These seem temperamental to me. Can they be used safely indoors with yellow HEET?

Yellow heat is toxic when used indoors. I use denatured alcohol indoors with no issues. They are not temperamental at all and burn nicely. I use it in my RV to heat water for hot tea and grilled cheese sandwiches. Denatured alcohol is cheaper than Heet anyway.

very safe indoors or out. they must be set up on stable surface. The can spill if knocked over. I think heet will work, methyl alcohol without the brand name might be cheaper. I have used rubbing alcohol too. I carried on all over Alaska in the woods as a surveyor and geologist for fifty years. They always worked when I need them. Good Luck

The bottom and sides can get extremely hot. I would not use this stove unless resting on a non flamable surface and with anything flamable (even a plastic cup) within 15 inches of it. The head can scorch a table top and melt plastic nearby. It would eventually cause a wooden table to catch on fire.

They are not really safe to use indoors. Any combustion will have carbon monoxide as a byproduct which is not safe to have in the house. There is also the issue of possible tipping of the burner. I have used mine in a drafty garage and it worked well.

For me there far from temperamental it's start quickly doesn't flare like most of my alcohol stove do.

I have not had any problems using the stove outside. I would not use the yellow HEET indoors. To be on the safe side. I think it could be toxic to breathe the fumes so I would want a lot of ventilation.

Heat is kind of toxic for indoors. And as far as temperamental I've had no problems burns well.

They can absolutely be used indoors. Just make sure the floor and the bottom of the Spooner is clean!

I used these with Christmas regular and led lights and there was not any flicking. I did not use them for any indoor higher powered lights, so I can't answer for those type.

I use them indoors right now, but I would think a strong wind would knock them over. Someone else suggested filling them with sand to keep them steady.

I have them in my son's room so that has not been something that i've had to deal with. Unfortunately i can't say whether they will work or not,sorry.

Yes, they are for indoor use only. I love mine, haven't had any issues with them at all. They are on 24/7 in my dressing room.

I would definitely not use one of these in your kitchen or even indoors for that matter! I use these on breweries where we have the proper flame guards and safeties in place to prevent burning the building down. This burner will get far too hot for every day kitchen cooking and gives off a pretty decent flame.

While I see no reason they couldn't be used indoors, they are designed to withstand outdoor environment. The top of the fan blades are not as nice looking, so in a vaulted ceiling room with overlooking hallways, I could not recommend for such an application. In my application, you cannot see the upper side, so they work just fine. For outdoors, I am very pleased with these, and the fan blades have held up nicely in our humid environment, where I've seen others droop/sag over time in such humidity.

This is a mixture of natural essential oils so yes, this is safe to use indoors.

If these are the ones with blue on one side and yellow on the other, I really don't like them as well as just plain yellow ones. These you have to shape and they are so sticky. Not sure if the lights will interfer with them. Sorry I can't give you a definite answer on that.

they can be used in a house but it probably wouldn't be ideal. to get the full range out of them, they need a good amount of power. and they are also quite large so unless you got a large space in your home for them and are able to crank them, they would probably be overkill.

That was a problem I had with them, too. My solution at the time was to lengthen the harp on the light. I also used them in an overhead fan that had four bulbs. I had to loosen the globe and make the area roomier, if you will, in order to get it to work. I am not disappointed in them. They put out very little heat and are easily controllable with a dimmer. One thing that I did find out, if you try to use them in a light that has a three position switch, they will not work. It had to be a dimmable switch.

If they are charged they should be fine indoors. They have a small on/off switch on the top. They are not really bright but would be quite handy in an outage. I will have to keep that in mind :)

It is not approved for indoor use, I don't think any are. I have never had any issues using it indoors, and it works quite well as well. I believe I remember the same statement "not approved for indoor use" on the ones I used for table side service when I was in fine dining. (great for flaming deserts) I think it would likely need a complicated oxygen sensor with cut off to be approved for indoor use, seems like that would be more effort than it was worth as this should never be used unattended.

I've been using mine outdoors. No issues what so ever. I'm guessing it would be fine to use indoors as well.

I personally wouldn't use them inside the garage, because I have gas cans, mowers, weedeat eaters, etc in there, and don't want to take the risk of anything getting ignited. I've read some of the reviews, where other people use these things inside their homes, and I wouldn't recommend that, either. I would think that these would probably be effective in the garage, as you mentioned, with the door open, just be careful when you're lighting them, if you have fuel cans etc around. By the way, I also prefer the PIC coils to this brand, but have bought this brand a couple of times because the price was so low. I feel this brand breaks as you're trying to separate the coils more frequently than the PiC brand.. Probably just my opinion!

Just to see if they work, try using them individually and see what happens. The only concern I'd have is foreign material getting inside the jack holes and messing up the connections or that the prongs on the outside are perfectly intact. If they work for an entire day, you're in business I'd say; otherwise, these are not very expensive to purchase. Good Luck!
