Oh yes, this cooks on an electric stove, gas stove, on a BBQ, on a camp fire, or any heat supply, just remember to spay it with pam or whatever you normally use so food doesn't stick. Also, do not put it into the dishwasher, it makes it tarnish, learned the hard way ! I love it ! It works great !

Noreen, this is not electric. I have used it on the grill or open fire. I take it camping, the back yard, the kitchen, you name it.If it is hot, if it has coals, I can cook with it.

Only if you have a non electric stove, such as gas. This product can also be used on a camp fire, charcoal, or propane stove.

If you have somethying to cook it on. I use mine outdoors on the grill side burner as it omits a steady stream of stem from the hole in the top.

I dont think that is possible as is. All this does is alert you went the power goes out with a loud, shrill beep. You might hook it up to something else that would dial out when it is activated, not sure. It does work. Had mine go off a couple times when power was out.

No. It's electric so would have to be near a plug in or run an extension cord over.

If that were possible, then it wouldn't work. Think of it as testing the unit every time you come home. Or perhaps you could find some sort of remote control for an electrical outlet, designed to turn a lamp on or off, and carry that with you to turn off power to the unit when you come home. But if there is such a thing, be sure it isn't using light for the control, like a TV remote does.

Yes you can but what will you do if you have no power and can't recharge them? Buy a package of AA alkaline batteries as a back-up just in case, they have a shelf life of 10 years. Now if you never ever have power outages in your area, disregard my answer.
1250500
Yes, you can. It's not safe unless you have it plugged into a UPS though, keep that in mind. If power cuts or dips you'll have to start over.

Yes, it works off electricity, such as in the house. Can, also, be used in a vehicle where it would be powered by the vehicle battery.

The unit CANNOT be operated during a power outage..it has an electronic ignation which needs the power to function. As for having to manually reset the unit after an outage, we have never had to do any reset on the already input settings dispite many outages due to heavy snow... Hope this helps...we have two (2) units and love them.....

I have never used it so I don't know about the first question, but I bought it for the next power outage because it said you could use it in the house.
769783
I bought mine so I could basically find my way around the house if there is a power outage. I would use it to find my better,long lasting flashlights and lanterns.

Yes, it can be safely used indoors. I use mine on top the kitchen counter during power outages after hurricanes and ice storms.

Sure, as long as you feel safe with it indoors. Keep in mind it is a lantern burning a flame powered by one of the approved fuels. But it's no different than the pioneers used before we had electric lamps. It's why many would call it a hurricane lantern! But it will emit some fumes but nothing horrible. Indoors, I'd prefer to use battery powered devices during power outages indoors myself, but this lantern can certainly be used as well for emergencies or simply ambience of the good ole' days!! :) However, we bought ours to use outside on our patio and out by our fire pit. Hope this helps.

no, because it requires a wifi signal. If you want something when the power goes out, I would recomend a mifi from your wireless company.
1591501
Yes. It gets the power from the phone company line, ie no external power adapter. Unless the phone company is down, ie rare, it should continue to work in case of a power outage. I specifically bought it for that purpose as well.

i would say not. we bought this for when hurricanes and power outage to run a fan, a small fan. It dies out pretty early, when we tried any appliance, like a microwave, it killed it asap. i think it might do a small fridge for maybe an hour. better off with a bucket of ice. the charge cord fell apart at the end you plug in as well, and now doesnt work at all.

No. That is one of the limitations of this product. It is also one of the reasons that the price is lower than chargers that will still work if the power goes out.

Yes, it would great if you experienced an outage. Make sure you keep it ready to go.
