How long does the candle/material that gives off the heat last? What if it comes down in a grassy field?

I'm guessing approx. 5 minutes of flight time. As Paul stated, once it takes flight balloon shouldn't come down until heat source (flame) is out. As with any product use caution. Allan

Also I am guessing 5 minutes or so. Really depends on what type of sky lantern you buy. I read descriptions carefully to make sure they are quality lanterns. They are usually good size in width and height. The fuel cell should be 3" at least and already attached to the frame. When the flame starts to go out the lantern will slowly come to the ground. It should be extinguished by then. Use caution in dry conditions. And never in real windy weather.

We've launched a dozen or so and they last about 5 minutes. As for coming down in a grassy field, it's kind of self-correcting: as long as the flame is lit, there's heat that keeps it at a good altitude. Only when the flame goes out does the balloon come down. Nevertheless, any responsible/intelligent person wouldn't launch one of these things in drought conditions. By the way, do consider the metal ring that forms the base of the balloon. I expect it's kind of annoying for anyone who finds one of those things in their yard. The balloons can travel about a mile, depending on the wind - so take that into consideration, as well.

I didn't time it, but I would say it stayed lit for 2 to 3 mins. You would have a fire if it would come down before it burnt out.I waited after a rain to be on the safe side...

The lantern continues to rise from the heat of flame. It only stops ascending when the flame is extinguished. Therefore the fire is out before it falls to the ground.

Lay it on ground a little while so it will dry. Do not leave on grassy area more than 15 minutes in extreme heat or it will kill the grass. Fold outer most edge in the first seam to the next seam (they are typically 2 feet apart). Do this over and over till completely done. Roll it from one end to the other in a tight roll and tie with rope. This is definitely a 2-person task.

You can keep the flame low and direct it at a small area. Beware that if those weeds actually catch fire, rather than just wilt to die, you will need something handy to put out the flames so as to not burn the grass. I love using our Red Dragon -- more natural and a lot less chemical use around here now.

Don't know. Ours is in the desert and we brought it in for the summer when we leave.115 degree plus days is pretty hot. Obviously it will last longer if it can be brought out of the harsh elements.

Not sure exactly, we have six people in our house so usually doesn't last long. I know its still hot after 3-4 hours.

I would not use it in a candle as heat does destroy some of the elements of essential oils. I would recommend buying a cold evaporatin diffuser instead. You can buy one that operates with batteries if you don't have an outdoor outlet where you want to use it. However if there is a breeze placement is important.

Hi. I bought this last year. Love it. It does generate heat. A fill up of ethanol lasts about 3-4 hours. I use it in a 300-400 square feet room and it gets quite cozy fast. Heats up the room nicely. I bought it exactly for that as I cant turn on my electrical heater because my sofa is right in front. For complimentary heating in cooler winter nights, it does the job. But you can't leave it on unattended. So if looking for heat overnight, this is not it. Its also very pretty, sets a great ambiance. I also use it on my patio.

I gives a little heat, but I only use it outside on my deck. Don't expect it to keep you warm on a chilly evening outside... it's more for a light glow and ambience. Perhaps in an enclosed area it would warm the space.

I think it would last in a house for a long period of time. I've used it camping for three weeks straight and besides have to pump it up with air again for time to time, it was good. I would not use it as a permanent solution though. You will notice the effect it has on your body over time, just like camping in the same spot you start to notice evey root and rock your tent is on. For lasting longer, don't keep it near any sort of heat sources and keep it out of the sun.

Probably just where the legs are, but I'm only guessing. The paver bricks that we have it on don't get hot at all but those would definitely kill your grass!

I used it outside at sporting events. It has a protective grate on it, but stuff could still melt on it. I read others have used it in tents.

I often use the table's tank as a back up when my bbq tank runs out so not not really sure, Sorry don't have a firm answer for you, seems to last a fair amount of time. btw, the table is extremely well made and thought, I'm very happy with it, that said, even on it's highest setting it does not generate that much heat, it's more atmospher then heater. This due to the large perimeter around the flame, the bonus side of which makes it possible to actually have plates and drinks on the table when the flame is on.. best, Michael

We used the table last night. I have a wok I put on top iof the flame and cook in it. This is a better table than the more expensive ones. I know. I have one of those in NC. We added more lave rock and logs. After it's been buring for about 20 minutes they all start to glow and radiate heat. We actually have to turn it down. Hope this helps you. It's a great table but I'd buy extra gravel and a set of logs.

U must b smoking the grass. Even if u didnt have a fire, covering the grass up w/ a heavy object where sun light cant get thru is gonna kill the grass.

Depends? If it is really hot outside and you leave it up for a long time Yes it has left our grass looking a bit burnt. We typically cut the grass a few days before we plan to put it up and then if it is dry out we use the sprinkler to wet the grass the night b4 in the area we plan to put the slip and slide up. We try not to leave the slip slide up for more than 48hrs. We use ours twice a year for big parties and have had it years and I still think it is worth the extra effort for those big events you want a WOW effect at.

We use these for two outdoor real flame fire bowls and if we use one bottle between the two bowls it lasts a little less than two hours. I really like the flames and the clean burn, but wish it lasted longer.

As I recall the flame is only 6 to 8 inches long-however the heat extends a much greater distance. On the first use I burned leaves on bushes that I thought were beyond the range of the flame and my shoe laces. Thereafter I put a bucket of water in a wagon and pulled it along just in case. The wagon also held the propane tank. The Hot Max saved hours of weed pulling.
