Will these work for Burning Man? I was warned the little vents and slight open sides could let dust in. Should I tape the vents? I just bought them.

YES! That's exactly what I bought them for! :) Be sure to to get some anti-fog wipes and you'll have no problem. This were amazing for the desert I didn't need to tape the vents and I was there in 2012 when the dust was a nightmare. The straps adjust so you can make them tighter on your face if you need them. :D

It is totally possible. I'd suggest getting some kind of tray if your burner doesn't have any. (Mine did.) You'll need to pile it up fairly high if you want the gas to be dispersed through it. Two bags, I'd say. And you should be aware, this stuff is like broken bits of safety glass. If you want a "pretty" effect, I'd spend more money and get the polished kind of fire-glass.

Yes - they will burn well outdoors. Once these are lit and either glowing red on both side - or gray on the outside, these will not blow out and will work great.

They are kind of smokey so wouldn't use in a small closed room. You also need something to hold it and catch the ash. I've burned it in a tall metal vase filled with sand. I've also just stuck it in my fireplace balanced against the grate.

Not sure about that. There is a vent in the top that might allow dust to enter if blown in by heavy winds, but other than that, no more so than any other tent. Also, it's got a large profile to wind, so if that's your concern, might be an issue.

They will still light, even after an extended period of time outside of the foil package. We use them to start our Weber FirePit and I've been careful to pop each cube individually like a pill in a blister pack. My wife thought the foil was supposed to be peeled all the way off the backside, so that is what she did one time. The remaining cubes sat outside in the elements with almost no protection and they still lit as good as if they were still in the foil. They did dry out, but I don't think it affected the lighting of the cube.

Shawn, My zippers blew out in the first week. There are other brands I would look at. I picked up another brand that can withstand the use that the Teton couldn't. Don't let the seeming reasonable price suck you in. I just ate the tent. The customer service folks wanted me to do the mail it back baloney but the time and effort would negate the "seeming" good price. Hope this helps.....:)

Yes. They used em for a wildfire near my house and now it looks like a ball pit At chucky cheeses. Honestly, No. These are not fireproof. Sorry

These should work fine for the job you describe. They are very good for that type of particulate.

They are coated with paint so I would not recommend it unless you are willing to take the risk of accidentally turning on the wrong burner.

I use masking tape. It's ripped some paint off in the process, so in hindsight, I would have put a first layer of tape down and then taped the filter on top of that layer and then just peeled off of tape rather than wall. Eventually taking off that first tape layer may take some paint but it would be easier to paint over than the mess I've made. Good luck! Sounds like you want to use these like I do, to catch dust coming out of the vents I'm guessing. They work well for that.

Hi CaptTurbo,They will work if you wrap them in heavy duty foil and poke a hole in 1 place a bit bigger then a pencil, hole up on burner. It will smoke good!

These ARE paper thin, and if the lighting is cool to warm, they should work well for you. They did not work well in my application however. They were sold as being able to be used with hot theatrical lighting, but they will melt and ruin anything moderately hot that they come in contact with. Hope this helps.

The way they are vented, I doubt they would keep out much dust. I use them street riding, great for that. Although, for the small price and solid quality I would pick up a pair and try it.

We used our Chinook Trekker Set camping this summer. Biscuits were a problem and left residue that will NOT come out regardless of the scrubbing (short of steel wool which would ruin the Anodized coating). The bottoms got blackened, but I'm not sure if this is a problem or even avoidable. Since then I've learned you are supposed to cook over COALS not open flames... WHOOPS. I'm sure it would have been fine had I known that little fact.

I'm afraid I can help with this one. I have yet to use my tent. I bought it for my survival gear and haven't had the opportunity as yet to check it out. Sorry. Will do a follow up entry as soon as I do though.

Sorry, we used them for BurningMan! They worked great but I don't know about over a helmet, we never tried :)
