can it survive a house fire?

I don't know how it could withstand a house fire. I am terribly disappointed in mine. The hinge pins are made of plastic. It would appear to me that they would melt fairly quickly and there would be no structural integrity. I guess they have tested it, and their claims are accurate. But, the top fell off of mine after a year of use. I would not trust it with my important documents. I now use mine to store odds and ends that have no value.

It supposed to be safe in a fire---for exact temperature --you will have to check the specs for the item.

Yes, as long as you take the usual precautions as debris and sparks can make their way through the protective screen. But the unit is compact, light, and really lovely. Not unwieldy like some of the larger firepit. We love it.

Keep a relatively full propane bottle in it and you should be fine. If it still blows over then move to another part of the country.

Yes. Just don't 'shock' it by getting it too hot too fast or cooling it down too fast. I always pull a suply of coals out of the main fire to cook on with no problems.

Disclaimer: I'm no expert so I'm not responsible if you burn your house down. I would think you could but haven't tried. I've had mine for years so they may have changed but the base on mine is wide and sturdy. I would think it could handle some weight.

No. It has a resiliant pad, probably plastic. After at least 80 -100 dry fires the pad is still intact.

Not really. Think of it as two pieces of shiny thin cardboard with foam in between. If you put flames on it, it will burn. If it gets a little liquid splashed on it, it might be okay. If it is put under water, it will most likely become soggy and possibly break apart.

I can't say for sure. It's Somme sort of plastic material. I suppose you could drill holes in it and run bolts through it. But it's designed as a fire resistant box.

It should be OK because this unit has a ceramic socket...as others have mentioned I would keep it away from anything that could catch on fire. Good luck...

I wouldn't try it over an open fire. The plastic coatings would melt, and the bottoms would be hard to clean. It works well over a small stove, in fact one will fit inside with a small tank of fuel.

It's not recommended that it be put somewhere that won't allow heat to escape. It does produce a small amount of heat. I don't think it would start a fire, but it's life would probably be shortened. I personally wouldn't do it.

if your not worried about breaking anything in your house then yes xD. its sturdy and doesn't seem loose at all. you should be fine. just don't smash it against anything. :)

No. The safe is not fire resistant and will not protect enclosed item if in a fire.

It's pretty sturdy, we have ours inside and it looks like it can withstand humidity. It also has good range.

I would think it would be a fire hazard if used anywhere in the house. I someone touched it when it was on they could risk getting a nasty burn. I think it should only be used outdoors and in an area that is out of reach for young children. It gets pretty hot.
