Do these have a burn time?

It sure does. These sound heavenly after the first few hours of use. If i where you I'd leave them on for at least 24 hours straight max to bur them in. Just a few levels below maximum volume. Enjoy!

No fires for me. But they did get extremely hot and that was a concern for me as well. When I unplugged them to change cartridge it was very hot!! Unsettling.

There shouldnt be any particular reason for what the could burn; maybe a bad installation? Water exposure? They are very sensible if you touch them by the glass. Ive had mine for over a year now and they work just fine.

Yes - they will burn well outdoors. Once these are lit and either glowing red on both side - or gray on the outside, these will not blow out and will work great.

Yes, and the ones that managed to pop were on the burnt side. I am not a wasteful person, but I threw this item in the trash after zero success with multiple uses, and after reading two reviews that said the machine caught on fire. If you still have the receipt, take it back.

There's no smell to them that I've noticed. They do take off & burn quickly but there's not a giant flame or any chemical odor or taste.

Yes. Mine did but the burners were short I think I ordered the wrong burners. But they were in peefect condition.

They would take a really long time with a lighter. I use my stove and it takes 10-15 minutes. If you can't use the stove a small fire will sometime be a better alternative. I have not been able to use a lighter to light one it would just take too long.

These do require burn in though. Run these headphones at listening volume with pink noise and frequency sweep over night a few times if you do decide to get these. You can find the files herehttp://www.head-fi.org/t/466827/free-burn-in-files

I have only used them for hardwood fires, but may I say that the squares are easily lit and stay lit for 10 minutes or longer, and as long as some air is provided I believe they would light just about any burnable substance. I do however use two adjoining squares instead of one and have never had a problem with them lighting even the largest of logs. I hope this has helped.

I use them to start my woodstove, and prefer them to fatwood. They burn a long time about (ten minutes?) and there are no sparks like you get from the fatwood.

I guess they're not super dry, but seem to be dry enough to preserve them. Drying further might deepen the color, which may not be as attractive, depending on what you're cooking. The big question for me would be how do they taste? Mine were pleasant, hot enough to burn awhile, but not hot enough to blow my face off. I like them and think they're pretty,.

Yes they will. These bulbs are 14minute bulbs.... so when you start your timer punch it down to 14 minutes to keep from getting sunburned. These bulbs are way hotter than my old ones. Hope this helps�

Yes. It depends on how long it is on. It is not burning hot on low but it is still hot but not enought that your gonna get burn.

Yes, they should. Only after remaining in open flame or handling hot things for a duration have we noticed any transfer of heat.

I had mine on at an event for up to 8 hours after I first got them and they never seemed to get too hot. If you feel they are getting too hot you may have a defective unit.

I haven't had any not work, yet. I've used maybe a dozen so far. I only burned at 6x so far, don't know if at some faster burn speeds, you may have issues?
