Does the thermostat prevent use as a decorative flame when the room is say 68 degrees?

I have been using mine all season. I was not aware there was a thermostat. For me, I adjust the flames up or down and that's it. I don't know about any exact temperature. That said, I have mine in a 16' x 16' kitchen, I don't have a radiator, the kitchen has doors that close it off from the dining room and cellar, and this is the only source of heat, and it is quite warm.

Sorry.., I meant we don't know what you mean thermostat.. I don't think this model has a thermostat. But keeping flame to 5, or 4 works just great for us.

The flame turnes on and off. There is nothing between. When the room temperture reaches the set point, the flame will go out

In my (somewhat limited) experience, it does not. With the optional fan on, and with the flame on low it will drive you out of the room without shutting off.

I don't Whst you mean by thermostat... We keep the flame on 5, or 4 area all the time. It is in our sun room, and this is our 2nd winter using this. We use w/ a ceiling fun pushing heat down. Works wonderfully. We love it.

I believe it does. If the room is too warm, it won't come on. I keep my heat on 65, so the fireplace will kick on more frequently.

It gets warm, but not nearly hot enough to be a fire hazard, even if it is on for a long time.

At least a couple hundred degrees. Aluminum/steel looks to beak down at a pretty high temp. I'm sure as long as the fire isn't touching the fan, you'll be fine. Another question would be, what are you ducting the fireplace with? Or are you just sticking this canfan up there, to exhaust hot air out? You should probably look into something else to vent air out for a fireplace. Unless you use it to vent off heat the the rest of the house.

I don't know if it shuts off if it gets too hot....haven't had that happen. I set the built-in thermostat to my desired temperature and once it reaches it, it won't go above it. We use ours in the opposite end of the house that has the free standing fireplace and it keeps it nice and warm over there. It has a fan that keeps the warm air coming through the unit circulating into the room. Unit looks nice too...blends in as a piece of furniture!!

Very nicely functioning heater for the price. But it is open flame, so be mindful of building codes regarding storing flammible substances in the same area.

Not sure. It supposedly heats up to 20 degrees Fahrenheit higher than the room temperature. But you can't be sure with out a thermostat.

Most definitely. Tops out at 81 degrees, but was a godsend for me and the family when our pipe froze, rending our furnace useless for a few hours. This kept us from freezing and even helped heat a 550 sq ft room up to about 64 degrees from 59 F. It'd do far more in a normal sized bedroom.

It's not much of a control. There is a knob to adjust the height of the flames inside but I generally keep watching the temperature guage that is on the lid.

For me, no -I have an electric stove and the heat doesn't go as high as a flame. I usually have the stove control set anywhere from 5-7 because it gets too hot otherwise. Hope that helps.

This heater works best in a closed off room versus trying to heat an entire house. I use mine in master (20x20) bedroom over top garage. It has no problem keeping the room around 72 degrees. The thermostat on unit is off by 5 degrees for some reason.

This unit has a thermostat for the 59°-86° range. If you set the thermostat to only 60 degrees, the unit will not blow warm air. if the room temp is already higher than the 60 degrees. Might want to set it initially for 86 degrees. The Unit will take several minutes the first time you use it. Then try setting it for mid-70 or higher. Good luck.

Yes, I'm using it right now in cool room (60-65°F) keeping my brew 71-72°F. The range of the thermostat is limited, but in the range needed for most ale brews.

Well in essence yes because if the temp is set so low that it doesn't call for heat through the thermostat then the furnace is essentially off.

No, it is neutral in temperature. Neither hot nor cool. The temperature of the room is the discerning factor.

We don't use it in an I closed space and have never had it on high but if it's not near anything I don't see a problem. We just love it.the heat is directed downwards and there's no flame to worry about. Hope this has been helpful.

Yes. You can set the exact temperature you want to keep in the room you are in. I keep mine at 62 degrees for example, and when the room gets to that thermo temp. It stops. When it gets cool again due to temperature dropping it will start again. You can also have it point in just one direction, or oscillate. Whether high or low heat though it is not a burning type of heat, where you have to worry about children or animals walking by, it is a gentle heat.

I am using it for a gas fireplace and it does have a built in thermostat. Works great.
