Just a question, but why would you need this if you could build a fire?

Thanks for asking...I am allergic to firesmoke and using this nifty little oven was a way for me to avoid having to be near a campfire.

Two different types of heating. This type of lower heat is great for long, sustained "slow cooking" (this can be done with a fire but will require that you tend the fire adjust the distance between the item being heated and the fire, etc.). Other reasons might include sensitivity to pollution (e.g., in an area with high particulate pollution, perhaps an individual simply wants to choose a 'greener' way to heat food), a dislike of smoke (e.g., perhaps an individual could build a fire but prefers not to due to sensitivity to smoke), ...

This would be useful in places where you didn't want to build a fire and draw attention to yourself with smoke. Also, you can leave this unattended.

If you want to bake rolls or something it's nice for that. Also when the power was out after hurricane Wilma I used it a lot because I could not get propane for the BBQ or build a fire in my back yard.

It comes with a lightweight aggregate (called vermiculite) that spreads the fire out quite nicely. Fire glass would work as well, but make it much heavier and limit the portability of it.

I really think in an emergency situation you could use them over a fire, but I would use a regular stove or hot plate maybe even a propane burner.

It's easy, just make sure you clean the grease trap often. We've had some flames, I think it's because the grease trap sits under the fire bowl, so if you forget to empty it, you end up with a fire!

That's more than necessary, with a power supply that massive you can run a tri-fire. But you should always also get a certified power supply for best performance as well.

Just so you're happy with it....It's a matter of safety....after the fire occurs...it's a little too late.....I'll bet you have Life Insurance and haven't used that either.

I have never done that. I think this was intended for lesser functions, like cutting smaller branches for fire wood. I would imagine you would need something bigger, but if time is not a factor, go for it.

Certainly. They provide a lot of light for storming buildings but since it burns white gas, it won't necessarily be good for lighting anything on fire. You would want kerosene for that.

I don't think you would have to because there is a guage to let you know how full and pressure but why risk it. If you were unlucky enough to have another fire you may need a full tank. Its an impressive fire extinguisher though for sure.

They are lightweight metal and can be driven hard. Why would you want to put them into a fire?

i don't see why not, but why would you light it and then carry it elsewhere?

Yes, you can. I placed mine in a standard metal fire pit and that works too.

Yes you can. You will need to put a can or something to keep the wood in though so the heat and flame can be concentrated. It looks like the metal is coated in Zinc to make it rust resistsant so I would not build a fire in the thing unless you want zinc poisoning.

Yes, you just need to make the woodstove hot enough for what you want to cook. A hot campfire is ok, but smoke might become a problem.

To store your bag of charcoal briquettes. I also store a lighter and newspaper for my chimney. It makes it convient to keep it all in one place.

No you cannot. It's a composite material that would not stand up to direct flames in my opinion.

It certainly gets hot since it contains fire, but it's not designed to radiate heat. You can put your hands above it or very near to it and I'm sure you'd get some heat. But it's not going to warm an area. You're better off building a campfire.
