Would this be OK to hang over the mantel of a gas fireplace, or might it be affected by the heat?

It is made from canvas on a stretched frame....so I don't know if it might be effected by the heat???? It is beautiful though...sorry if that doesn't give you the answer you are looking for.

While I am certainly not an expert, I have had a gas fireplace in the past and I can't imagine that the wall above the mantel would get hot enough to do any damage to the picture. We love this picture and get so many compliments on it. Good luck!

I would think so. I use it on a gas fireplace. The thermostat is located across the room so that it is convenient and not too close to the heat source

This unit is intended for use with a Real Flame mantel, or so it is labeled. I have a carpenter friend completing a custom mantel for this firebox, so can't honestly answer this yet. I will say I ran the unit twice standing freely --alone and without being encased in a mantel--as it is out of the box. The heat is driven outward by a fan; little to no heat was generated on sides or top of my unit.

I'm not sure how hot - place it on something non flammable and you will be fine.

I would not, it gets really hot. We used it in our fireplace this winter when the grill got snowed under. Does work well for what it is.

I don't see why not considering that it is not to be used when there is a flame or residual heat. It is meant to keep the cold air from coming down the chimney and it does a great job on that note. It also helps the fireplace look cleaner when not in use. I would call the manufacturer if you are uncomfortable with the information provided by the seller.

It gets hot to the touch, but unless your partial roof is RIGHT on top of the heater, I'd think it would be ok.

I have it sitting on an area rug and it is OK. The heat projects out , not down.

I don't know for sure, but the way that it's designed, with the burning gas exhaust on the vertical top end, I would have to say no. May not be safe. May not draft fumes properly out of the unit, may overheat the box cause a problem start a fire etc. I would use it as it was designed to be used, vertically mounted. I can be stored flat while not in use, then easily hung by two screws while being used. Takes two minutes to mount and unmount.

I would not recommend hanging stockings from it. However, the artificial fire is nice during the holiday season (I already brought mine out).

I use it on an indoor fireplace insert. All year around outdoor use does not seem to be something that this product cam endure.

I think that would be Ok...... I have it on all the time and haven't had any trouble.... it's doesn't get hot.... the only thing I would have it high up just in case you have inquisitive children or pets getting too close!!

I use mine in hanging fittings all the time, with no problems. Though I have mine in open fittings, so heat is not an issue. If you put one in an enclosed fitting you may have problems with overheating.

As long as you can keep it stable-- it gets very hot and could start a fire!

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...

My husband who mounted it believes you can hang it on a brick fireplace, but you can't put a lot of weight on it. The back side is completely hollow.

I have seen it placed both ways, my preference is near the flue, i think it's safer for the house. one does not want to over heat the stove.
