Is this flammable? I need to put it in a fireplace under pillar candles to catch the wax.

No. This is not flammable. If you hold a flame right under it as if to light it, the best you'll do is remove the golden color from the top. Even the silver underneath stays a shiney silver.

It's not safe to leave it on all of the time. I imagine it could be a fire hazard or the plastic could melt. The wax can turn into a solid when it is turned off and be reheated when turned on to be reused whenever you like. There is no reason to leave it on.

I don't think it gets hot enough to cause something to catch fire. I bought it for my daughter to use in her apartment and she put books and pillows in it. It seemed to work well and gave her some piece of mind.

Not really a great idea.It would burn,but only for a very short time.The reason this fuel works so well in a ventless fireplace,is that it is poured into a reservoir which holds a large amount of fuel,thus a long burn.

On this one, they heat comes out top. If I recall, it is nothing flammable within 12 inches. I found a neat, metal "shelf" @ Hobby Lobby to use as a mantel, of sorts

I would not recommend it. The unit can be VERY smoky when starting it up. It is definitely an open flame. Once the wood has caught fire it behaves like a high intensity gas burner, and is much hotter than charcoal. It's fast and excellent at what it does, but does not do low, slow heat.

I didn't even see that. Since I use it mostly as a face oil and hair conditioner and I keep it in my vanity drawer I m not concern about contact with flame. As with all oil I would think it can be flammable if it comes in contact with flame or fire. Hope this answers your concern

No, as it has no fire resistant insulation. It will not catch fire as it is made from steel but the contents would be damaged if it was in a fire.

I Use This Product For Candle Making And Homemade DIY Products And Trust Me The Heat Gets Very High. I Would Expect You Would Have No Trouble...

Don't see why not. Keep it well stabilized and 4-6 inches off the flame and you should be ok. Make sure you've got even heating to avoid hot-spots.

Yes.... This is a petroleum based product.... It is not highly flammable, but would burn.

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 do not think so because there is no temp. control. Different wax = different melt points. Plus if the unit overheated the wax might smoke or ignite. If it leaked into the heating coil you could have a fire.

No, there is a wax square that is attached to the framework. You light this wax square on fire with match or lighter. The wax will catch on fire. Just be careful to hold the lantern away from your body when you light the wax, as in our case on one of the lanterns the wax block actually fell off and dropped on my husband's chest.

None really. Maybe a little warm. It says you can use it in a zero clearance fireplace. I'll have to tell you that the flame effect is perfect and you do get usable heat. Like any electric heater it uses a lot of current, but I think it's worth it.

No,it can cause a fire. If you get a glass terrarium,preferably an exo terra terrarium, it'll work great though.

it can be but you have to be extremely careful, i took mine to my new place and had it safe in my car the wax was completely hard and yet still managed to get all over the place i had to get a new wax heater. so just put it somewhere safe if you have to travel with it.
