Can this gel fuel be used in a Real Flame fireplace?

Yes absolutely ! Burns very clean but I still would maybe get a set of ceramic logs to put it behind..

if it is put in the fireplace by itself. no wood can be in the fireplace or any other type of fire going at the same time.

I don't see why not considering that it is not to be used when there is a flame or residual heat. It is meant to keep the cold air from coming down the chimney and it does a great job on that note. It also helps the fireplace look cleaner when not in use. I would call the manufacturer if you are uncomfortable with the information provided by the seller.

No sorry that wouldn't work. You need something like this - Zippo Butane Fuel, 42gm

Yes, the flame looks just like a real fire, love it very nice unit for the money.

I use mine primarily with an alcohol stove but I do not see any reason why you could not use it on the fire.

We have not had smoke from the gel fuel. No experience with fire crystals, so I can't help there - sorry!

Its borosilicate so yes gas burner no prob. It made from same glass as test tube and lab stuff designed for use with a Bunsen burner.Maybe get one of those things that raise it up a bit so as not to sit directly on electric heating element.Bear Grylls can boil water in a plastic bottle, think about it. Medium high heat should be sweet.

I don't see why it couldn't but look up chemical composition and fumes and see if thats alright with you. The flames aren't extreme or anything so it's fine. I agree, the tablets smell like fish that has been out for a while.

Can be, yes, just make sure it doesn't have direct contact with an open flame

It's a flame so I'm sure you could but I don't know how effective it would be. It's like the gel fuel used to keep food hot at a buffet. It's a great decorative fire.

I don't know because I use it with nature gas. I get plenty of flame with NG and recommend that if possible.

Don't see why not. Keep it well stabilized and 4-6 inches off the flame and you should be ok. Make sure you've got even heating to avoid hot-spots.

Frankly.....I wouldn't. I am not a chemist, but I would not want to ingest whatever would burn off the of the Swissmar Fire Gel. Even the flames look a little strange to me. Go skydiving, it might be safer.

I don't use mine for that, but I'm sure it would be excellent for that. Because it is heavy it has excellent heat conduction. Yes, I use mine to make jam - which involves high gas flame ovten for extended time.

You can only use a gel type fuel for this particular unit. We bought this thinking we could use it in the yard for smores.........but it will not work for that. This is more for a decorative look. It is really pretty.............!

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.

Not really, but the coating will discolor and melt off. I would advise against using this on something exposed to flame. At the least it would be a waste of effort putting the coat on.
