I use these in my wood stove every time i lite a fire. They work great. Hope this helped, not sure what you were trying to find out.

They are made with a candle like wax that would build up in chimneys and catch on fire, that would be my assumption.

You can do as you like , but it is a scale model. They didn't design it to burn anything, and the surfaces that you may choose for the wax melting are very porous and wouldn't clean well. Glass and ceramic candle holders are smooth to aid the owner in keeping the item clean, this stove surface is VERY porous, it will never clean wax well or at all. Burning and cleaning were never part of this items design, proceed at your own risk.

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

I use mine primarily with an alcohol stove but I do not see any reason why you could not use it on the fire.

You can ignite the gas side with the burners but need a starter on the charcoal side. We use those paraffin/sawdust squares or "fat wood".

If you burn wood in an open fireplace it's the wrong product. If you burn wood in an enclosed stove follow directions. Once a week application.

Sorry, I have an old stove. Not able to answer whether you can use it or not.

I use it in my outdoor fire pit which is fueled by gas. I don't see how you can use this with a wood burning fireplace.

Yes it can be used in a campfire or BBQ as I've used it on both as well as in the fireplace just because I thought it'd be fun to try to replicate recipes I'd seen done at Sturbridge Village; I assume that if you didn't have a grate to place it on then legs would be better because it would allow more air to circulate however as I live in California where there's alway seems to be a high fire danger I've never cooked anywhere but in a designated camp fire area where gratesare always part of the structure.

All i have used in this stove is denatured alcohol, heet methanol, i don't use anything else because these two burn super clean so i am not sure but now i may try white gas in a home made stove abd see how it works hope this was helpful

Nancy I'm assuming you mean on a gas stove? If so than yes. I do this everyday. If you mean over something wood fired, like a camp fire, than I would be hesitant.

I used an Esbit fuel tab and it worked fine. Not sure of the burning temp on those. There is a small grate on the bottom that the fuel/wood, whatever sits on. Eventually these may burn out I'm thinking, but maybe not. They look to be an easy fix anyway. Great stove.

I have never used either stoves. I use a solo stove that uses twigs and works great. Sorry I can't help.

Yes. I have burned wood pellets in the stove by just placing the pellets in a small metal pan, or small square electrical box. They burn great hope this helps mike I personally use little twigs also, and they burn great What a great stove.

I didn't try it once I read instructions that said not to use it. Wasn't going to potentially damage my stove to check if instructions were incorrect.

I suggest writing the manufacturer to play it safe. From my own experience, I don't think wood is going to be an issue as the concentrated blue flames of a gas micro/pocket rocket leave no damaging effects. Few open wood fires burn that hot. Large orange flames in the Bioliite Stove could be a concern as XTS Pot has a plastic lid, and the plastic on the handles will melt.

Yes you can.. you can use any type of wax but you have to check that the container can fit into the wax pot... check the dimension of the wax pot against the dimension of the wax container... if the container can fit into the wax pot then you can use it. Y8u can buy the wax online from sellers at amazon...
