Can you turn it off/put it out or do you have to wait until the fuel is burned out?

Other reviewers say it can be snuffed by putting it in a ziplock bag or something else to deprive it of oxygen.

Sorry for the delay. Yuou put it out by removing the burner inside the unit. It's real easy actually, but you have to use gloves or a flameproof object to remove it because it will be hot. Then just set it down and let it go out. It just glows then goes out. Another problem is that the burner fits loose on the top and it always falls off. Not worth it to me. Hope this info helps

You can remove the element to make it go out, it is a catalytic reaction causing the heat and that is interrupted by removing the element. However, your fuel will just continue to evaporate about as fast as it would have burnt anyways, this is not a sealed unit and wont hold fuel for more than a day or two unlitYou can adjust the heat by adjusting the tightness of the bag, or removing it completely, more oxygen, more heat, but too little will mean it goes out. Hope this helps

Just use the felt pouch to pull the burner off, it will go out really quickly. Note that whatever fuel is still in the reservoir will probably evaporate before you use it again. But after some use you can get a good idea of how long a certain amount of fuel will last. It doesn't take much to run for several hours.

The handwarmer isn't designed to be turned on and off. Once its going you have to let it burn through its fuel. However of course you can definitely find ways to interrupt the burner and stop. There is just not a function built in for that purpose

Just wait till it uses all the fluid. A little goes a long way. Full it lasted me around 26hrs. Periodicly taking it out to get real hot then back in the bag.

I have to put it out & also allow it to burn off, yet the wick will not light to allow the hand warmer to heat up. I've tried it several times without success.

The fuel tank is removable. I'm not sure about leaving the heater running as I never did that.

About 3 hours although you can shut the unit off when you are done using it to save fuel.

Better turn it off as soon as the power outage happens. Don't take risks with space heaters, no matter how safe they are.

on the side there is a lever that engages the fuel, when done i push the lever to disengage. i dont remove because it is just laying in the bin and will cause no harm. the care taken should be, not to use too large a pan, which may trap heat if doing a long cook. this may force heat down to the cannister and cause it to explode. i stir fry or scramble eggs a lot, so not a concern. this may be rare, but read some safety concerns by googleing dangers of butane stoves. i will say, have used them for 20+ years and no issue. oh! i paid a little over a dollar each for fuel at lee lees in chandler,az.........asian market. on the side there is a lever that engages the fuel, when done i push the lever to disengage. i dont remove because it is just laying in the bin and will cause no harm. the care taken should be, not to use too large a pan, which may trap heat if doing a long cook. this may force heat down to the cannister and cause it to explode. i stir fry or scramble eggs a lot, so not a concern. this may be rare, but read some safety concerns by googleing dangers of butane stoves. i will say, have used them for 20+ years and no issue. oh! i paid a little over a dollar each for fuel at lee lees in... » Read More on the side there is a lever that engages the fuel, when done i push the lever to disengage. i dont remove because it is just laying in the bin and will cause no harm. the care taken should be, not to use too large a pan, which may trap heat if doing a long cook. this may force heat down to the cannister and cause it to explode. i stir fry or scramble eggs a lot, so not a concern. this may be rare, but read some safety concerns by googleing dangers of butane stoves. i will say, have used them for 20+ years and no issue. oh! i paid a little over a dollar each for fuel at lee lees in chandler,az.........asian market. « Show Less

I generally take mine off the burner at the first sign of a faint whistle so I'm not sure what happens if I let it go longer.

Since I use mine constantly day and night, I seldom turn it off. The only way I know of is to turn off the electric, but as soon as one batch of food comes out during the growing season, another goes in. The heat is not wasted that way. I check often to see if some foods have dehydrated enough, take them out, and replace them with others that are waiting their turn. When harvest season is over, it will be unplugged, and stored until harvest begins again in the spring.

No, not even for a short time. For this application, you will probably need to use a fuel burning appliance, outside the vehicle.

You can always turn OFF the circuit breaker, timer or not. You would have to reset the timer when you turn back ON. This would be my first choice for long periods of idle, for safety reasons. What is not ON can not burn up.

Take the fuel line off at the carburetor and drain the fuel into a jug. Always turn the fuel petcock off when shutting the generator down and let the engine run until it draws all of the fuel out of the float bowl to save major trouble later on.

Fuel tank is removable. However i have never tried refueling while it was lit i don't see any reason why u couldn't.

Zippo tells you to let it burn out on it's own but you can just take the catalytic top off. Let it cool down completely for maybe 10 minutes or more and it's done burning.

The flame can be adjusted once lit. You do not have to remove the tank...there is a dial to turn it off or adjust.

There is a timer for up to 2 hours and then it will shut off. If you don't use the timer you would set the cooking temperature to a low value and you check the stock as it simmers. Saying that, we have not used it for more than an hour or so at one time but I don't see why you couldn't use it for a longer time.From the manual "The timer is an optional function. You can either choose one of the preprogrammed times or you can use the Cooktop without setting a time.We have had the Cooktop for almost 2 months and so far are very pleased with it's operation.

There is a little round dial that adjusts the gas flow on the handle, also you could turn up the gas from your tank. Be careful turning it all off.. I turn off the tank first and then hold the handle down until the fire is out. Then rotate the knob on the handle off and tight.

I never turn mine off. The heated fluid works great on "bug juice". Removing the inline fuse on the main electrical line will turn it off, if you need/want to.

Yes, this is how I use it. During the initial break in you may want to set the clock and timer so you don't have to remember to turn it off after it's burn in period but other than that the timer is not needed.
