how do you use this in a regular (not Gas) fireplace?

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 use it in my outdoor fire pit which is fueled by gas. I don't see how you can use this with a wood burning fireplace.

The same you want to put down a layer of P gravel first, over the gas pipe.

Sorry I am late in responding just received your email - I have my dimplex in my fireplace cavity and the heat is thrust forward for the most part. There are two levels that produce good heat. If your cavity is wood and plastic I would be very careful about using the heater option. We do not use the heat option just the fireplace as it is so realistic looking. It does produce good heat.

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.

You can use lighters, candals inside and the flames aren't as big as them. It MAY leave a SMALL oder so light a candal also n no one will be offended. If u r in your own office dont think twice just use it. Its perectly safe I use my warmer anywhere I want to (unless im in a shoe box size room) ;) I even use it in a closed garage with the lawnmower gas can AND the fuel for the warmer. (dosen't sound smart but its fine). Im going every way to let u know its ok sorry so long. People use it in little ice fishing shacks and carosene heaters also. (thats weird u cant use a plug in your office?)

I leave it on year round to help with heat / cooling loss & drafts. My fireplace is super drafty. It's not perfect, but certainly helps. Don't know that I'd use it until after the fire has cooled down. Not sure how fire proof it is.

First of all, no! Second: Propane should never be used inside - however if you must do so near an open window (with no incoming breeze) for ventilation. It should rest on a piece of granite or ceramic slab (such as a large piece of quarry tile.) A fireplace with a real stone hearth is a good bet (with no fire going.) I do this only in emergencies like the power is out and if the weather is brutally cold/windy or rainy outside. Never leave it untended and don't cook a five course meal - which lengthens your exposure and length of time for something to go wrong.

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

Yes, if the opening of the fireplace is tall enough. You could even shorten it somewhat by sawing a few inches from the bottom of each leg. I'll use it in my fireplace when cold weather gets here.

I throw a scoop of it in on hot coals, close the door & let it sit for a few mins. Then build my fire as usual. It doesn't take alot, just 1 scoop every 3 or 4 fires....seems to work great.

1/ I dont think it will be a problem. 2/ Yes, or all the gas would come out the end. 3/ Sure I would put the flame side facing forward. I found that the draft going thru the fireplace pushed the flames back too far. So, I turned the device around and it hit more wood. Addtionally, for everyones sake. Know that this will take more gas to get the wood going. Because you are not using Kindling, just logs, the temp of the fire takes a while to build up in order to get enough coals to sustain the logs. Turn the gas off too soon and the fire will die.

I use a charcoal chimney to light natural charcoal. Be sure that charcoal is well lit.

At least a couple hundred degrees. Aluminum/steel looks to beak down at a pretty high temp. I'm sure as long as the fire isn't touching the fan, you'll be fine. Another question would be, what are you ducting the fireplace with? Or are you just sticking this canfan up there, to exhaust hot air out? You should probably look into something else to vent air out for a fireplace. Unless you use it to vent off heat the the rest of the house.

Honestly I don't know, I've always used it as decoration to stage my homes before selling them. Try asking someone at a store that sells gas fireplaces or gas heaters to be on the safe side.

I one I got from amazon,it worked with a little help from me. I couldn't find and exact match even though the one from amazon said it was. It still ran a little small. I stretched it out with a hammer and something hard and round because the bottom is the wavy metal. if I were you I would go with something a little big then you can make cuts and have it the right size that you need. Then get some high temperature silicone that it black and fill in any gaps that you have. I have used this method for two years now and it works great! No smoke leaking out or anything. Although being new to a fireplace I did get it over hot one time and the silicon cracked but I just reapplied and no problems. I smoothed it out with a wet finger and it looks great also. Hope this helps!

I wouldn't use it too close to a fireplace. It is metal and will get hot to the touch.

If you are running this fireplace a lot we use a dehumidifier to get rid of excess water. I don't know about the burnt gasses. You are not supposed to use a vent free fireplace as your only heat source.
