I'm looking for vermiculite to use as insulation in an outdoor rocket stove to insulate the firebox from outside cooling air, is this product right fo

I'm pretty sure you can use this. Other vermiculite products that are labeled for use as 'insulation vermiculite' tend to have a lot of other chemicals put in to them. I'm not sure if 6 quarts will be enough for your rocket stove though.

This is more of an agricultural vermiculite you r looking for a vermiculite that has a water repellent in it ... That's what makes it useful for an insulation...Only problem is insulation vermiculite has been known to contain asbestos.

If you show us a picture and we conclude it's not because of banging or dropping, we will cover it no matter how long you own it. These are made of conductive firebrick and can handle direct flame without a hitch.Joe

Should. We have a propane tank pit. But I am going to put it in my house FP which is gas. I had lava rocks in my outdoor pit. We covered them with this.

This is designed to be wrapped in insulation. Foil or paper-backed fiberglass or foam that can withstand the heat would be ok.

I would imagine you could use it to cover a regular camp stove but email the manufacturer to be sure :)

I'd have to see the application.. I wouldn't use it near a completely open flame but if draped over something as an insulator without being in contact with the flame I wouldn't see why not...it handles the temperatures from my Firebox with ease and only slight discoloration..

I think some small sparks may "bounce" off during some light welding/torching activities but that's probably it. The case is plastic. Unfortunately, plastic and fire/flames don't mix very well. For the low price, you could try it out and see if it works for your application. Good luck!

Should be okay. That's the beauty of catalytic heat; it requires little oxygen and produces little CO. I have used it in tents, boats, etc. with no problems. Just don't put it close to anything combustible; it does get very hot.

I used open fire (wood) in the backyard. Played with size of the fire and distance from it to the can to get it right. Using a grill would probably work, too, although it might get stained. You need a lot of heat, so a gas stove would not be enough, in my opinion, at least outside in any kind of wind. And I would never heat it up inside because of the smell. The plastic parts are pretty useless, they melt and break. The product itself is great. The quality of repair is excellent.

My husband said it was for insulation, not sure if that is the answer you are looking for.

I personally would never use it for camping or backing packing. The item is intended for use with lapidary, casting, and other environments where you need a continuous low temp flame. It will leak if you were to try and travel with it full of fuel. I suppose you could use it as an emergency lamp in your home and it would serve well for that.

This wold be for a cold smoke application as it does not produce enough heat to dependably cook something. I use it in my BBQ prior to finish cooking.

I bought this camp chef and then set it in a back yard fire pit that I made from bricks. I ran the hose through a pvc and then to a little shed where I keep the propane tank. it worked out very nice. I went to a shop that recertifies the tanks and makes hoses. they made me a hose the length I needed. that's the way it would go just to be safe. let the pros do it. I would bet there is a similar shop near you somewhere. hope that helped.

There is plenty of heat "60,000" BTU and yes things would cook. Marshmallows if they fall off would get into the lava and logs and be messy. Hope that helps. Patio Splash

Yes, definitely! I use mine year round in Seattle. It is insulated and I've actually cooked at 500 degrees in a snowstorm in Reno on our first unit during initial testing. If it's real cold out remember that the steel and the stones are very cold as well and will take longer to heat up to cooking temps. You can also remove the upper fuel grate and build a bigger fire right on the firestarter grate in the firebox. I'd also recommend using all high heat woods like Oak, Maple or Hickory for a hotter fire.

I Would Say Possibly. It Is Meant For Solid Fuel Cubes Such As Esbit Or Wetfire But You Might Be Able To Fit A Small Alcohol Stove Inside. -Outdoorsman7749-

It depends on how you plan to use this for cooking. If you intend on making a stew or baking in the Dutch ovens, it will not work properly. The lid has no lip to contain the chacoal ash and the bottom has no legs to allow airflow around the coals. The leg issue can be overcome rather easily, but the other issue isomer difficult to overcome.
