Can this be used in a wood fireplace? How long does it burn? Can it be relit if it goes out?

Sorry, I cannot answer that question, except to tell you the fire glass doesn't burn up. It can be relit.

It is not fuel. It is bits of colored glass that you place over a gas fire pit and the flames come up through the glass as if the were on fire, but they don't burn.

No... It is intended for use with gas fireplaces. It is a decorative element not a fuel source. Some gas fireplaces use it to cover the burners and the flames come up through the glass and others (like myself) put it around the bottom of the gas logs for a visual shimmer effect.

It needs to be used with gas. The glass does not burn and is pretty much just for looks in a gas fire pit.

We've had ours almost a year. Use it a couple times a month in spring and summer, weekly in winter. Do nothing other than empty ashes and lean it against a wall. Holding up great. Best one we've ever had.(Fire can be built up to last at most 6 hours if you use good hard wood.)

It doesn't burn at all... You have to use it in a Gas Fireplace or Fire Pit.When you turn off the Gas it goes out.

We put hot wood ashes from the camp fire and cook steaks with it. It is not big enough for any logs, but you could use small stuff and wood chips. It is habachi style.

You can not use it on a wood deck, you will burn it down! It gets very hot. You could put it on bricks or a stone slab.

That entirely depends on you you plumb it in. If you just put it inline with the gas supply, you'd have to turn it on every time, and the fireplace would turn off after the timer ends (max 1 hour) unless you turn the dial again. This is how I have it setup with my gas grill. You could also plumb it in with a bypass valve so that opening the valve would bypass the timer, and your fireplace would run forever.

I burn wood, duraflame, craklin flame, dirty wood...etc...A great pit for the money. I use 1 to 2 times a week and more in the summer..i recommend a cover though

Hi there, Yes, the fireplace can be used without expelling any heat. The thermostat on it can be changed, as well as the brightness of the flames. Thanks for your question -Wishack

You can spray it on wood but it won't stop wood from burning if it reaches its autoignition temperature of about 570 degrees F. It is designed to slow the speed it takes for materials to ignite from an open flame.

I have only used them for hardwood fires, but may I say that the squares are easily lit and stay lit for 10 minutes or longer, and as long as some air is provided I believe they would light just about any burnable substance. I do however use two adjoining squares instead of one and have never had a problem with them lighting even the largest of logs. I hope this has helped.

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.

This fireplace doesn't get hot around it, the blower faces towards the front, and warm air shoots out.We have a Flat screen above it, they don't touch, and the fireplace is free standing, I think I would hesitate to close it in. Hopefully this helps.We really like how it looks as well as how it heats the room.

Dear SFL, I have used it indoors once during a power outage nin LA, I took all the precautions as when using it ourdoors and then some, such as making sure doors and windows are open for ventilation, no flammable objects at least 3 ft away, kept flame as low as possible, and did not leave stove unattended during use, furthermore I had a fire extinguisher close by just in case, in short, it is not recommended to use it idoors, but not ruled out either during an emergency. Hope my 5 cents help.Regards, Manuel

It couldLike any heater or open flame you need space in front of the unit and perhaps a fireplace screen in front of it. Would not use it around children. Again it's a open heater / flame and all cautions must be used.

Why couldn't you put a candle inside it? I don't see why one couldn't use it with a tiny fire inside and melt scented wax in the tiny pot, why would that be a fire hazard?

It is difficult to answer your first question because we have a large household and the electric bill is driven by so many other factors. it also depends on how cold it is and whether we decide to build a fire in out fireplace insert to not. We have two of these type units. This one is much quieter than the second brand we use. Very good quality. We use it as a space heater on our family room and have it on anywhere from a couple of hours to 10 or 12 hours depending on the circumstances. We are very happy with this product. I hope that helps.

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.
