There is no way to coat them that I can think of. All I can suggest is after your done cooking your burgers is turn up the heat a bit and let the accumulated drippings burn off. Then when you light it the next time , preheat the grill and use the grate lifter to lift up the grate, lay it to the side on another grate and use your grill brush to clean the char of the heat shields. I know its a bit of extra work but its the best and only real solution I have come up with so far. If anything else comes to mind I will pass it on.

I believe BSA does not allow open flames in tent... http://councilspd.scouting.org/scoutsource/HealthandSafety/GSS/gss07.aspx

its heat resistant, nothing is really fireproof. It is a Muslin Dyed Cloth as long as you dont have a hot lights inches away from it it shouldn't be an issue. I used 800 watt lights to light it from about a foot and a half away for over 2 hours

You have to A) unwrap them and B) attach them. When attaching remember you will probably be holding the lantern upside down from it's flight position when mounting the fuel block. When burning (in the flight position) you want the wires to be under the block. So when mouinting (before lighting) the wires are over the block.

Hello We do not add any flame-retardants to our Roma or Naturale mattresses. In the Roma, we use Rayon as a natural fire-barrier. In the Naturale, we use the wool as a natural fire-barrier. Thank you kindly, have a terrific day! SleepEZ

This tent is made with material that is known for it's fire retardant properties. However, the manufacturer has not submitted the tent for testing, therefore, we do not have a certificate to provide.

My application was on a wood gazebo. I just scraped and wire brushed the loose stuff, then painted over with a normal heavy duty deck finish. Maybe you could just paint over it with a quality concrete paint.

Use a black paint called VHT flame proof coatings. Sand rust spots smooth then paint with VHT

I just use a Hennessy Hex Tarp and 2 Black Diamond trekking poles to cover mine.

there is a plastic like coating over the seam tape, it took a few yrs of use before i needed to seal the seam again. if you are really concerned about the water proofing, set the tent up out side and hose it down. if the fabric is not water proofed it will darken as it gets wet. at one time Coleman had it's own product line of tent care products. i've had no problem using a silicone based water repellent product- several light coats, not one heavy one.

K., Jesse has it right. Isobutane canister you find at most camping/backpacking stores. I use MSR ISOPRO for my fuel, but this stuff is available in lots of stores under different names. Screw it on, fold out pot supports, turn on gas using little wire handle and light. Your water or whatever will be happily boiling in a few minutes. Adjustment is smooth and easy using the little wire handle to get the amount of flame you want. When your done just unscrew and pack up but obviously wait a few minutes till it cools down. I purchased one of these for everyone in my family. I works and seems to hold up over time but I tend to baby my stuff since I hate to re-buy things once I get used to using them.

i have the papers somewhere ... it's very strudy, practical for small camping out... haven't tested in winter yet...if you have too much wood and it burns hot, the paint will peel...just repaint .. it's worth the money invested. randy

It's my understanding that Haba does not use flame retardants but honestly I can't be 100% certain. I did not directly ask the company before purchasing. If you do find out it meets your criteria I would definitely recommend this tent! The size is good (and tall enough for me to sit in it) and we've spent hours playing in it.
