Can embers/flames escape through the spark arrestor?

No they don't. It rusts very easy. I wouldn't recommend after having it for a while.

I don't think I would use it in that situation. It is very open and embers can fly easily out.

What Allen said. It's an open-flame design. Not safe at all for enclosed spaces.

My heater did this and I found that a tiny hole in the pilot flame tube was blocked by dust. I removed the lower panel (tricky without more disassembly) and used a brush and a cotton swab moistened with alcohol to clean the small opening. When I had access I also cleaned the thermocouple that touches the pilot flame. Had to do this twice. The heater has been ok for over a week now. I read about this on a blog about the heater.

More details about the ring, it is a CHOKE. It prevents as much air from being mixed with the fuel as it flows out of the orifice. This is meant to prevent the fairly explosive puff that happens when you first light this heater. I still completely ignore it though. Just turn the fuel valve to max and repeatedly click the igniter (by turning it ALL the way against the spring at the end) until it lights. Keep your face away from the front of the heater when you do.

I am wondering the same thing about the flammability. Did you ever find out the answer?

A little late but posting in case someone else could benefit. We discovered that ours fall out when my kids spark when going in reverse. They had to train themselves to not spark unless they are moving forward. Not the perfect design but my kids love these things.

Barbara, you wouldn't want to do this in any case -it would alter the heat sensitivity of the probes (rendering their readings inaccurate.)The "don'ts" are few and pretty simple: Don't use the wire over the direct open flame, don't get 'em wet, and when you take the probe out of the meat you need to grasp the probe, not tug it out by the wire.Hope this helps.

I read the manual, and definitely NO!!! The danger is that the reduced air flow with two griddles installed may cause the burner to go out, but since gas is still being fed it may reignite and actually explode!!!!!

Not with a fire in it. All of the connector pieces are made of plastic and probably would not hold up to the heat.

Hello, and thank you for your inquiry! The MBF6032E's do not currently have an electrical outlet or USB. However, they do have an access hole. The hole is made through the steel but not the internal fire board sandwiched in between the safe walls. If you choose to utilize the access hole you would drill through the fireboard. You would then use caulking inside the safe around the hole. This procedure is standard and will maintain the integrity of the fire resistance. I am being told that somewhere around April or May, we are going to introduce Gun Safes with electrical outlets. I hope this helps! Thanks again for your inquiry. Feel free to visit us on our website anytime! Kind Regards, Andrea - indeHomes

I never have but I don't forsee any reason why you couldn't. Outside gets hot so pull away from anything flammable.

I'm not sure what the reason would be for doing that, but I don't see why not. you would have to be sure you were not near the stem outlet to prevent a steam burn of course.

You need to adjust the electrode for the ignitor so that the spark from it occurs directly over one of the gas holes in the burner.

Not that I know of. Make sure you are not connecting to natural gas. The flame should be small.

There is no indication associated with this unit that it is spark resistant. I would think that if it was, that information would be provided. You can easily contact the manufacturer

I wouldn't because of fumes. I just use kerosene. I think it would be hard on the heater, ignition n soot build up.
