Which fuel produces the orange flames. I do not want blue flames. How long does it burn on a full well? And how does one extinguish the fire?

It has a door that closes and burns about 4 hours on a full we'll not sure About colors but I used it during the hurricane

Orange flame means combustion is incomplete and liable to be sooty and probably toxic without venting. The flames form denatured ethanol are visible and pretty enough to elicit positive comments from our guests. A full well burns about 8 hours depending on the size of the flame, which is modulated with sliding doors over the firebox. Just close the doors to extinguish the flame. The unit does get hot so don't let kids or pets near it. It will heat a small room.

I understand that is new but I am still of the opinion that either the burner holes are clogged by some debris or the propane gas valve is not fully opened so not enough pressure reaches the rear side of the burner - you have only one ignition system and that means that either it ignites or it does not, and in your case, it does, so to me it looks like the fuel doesn't make it all the way - I'm not an engineer but have been struggling with this very pretty grill for years; I buy and change the burner every year ($49)! ... I also have a full size propane can and purchased a full size hose adaptor and connector (approx. $14)... Good luck!

Yep, just get a mid-level regulator and you will be good! I went with a 7psi regulator and can create a ridiculously large flame.

I use a regular lighter, the fuel contains some kind of wax, just be careful not to burn your hand with a hot drop of wax.

It does not have a wick. Open the top, place a heat source (lighted match or lighter) in the container and the fuel will begin to burn. When done, just replace the cap and it snuffs out the flame.

Hey Paul ~ the burner uses propane. I will share that this was a Christmas gift and used for the first time this past weekend. The recipients loved it! I hope this helps.

The only way to prevent soot is to have a blue flame, which would not look like a campfire; so it's not designed to burn like a cooking flame. (Which would be blue and efficient.)

I can show you pictures of my kitchen right now. It is covered in soot. Our insurance company came and are paying us a lot of money to completely clean and repaint our whole house and put in new ceiling tile as it is ruined. We had to turn off hte propane fireplace. It was a procom and we have had it 8 years. We are not buying procom again. WE are told propane is a dirty fuel and that is most of it. Only paint thinner or alcohol takes it off and it is still there. Paint won't even stick to it. Not to mention we have been breathing it in.

Not really a great idea.It would burn,but only for a very short time.The reason this fuel works so well in a ventless fireplace,is that it is poured into a reservoir which holds a large amount of fuel,thus a long burn.

blue and orange/yellow flames. You can have it all blue, a combination of both, or all orange/yellow.

Call your local FD for advice.I just got off the phone with my town's fire inspector and he said they have never had a problem with any extinguisher reacting to the temps in New Hampshire in his 15 years. He recommended an extinguisher for ABC classes and said they won't explode because they are dry chemicals (powders I guess). We had an electrical fire in our rear taillight a few months ago and no extinguisher. I'm hoping that by being prepared, it won't happen again!

Sorry, I can't help you. I use nat. gas. I also returned it for an infered heater. Blue flame is a bit dangerous to keep on in my garage.

The single best fuel source is ethanol (i.e.. grain alcohol--brand Everclear) which can be consumed by humans--limited quantities, of course. It burns great. More importantly, methanol found in HEET is highly toxic. Research it!

I was told it uses 'butane mixed fuel' but I'm using isobutane mixed fuel and it works fine. I use the jetboil containers and it works great!

Have to use super sharp scissors, then a nice hot flame. The center strands melt slower, so try to move slowly. I keep it in the blue part of the flame on a pocket lighter, but recently purchased a propane torch for the steadier heat. Try not to let it actually start on fire, though, it discolors the ends. Good luck!

Buy the right fuel cannister: Coleman Butane / Propane Mix Fuel It screws into the 'stove'. Turn the nob and light it with a flame source. Super easy to use, though you need a flat place to put it on. It works for all size pots, though larger ones can be tricky as it's a very small flame area. I've heard that some cheaper pots will actually burn a bit because of the small flame area. It is very small folded down and unfolding it is as easy as an umbrella.
