Can I use this in my open wood burning fireplace with outdoor air intake, & almost closed glass doors?

Directions on the container say, "For open burning fireplaces, this product or Rutland Soot Sweep Soot Remover may be used". That being said, I would want to avoid the fumes as much as possible if it were my open stove.

I've been using in my fireplace for some time now and every time I closed the glass doors. No issues so far.

The instructions say you can use it in an open burning fireplace so I think the answer is yes. We use it in our fireplace regularly and it works great, but we have an insert so we can be more energy efficient since we use it to offset our winter electric.

At least a couple hundred degrees. Aluminum/steel looks to beak down at a pretty high temp. I'm sure as long as the fire isn't touching the fan, you'll be fine. Another question would be, what are you ducting the fireplace with? Or are you just sticking this canfan up there, to exhaust hot air out? You should probably look into something else to vent air out for a fireplace. Unless you use it to vent off heat the the rest of the house.

I would not recommend it as you are using an open flame and natural gas, the fumes are pretty strong coming out of it

Yes you can, in fact I used it on my new wood burning fireplace to joint the isolation on the pipes. Also I use it to isolate the cabling on the entertainment system that I installed on top of the fireplace, after several weeks of researching this was the best product in the market, I would highly recommended, but you got to be carefully while installing it because has fiberglass and it might create a rash on your hands if you don't use protection.

Hi Paul, Wondered if you purchased and used the glass in your vent free fireplace. We have the same and want to purchase for our own use in the home, in the vent free we have.

I use this indoors so I don't have any experience with it outdoors! I would think the elements outside might break it down over time! It's pretty enclosed on the inside so I would think this would get hot on the inside with only airflow through it's one entrance/exit doorway. But with a little alterations like cutting out a window on each side & in the back that would the give u the airflow your looking for. If you know someone that is good with power tools to make the window cutout it would be an easy fix.

I don't think that I would recommend the unit for that type application, the insulated fabric underneath may not be flame proof. Perhaps you should consult with the manufacturers customer service department for info in regard to this idea.

I am sure there must be a small cold air escape factor, but I have not felt an actual draft from the fireplace and I removed my glass doors after putting this on the opening. No complaints.

I am familiar with using fire glass with gas fireplaces (to obscure/hide the gas lines). So in this case, it is a bit different because this fire pit is wood burning. Technically, you could use fire glass with this product, but you would need to have the appropriate burner if you are just using fire glass. If you combine fire glass and logs, you'll have an interesting project to separate the glass from the ash after your fire has died out and the glass has cooled. There are no drainage holes in this fire pit--so if you plan to install a gas burner, you'll need to accommodate for that in your construction plans.

I wouldn't use it too close to a fireplace. It is metal and will get hot to the touch.

Not likely - it's small and designed to be close to the source of the smoke. Suggest you get a table top air circulation fan, that can blow stronger..

First of all, no! Second: Propane should never be used inside - however if you must do so near an open window (with no incoming breeze) for ventilation. It should rest on a piece of granite or ceramic slab (such as a large piece of quarry tile.) A fireplace with a real stone hearth is a good bet (with no fire going.) I do this only in emergencies like the power is out and if the weather is brutally cold/windy or rainy outside. Never leave it untended and don't cook a five course meal - which lengthens your exposure and length of time for something to go wrong.

No... It is intended for use with gas fireplaces. It is a decorative element not a fuel source. Some gas fireplaces use it to cover the burners and the flames come up through the glass and others (like myself) put it around the bottom of the gas logs for a visual shimmer effect.

It couldLike any heater or open flame you need space in front of the unit and perhaps a fireplace screen in front of it. Would not use it around children. Again it's a open heater / flame and all cautions must be used.

Not really a great idea.It would burn,but only for a very short time.The reason this fuel works so well in a ventless fireplace,is that it is poured into a reservoir which holds a large amount of fuel,thus a long burn.

as long as you have a window to exhaust the hot air out of the room,using the window kit.works well.

This is only a guess but no to use this stove you need ventilation........ I would never use it inside. (Unless possibly you set it inside a fire place)
