Can the solo stove be used indoors in an emergency situation?

It is unsafe to burn wood indoors without an adequate chimney to vent the smoke. I wouldn't do it myself.

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.

Ugh. What a question to ask about a WOOD BURNING stove. Humanity is doomed.

Only if used as an alcohol or Sterno stove not using it to burn any collected biomass.
1484453
Yes you can use this indoors! However, given that it will smoke your apartment up why would you want to? You could use sterno to avoid the smoke but since Amazon sells a sterno stove for $5.41, why would you want to spend $70 on this?

I would not burn wood/biomass indoors. Once the stove gets going it is less smokey, but will generate lots of smoke during startup or while adding fuel. I have not used the alcohol burner attachment, but that would definitely be better for a low ventilation area. I love this stove, but it is basically a mini campfire (I did use it in a 3 sided AT shelter, but depending on wind the smoke was annoying)

It's an open flame, it produces carbon monoxide, and it smokes a bit. I happen to have a fireplace in my house so I could use it there, if I opened the flue. But I wouldn't generally recommend using it indoors.

Yes it can but you are limited to what type of fuel can be used safely indoors..Sterno and alcohol fuel come to mind.

You could use a butane stove inside the house and many folks also use alcohol cans to keep foods hot on a buffet. These produce so low of a level of CM that it would dissipate before the stove is cold after use. However attempting to do the same in a closet for example and the results are the same for a tent, the consumption of oxygene with the added CM over time is deadly.

Not sure; I'll have to take a look at it next week; the stove is currently in a location about 4 hours from here!

Yes, you can separate the stove before the can is empty and use the rest later.

Dear customers,It can use it but we recommend the regular size Solo stove when you use the alcohol stove.Best Regards,

You absolutely can. We have a gas stove and it works perfectly. Gas or electric,doesn't matter.

Sure. I have a great friend who owns a restaurant and he uses these for cooking sauces all the time.Obviously you have to be careful with any fire inside and I wouldn't use it for space heating, but cooking during a power outage, perfect.

This stove gives of carbon monoxide when in use and should not be used indoors at all. Due to its odorless nature, you will not be able to tell if your ventilation is adequate or not. Therefore, this product should only be used outdoors.

I,m sure it could be done in a all out emergency, but does'nt seem like a very good idea. You will have to remove the grate , and a glass cover to get to the pilot. FYI the built in ignition will work even if you have a power outage.

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

As with any gas appliance there is a chance that a fire could happen. Also, carbon monoxide could be emitted during use. Personally I would only use it outdoors & not run the risk of fire or someone becoming ill.

It should work fine, as long as the single burner stove is large enough to hold it.

Sorry, but I don't know the answer to that. I only bought this stove to use in emergencies after our terrible ice storm in February. I only plan to use the small 1# disposable propane containers. I also bought a propane heater and also plan to use the small propane containers. I did test this stove and the heater, and both started up beautifully. I hope I NEVER have to use either of these products. An ice storm here (South Carolina) is a rare event, but this was a bad one, with power out everywhere, which means: no heat in the house. I never go camping, so I would not be able to answer your question. Sorry.

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.

If the power module were to fail, like being broken or if it got wet, or if you wanted to save the moving parts for some reason; you could run the stove without the power module attached and the stove will still work. The fire won't be anywhere near as hot, but it's possible. There is no reason to save the battery though unless you're worried about constant wear

it is very heavy to hold over a stove inside,and i am sure it would take a long time to get hot and melt what you making....so i would say NO to inside use...

It burns combustible fuel tabs, therefore it produces carbon monoxide and other pollutants like any other flammable fuel stove. It is as safe to use indoors as any other - use common sense, people, and seriously ventilate the room if you must use this indoors,
