can this burner be used on a wooden deck?

I would never want to suggest doing anything that could be dangerous, and I think operating a propane burner on a wooden surface may present a fire hazard. Those burners can reflect a considerable amount of heat downward, and I have noticed that the concrete floor of my garage is quite warm after using the burner. That said, you could minimize the risk by setting the burner atop some cinder blocks to raise it above the deck. Make sure the blocks are stable and don't wobble.

I don't think you would have any issues with firing up on a wood deck, just keep it away from any railings or awnings. However, you would be better off playing it safe. It still wouldn't hurt to buy a few pieces of ceramic floor tile or cinder block and place them under the burner.

You could. The flame is about 10 inches above the surface. There is no wind protection for this unit so the slightest breeze makes the flame flutter. Some people put something around the flame if there is wind to keep it from blowing out. I wouldn't do something like that on a wood deck but other than that there shouldn't be an issue with the flame and the wood. Be careful of boil overs.

I use it on my wooden deck every time and I've not had a problem. It doesn't even discolor it. Get a sheet of cement backer-board (used under floor tiling) to put underneath if you're worried.

Yes, that's how I use it with no problem. Just don't put the flame too high and have the it slightly off to the side of the burner grate so the handle doesn't get hot.

I would not feel safe burning a fire on a wood deck. It's sits pretty low, so it may get hot underneath.

Sorry that I have no idea. I am using it on my wood deck but works great! Saved it from a few burn marks.

It had a finish on it, and I don't know that much about wood burning, so I'm not sure. I wouldn't think so, though, since it would damage the finish. My daughter was pleased with what was on it already.

It All Depends on the size of the burner, I use mine on a propane burner that is on the side of my BBQ grill and it works fine. I've baked beer bread in it a # of times .

Best advise I can give is go vendor site for that burner. It lists the hp models that deck will work in.

I have not tried this on wood. I have only used this on metal, but you can certainly try. Per manufacturer's specifications it can be used on furniture. It should be more than fine on a deck. I hope it helps.

I would never burn anything on a deck attached to a house other than a specifically designed item such as a grill. Fire and decks equal no house, or at the very least costly damage. If you don't have a better location I would not recommend a fire pit that burns wood. Maybe a specially designed gas pit if it must be on the deck.

Yes you should be able to but it will be tricky covering the burner with logsso that it is not exposed

If you have somethying to cook it on. I use mine outdoors on the grill side burner as it omits a steady stream of stem from the hole in the top.

I think anytime you are using something with fire in it you want to put it on a base that is non-flammable but, the dampers are on the side of this grill instead of the bottom so no ash or coals can fall out of the bottom. You will probably be fine. I used mine on my wood deck on top of one of those grill mats you can buy at home depot.

Nope. It would totally work to burn bits of wood too. (I would remove the round esbit plate though.) This is part of why I love this little guy!

We use in on our concrete driveway but I can't imagine the deck would be a problem. It's very hot of course, but I don't believe hot enough to start a fire or char the wood.

I think using this on a wooden deck would be inviting trouble. The Weber doesn't have screened sides either so a coal popping out of the fire onto the deck could easily happen. I think your better off using a chimnea and although not sold at amazon, I really like the big green egg ones - http://www.biggreenegg.com/chiminea.html Good luck.

I use it in my outdoor fire pit which is fueled by gas. I don't see how you can use this with a wood burning fireplace.

I don't see why not, I do follow instructions of not putting the burner on high. So far everything has been great!
