Depends on what you mean by heat proof. It is a plastic pot, so it will melt if you try to burn it. If, however, you are asking about standing up to heat and sun, the answer is yes. I live in Tx and they weathered the TX summer just fine. Note I have only had them for a year.

I have had no problems whatsoever. No kinking and no problems with heat control and I have laid directly on it for the entire night. The only problem is that it can get very hot.

yea it is heat resistant , you can put a lighter to it and nothing will happen, although ur cook top will be much hotter.

I can't answer that question-- I bought one and I guess I must have read something wrong - - I actually wanted a terra cotta one forget the one I got!! I guess I'll just throw it away as I donm't want to pass it on to someone!! Pat Stephens

It holds up to heat well. But do not leave it outside in the rain as is is not waterproof. I bring mine inside after every grill session and it works wonderfully every time.

Absolutely not! It has a protective backing that does not consist of anything that would melt even in extreme conditions.

The fabric is advetised as being waterproof and breathable, but It's more like water resistant. The fabric on the roof starts to break down from the UV rays of the sun in about a year and seems to have a life of about 2 years. I'm on my third cover, but that is the price that you have to pay when you want to take care of your investment. Happy camping....

its heat resistant, nothing is really fireproof. It is a Muslin Dyed Cloth as long as you dont have a hot lights inches away from it it shouldn't be an issue. I used 800 watt lights to light it from about a foot and a half away for over 2 hours

Sorry, I only use Mizani's Thermasmooth Shine Extend with my Solia, which I have set around 300. This product helps with humidity but does not mention anything about protecting from heat. Maybe I need to consider something myself.

Dear Ryan :) It works best over a clean burning flame such as a backpacking stove/ burner but it can also be used of over a campfire using the correct precautions. Create an elevated platform from a flat stone or , if you have one, a small steel grill. Either way the object would be to position the Terra over a bed of coals or over a stone heated by the fire beneath it. Not over open flames which could render the handle too hot to use and "blacken" the outside which is not the best thing to do if you are packing it around. Know what I mean. The Terra is very durable but not indestructible. Any more questions, feel free to ask.

Oh no - should never wet it! Doesn't need water to create moist heat. Contains "100% natural grains" according to the box. Smells good when heated, but I imagine they would go bad very quickly if wet. You can clean the cover with a damp cloth if necessary. Better yet, wrap it in a clean, light-weight towel to keep it clean.

No, it's radiant heat. It can be wall mounted. I love it and think you will too. It will have a small smell at first use.

It is more terra cotta. Recomend you ensure that they come with a solid wieghted base. Mine did not and I had to fabricate some.

Fireproof IS NOT heat proof! The safe itself may last through the fire, but NOTHING INSIDE WILL. Trust me, I know this well after the contents of 5 "fireproof" safes were destroyed when a fire took one of my family's homes. The safes survived. The things inside, especially paper, cannot withstand the heat. Look into it. Most fireproof safes can only withstand the heat for a few minutes - sorry, that's worthless.
