can the flame sack be cut in such a way as to get more flowing realistic flames?

The flame is just a triangular piece of satin fabric. The base of the triangle has a magnet attached to it which attracts to a metal piece at the base. I'm sure you could cut the triangular piece of fabric but to be honest, we have used this for everything from indoor camp fires, to covered porch fires, and Halloween prop. My boys absolutely love it. I may need to get another piece of satin because ours is so torn up for so much use. It was a great investment. Oh yeah, I brought it into school for an indoor camping exhibit...the kids loved it.

It's not a sack. It is already fairly realistic. You could cut the silk, if you want.

The "flame" is just a piece of silk with 2 magnets glued to the bottom. You could cut it, but I don't know if it would improve it. You could make other flames with your own silk and magnets .

Sue: Ours does not have an actual sack...it's just a single piece of silk and flutters quite nicely. Many people come by thinking it is an actual fire and are surprised to see it's not. :)

I would think it could. The ring is magnetic so if you got orange and white "streamers" and pasted a small magnet on one end you could get a very good effect. (I have been thinking of doing that as I have something similar in the fireplace that works very realistically)

same thought i had and finally am bartering to give it to my handyman. i was astonished at the lightness. you would need to have some sort of heat resistant paint for the opening where the heat comes. out. A shame, because the flame effect is great. Went for a smaller one by another well-known brand in cherry and black.

The legs are removable but I am not sure about the diameter. The silk flame may need to be trimmed to assure the flame likeness.

You can use this on areas that come into direct contact with the flame, if that helps.

Yes, you could definitely cut it.Continued:The material is unmarked, but is similar to ABS plastic (legos). A hack saw or dremel tool would cut it easily, a micro serrated knife would be slow going, but work. If you use an abrasive method (like all mentioned) a quick application of flame will smooth it out, and expose you to only minimum toxic fumes. If you have never use fire to smooth plastic, do it in a darker place, as the plastic can catch fire and burn so cleanly that the flame is invisible under bright light.

Hello. It probably could be cut down if you are willing to resew up the seams. Good luck!

You could probably still do it, mine does not get that hot undernesth even with a large fire. Would have to watch out for sparks though. Sparks and hot cinders can still pop out through screening. Another recommendation is to get a good cover if you dont already have one, i have mine covered with heavy canvas that was cheaper than buying brand name. If you have any other questions, let me know. Very happy with my Landmann!

You can, but it will take longer. It puts them far from the flame.I hope this helps

Yes, the flames are aimed up into lava rocks which absorb the heat but do not creat high temp transfer heat that metal does. The control is also efficient.

Yes, that's how I use it with no problem. Just don't put the flame too high and have the it slightly off to the side of the burner grate so the handle doesn't get hot.

I suppose so. Think of it as a ring. Hollow all the way through. The fire pan sits on top.

I would guess I could pre-fill my hobo alcohol stove and drop it in, light with a long match,twig or a spark from a ferro rod,using the stove as a pot stand and windbreak concentrating the heat. I'd be careful not to get burned. Now I'll have to try it.

I cut mine using a tightly press steel edge as a guide and a utility knife. Cut threads were then melted using a lighter. The rubber burns so be careful with the flame.

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!

Yes you can, the flame can be adjusted to any height up to about 10 inches or so.

I don't know why you couldn't...I would probably put some cheap lava rock from your big box store as a base to distribute the flames though

No, but there are other ways to do this, usually involving a steam iron - you can find some ideas on DIY websites.
