I don't get it it. The burner is disposable? I saw an answer that said it might only last 16-20 hours. That could be one campfire.

The burner is not a throw away item. It uses standard propane tanks as the energy source. You can easily adjust the intensity of the flame. There is no smoke or ash to be concerned with. When you are finished using it, just turn it off. It is wonderful not having to be concerned about firewood. The reference to 16-20 hours is in relationship to a 20 pound LP tank. Not very often you would want a fire going for that period of time. The Campfire in a Can can be turn on/off instantly. Safer, cleaner, and legal to use in most dry areas.

I've never run it long enough to definitively calculate its duration. I also moved the tank when I needed it for my grill. However I can attest that it will burn for many evenings.

Yeah had the same issue. Headed up with in 10 mins of use. The manual does mention not to use it for prolonged periods though. Mine didn't last too long after it started heating up

I too just got back from a camping trip and everything worked like a charm. Both burners operated without any missteps. All I can surmise is perhaps a connection may have jiggled loose during shipping. Try opening up the top and looking at the connections under the burner plate. I would further check the burners in an opposite direction...try lighting the burner that did not light first and see what happens. I'm glad mine worked ok while I was out camping, because it is truly a heavy duty piece of camping equipment that will last for years.

I only used it last summer while camping about three times for a few minutes at a time so I guess I am not a good one to ask that question. I only bought it for camping. Sorry I couldn't help you out. I will use it again this summer so will see if it is still good.

Save your money. IF you get one that works it will not last long before the flame does not shut off when the button is released. The two I bought were sent back, as requested by the vendor to be replaced and were never seen again nor was my account credited. I'm out the price of the two lighter plus the eight dollars of return postage. Good Luck.

Probably not a good idea. I bet the 20 minutes is not only for safety, but also because this thing probably only has a 20 minute duty cycle. You'll probably burn it up

You can get several thousand strikes from it. If you camped for 3 months and had to make a fire every day it would you would still be enough for another 3 months. The striker will probably were out first, so bring a knife and use the back. I'll probably loose if before I were it out.

Roughly 15 minutes. They will burn when damp or wet due to humidity, rain or closeness to water sources like waterfalls/ocean too, so theyre ideal for camping or picnics. If they ever melt due to being left out in the sun, heat or you forget them in a closed truck, camper or car, they can still be used in bits and pieces. The only things I've found as cheap and easy to use are fire starter logs (break it hack off what you need, as needed; but I do this one for firepits not food cooking ), and the homemade ones where you melt paraffin wax into cardboard or paper egg cartons, and break off sections of that as needed.

That depends on how high you run the burner...full open you would probably get 3.5-4 hours. I normally run mine about 2/3 open and can get around 6 hours.

I use my stove quite often and a can typically lasts a couple hours at high flame. I conserve but otherwise boiling a large pot of water is simple and quick with this fuel.

From what I can see the burners are not replaceable. I have used this burner many times and have had no trouble with the burners at all.

Maybe he just got a faulty one? I know my fires never get that big too, but I haven't melted any of my camping gear yet!

We use our Fire Dancer occasionally and we also use the same tank for our grill. We have run it for 2-3 hours probably 3 times. We still have not run out of propane. It puts off some heat but it's not the same as having a regular fire pit with wood. Still it works for us and we don't smell like smoke after. We even use ours to roast marshmallows. Hope this helps.

the pads lasts 2-3 hours each & the butane for 3-4 pads (my best guess) Just used mine this weekend & it was VERY obvious when the pad wore out or the butane was gone as the bugs came in ....sorry I don't have a more exact answer but it was a very active camping music festival weekend and clocks were NOT allowed!

If it is used for an actual fire, the heat could compromise its strength, rendering it unsafe for another usage. For such a low price, might as well replace it after a fire.

My firepot holds about 6 ounces and it burns for about 1 1/2 hours. The flame will make a crackle noise every once in a while but it is mostly silent.
