Can I store the fuel inside the stove? Is it leakproof?

I would not eecoend storing fuel in the stove, the seal on the cap is not the greatest.

No. Mine leaks. You may get lucky but most leak. I think the Trangia is the only one that doesn't

I have used it indoors, but well ventilated. Naturally care should be taken to fuel the stove outside and to leave the spare fuel outside. For many years people cooked on indoor kerosene stoves that had an order all it's own. This fuel is more flammable. Use caution.

The stove will get very hot when using it so I wouldn't recommend using it for this purpose.

It seems you could put it anywhere you wanted but if u place it on a cooktop and accidentally turn on the burner underneath it you will damage this expensive appliance.Seems risky. I would love to place mine on my gas cooktop so it is under my ventilating hood. I wondered if a fireproof heatproof board could be placed over the cooktop to protect this device in the event one of my gas burners was inadvertently turned on.

I'm not sure that I can answer that. I've never tried to use it on the stove. Sorry, I can't help you.

Hi, I'm just throwing my two cents in on storing spices on the stove. I recently learned that doing so shortens their lifespan, as the heat damages the spices. You might already know this and have limited space to work with, but I thought I'd let you know just in case you hadn't run across this recommendation.

This mess kit is not designed for storing food that could possibly leak. Dry food, such as instant oatmeal or dry cereal and condiments in zip lock bags should be fine. So you are aware, when the kit is closed it is "not" water proof. It's function is as a food tray and "sometimes" as a cooking pan. I would not recommend using it regularly to cook in.

Yes, this stove is safe to use indoors. It is no different than a gas stove in your kitchen.

Yes but I would recommend wrapping in an old, lightly oiled kitchen towel first. The handles remove for storage. I can put the stove, the propane attachment, grates, diffuser plate, griddle and kitchen towels for padding so things don't clang during transport, all in the bag and there is still a little extra room.Do not put the griddle in the top pocket.If you are carrying that much weight, use luggage straps or paracord straps around the bag. I would also recommend carrying it by the straps instead of the handle. The bag seems to be well made but is not exactly designed to carry cast iron.

I wouldn't put a stove in it. There is no hole for it, plus the heat from the exhaust pipe would likely catch it on fire.

See in the photo how there's a grate on top of a tray that rests on top of the stove-- so any drippings would fall into the tray and not the stove or flames. You just clean the grate & tray, so it's not a problem/issue.

I am in Australia so I have only used shellite but I expect it could hold any fuel appropriate for your stove. Stoves have burn times not bottles. How long it lasts will depend on your stove and how long you use it. I find the large one is good for a four day hike with my MSR stove and the small one is good for an over night. I haven't had one leak yet.

Yes just be sure to fully extinguish the flame and reseal the canister. Allow to cool before storing.

I am uncertain, however, it doesn't appear to be waterproof. Having said that, my first use was to retrieve a bolt from a partially water filled sink joint and it didn't suffer any ill effects. Not sure if fuel would have a more damaging effect on the electronics or the plastic.

No. This is a wood burning stove, not only is it a fire hazard it's also a CO/smoke hazard. Like how you can't have an open fire indoors, nor can you use this stove indoors. The only possibility it may be safe is to use it in the fireplace, if you have a fireplace and you know how to use it.

I would not recommend any stove, including this one, be used inside a tent for warmth. There is a large flame generated.

Should not be a problem. The generator fits inide the burner & the whole thing goes in a nylon sack. Also the combustion is so complete that all that is left is gray ash, not carbon so it is not dirty. It is not ultra-light but probably no heavier that a stove with liquid or LPG fuel. Go for it.
