Can flame/ember escape through spark screen?

Yes (flames), if the fire is large. Must be used outdoors. We feel pretty safe in terms of fire hazard as long as we use it outdoors. Hope this answers your query

There are two different sized screens on the fire pit. The screen material cover the sides is roughly 1/4" X 1/4" (maybe 3/16") and we've never had anything come through it. Honestly the screen material across the top is pretty tight, maybe 1/8" x 1/8", but we rarely, if ever, leave the top on. I would think if you're burning something like pine exclusively, or something kinda wet, it might. Honestly though we've never had the issue other than the occasional "pop".

I haven't had that problem. We use it in our backyard. The screen size is pretty small. It's a very very very nice firepit and we really enjoy it.

Yes the flame can escape through the top screen if the fire is big enough or if it's windy. Embers as well.

it should work with the mesh screen and you may have to add extra magnets or whateverto seal off all of the fireplace opening

This pit gets extremely hot underneath. Make sure to follow instructions about sand and put on blocks or some thick bricks/stone. Sparks do find their way out of protective screen.

This is not designed to have direct access to the flame therefore I would not recommend doing it because you may end up disrupting the flame and blowing it `out.

I have not had a problem igniting the soldering tip as long as the little air hole is pointed up. You can see the flame thru this hole

I have never experienced it as of yet, even when using the flame at a high level. That doesn't mean that it won't happen, it just hasn't happened for me.

The cover screen? Yes it comes with it. Not sure what a "spark" screen is--if it's different.

Yes you can. I have done it myself and it works great as a windscreen. Bear in mind that you have to insert it from the fuel port and you have to angle it for it to fit. So it can be done although it doesn't fit though the port easily. I need to correct myself. It actually fits in the Foldable pocket cooker perfectly without any problem whatsoever. It's when I put my Trangia inside my Emberlit that I have to use caution because it has to be top loaded and not through the fuel port.

It would not be easy to remove it as it is sodered into the panels. The mesh is what makes it a "safety" screen as without it, embers would be able to pass through easily. I don't think it detracts from the overall look of the screen. It is a very attractive screen and we are very happy with it. TM

Assuming the balcony is not very large, I wouldn't recommend it. Although the sections have screens to contain sparks and embers, some will still escape.

I do not believe so. It has glass "rocks" that are included that dissipate the flame. All in all very pleased with the unit. Only complaint is cheap cover.

You have to press the key for a long time to let the gas come through.. Gas is low pressure and it may take 2 mins to get to the heater. press and hold for sometime then hit the ignite switch. Good luck!

I would not advise using in a regular fireplace for two reasons; the smoke will tarnish the glass and the burnt embers would mix with the glass.

I just went out in the garage and tried it with a spark striker and yes it lights fine. Could use a lighter or match as well. Just hold the button down like normal.

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