have a dozen of these things that I bought to go with a "countertop" gas burner. When I got the burner, it turned out that I could not use it indoors (which was not mentioned in the description or particulars). I returned the burner, but federal law prohibits me from returning the fuel, so I am stuck with them and cannot figure out how to use them on anything else.

All safety instructions say to not use it indoors. I have lived off the grid for many years and have used several types of catalytic type heaters to heat the inside of my cabins or boats. They are safe as long as you have enough incoming air. Most of the newer units have a CO sensor that will shut it down if the monoxide level gets dangerous. That said, I would NEVER go to bed with one of these or any other LP heater or cooking unit going in an enclosed space. Safe enough to use responsibly in a trailer, ice fishing tent, shop or garage as long as it is not left unattended for a multitude or potential safety reasons. All said I love this heater.

I am sorry to read about the problems other buyers are having with the cracking of these pots. I've now been using mine since 2007 or so and it's as solid as ever - and I use it often - on the stove more often than in the oven. I wonder what type of stove others are using - mine is a glass top (electric) - perhaps the pots don't stand up to gas stoves like they should? Just a thought. At any rate, the seller should stand behind what they sell and that is disappointing.

Yes. I have used mine indoors. It is similar to a large George Foreman grill. I would have it near an exhaust fan just like other stove-top cooking.

I have been using mine this week with no issues, other than a slight smell. It burns clean as it is alcohol based. In a small, airtight room you may burn the oxygen but in a kitchen, open to the house, that will not happen. I know that a propane stove will put out CO2 and should not be used indoors.

Okay Gary, I just heard back from our contact. Here is what she said:They could check different bushcraft forms and blogs sites to see what others said about the Emberlit. Here is a good video to show the customer for comparison of the 2 stoves https://youtu.be/0vXoZwSoVA8. The boil time is a lot faster than the Solo.We offer a life time warranty on all of our products and if they are not satisfied with it you can return with a full refund. It also depends what they are using the stove for the solo doesn't pack flat and you would have to lift your pot up to feed it fuel where the Emberlit has a side port to feed the fuel.

I would not burn wood/biomass indoors. Once the stove gets going it is less smokey, but will generate lots of smoke during startup or while adding fuel. I have not used the alcohol burner attachment, but that would definitely be better for a low ventilation area. I love this stove, but it is basically a mini campfire (I did use it in a 3 sided AT shelter, but depending on wind the smoke was annoying)

My answer is no. I would not use it indoors because of the smoke. The hood on my indoor stove wouldn't be able to handle it. It's the same as if you heated a cast-iron skillet to about 500 degrees F and threw a steak in it. The smoke alarms would all go off.

I used this stove in my garage. Since it's hooked up to a propane tank, it's better off to cook outside or in the garage with proper care.

Yes you can use this indoors! However, given that it will smoke your apartment up why would you want to? You could use sterno to avoid the smoke but since Amazon sells a sterno stove for $5.41, why would you want to spend $70 on this?

I don't know - Other than an apartment I once rented, I have only cooked with a gas stove top. I have a friend with a glass top stove and to me it sounds like a nightmare trying to figure out what you can and can't cook on it. I would suggest asking either the store you bought the stove at or checking with the maufacture. They would know best if your stove can hande it.

The product use and description states that it should not be used indoors. I have used this outdoors at a campsite and it was great! So easy to set up and works like a regular gas burning stove.

I wouldn't think you'd want to use any BBQ indoors because of the smoke that's created. Apart from that, there are flame-ups as drippings hit the element. I wouldn't use it indoors.

The instructions tell you not to use it indoors. However, it is a great grill and I can recommend it. I will be using it tonight.
