I wouldn't suggest trying to heat your home with it but for dinner, coffee, etc. it's no different than a gas stove.

I think that M. Brown is correct but I doubt that the manufacturer would recommend it themselves because of the liability. There would be inherent danger from setting any kind of a moveable open flame burner on a counter top, so you would want to use extreme caution, especially around children or pets. We are used to making sure that there are no flammable objects like towels or paper around our regular stove, but with a unit like this you would need to be especially thoughtful about placement and conscientious when cooking. If I needed to use mine indoors I would not hesitate to do so myself, but I would stay right there with it. I think that M.

You take it upon yourself when you do, obviously, but I have used it indoors several times with no problems. Keep the flame low, keep it near an open window or door, and do not leave it unattended. I open the back glass of my truck, open the case & turn it upside down to use as a counter, and set the stove on the case near the open glass. I cook with mine daily and so far, so good. Hope this helps! Also, hit the flea markets for butane, they're about $2 per can.

I use mine inside. As I live in a tropical climate in Southeast Texas, I can't give a definitive answer.

Not recommended - it is rated for indoor use only - and if you go outside and it gets broken, the warranty is void.

I've never used it inside, but I would think that it is. I've read on reviews that people have used it indoors during power outages. The fire isn't big.

I do not think this is for use outdoors--I believe is is for indoor use only but you could check with the manufacturer.

This unit is intended to be used indoors. If you want to use it for an outdoor system it has to be in some type of waterproof container. Otherwise it's a great timer.

I would NOT use this particular model indoors. It uses propane and needs to be vented.

Personally, I would not use this indoors...it is a dispenser of soap, as a base after all...and will leave residue on open surfaces and if enough is used...could cause someone to slip and fall....I've had no problems..but I only use mine outdoors.

The one I purchased says that if it is not marked for outdoor use, it is ONLY for use indoors. And mine is NOT marked outdoor. So, my guess is no.

I don't believe so. If I remember correctly this is only rated for indoor use.

Don't think it's because your using outdoors, it's labeled for indoor or out door use. I use two of them in my outdoor security lights, and have not had any problems. My lights are protected by the roof overhang, but even if they weren't the fixture is sealed well enough to keep the weather out. it sound like others have mentioned, a loose bulb, or a loose electrical wire connection

No. This unit should be placed indoors or in an area not exposed to the elements.

Tim, I only use it inside. Maybe you might call the manufacturer to find an answer????

No, this is definitely indoor use only. It says "for indoor use only on packaging."

The Manufacturer says for out door use only. I have used other units like this in doors and will use this one. You must keep the space where it is well ventilated to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. And like any space heater keep all flammable items away from it.

Not safe for any indoor application. Same concept with gas grill, would you use that in your garage? If so, make sure the insurance is paid.

No this unit as it is can not be used indoors. This is because the exhaust comes out of the top. There are many other units that can be exhausted to the outside for indoor use.
