Can you use this on a wood burning fireplace firebox?

Yes especially if it is an alloy box but if the box is made of wood you might want to seal and prime it with the high temperature primer first and make sure that there are no cracks before you go over it with the rust oleum high temp paint, for best results!

Yes,that is what we used it for and it and looks great ,withstood the extreme heat also

I think using this on a wooden deck would be inviting trouble. The Weber doesn't have screened sides either so a coal popping out of the fire onto the deck could easily happen. I think your better off using a chimnea and although not sold at amazon, I really like the big green egg ones - http://www.biggreenegg.com/chiminea.html Good luck.

I used it on a cast iron radiator but that isn't a direct fire. Don't really know.

This unit is intended for use with a Real Flame mantel, or so it is labeled. I have a carpenter friend completing a custom mantel for this firebox, so can't honestly answer this yet. I will say I ran the unit twice standing freely --alone and without being encased in a mantel--as it is out of the box. The heat is driven outward by a fan; little to no heat was generated on sides or top of my unit.

Can say for certain but as long as the wind isn't on the back (open side) I would believe it should do good. Between the burners having lots of small holes, meaning a stronger more pronounced flame(s) while a fairly tight/confined fire-box I cant see it effected much by wind. I would think it would be better than say an older more traditional H-Burner, in a more conventional and open BBQ fire-box of yester years.

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.

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.

No, it is not ok to use this on a wood surface. It can only be placed on a non combustible service. If you put ceramic tile where the fire bowl would be, that would be acceptable. The fireplace must be placed on a flat and level surface. Failure to do so could cause the unit to tip, which could set surroundings on fire or cause serious injury. Do not place fireplace in an area with lots of traffic, such as a hallway or entryway.

Yes. I have used it with wood and works well for cooking. It is easy to start and feed fire and has a lot of cooking surface.

Yes you can use these on a charcoal gril, you I waited until the flames went down, but there not supposed to burn.

I would say yes only if you have a very small and controlled fire, like a fire log. It is high enough off the ground not to cause issues, but, keep it covered when burning, and do not leave unattended.

It can not be used where there is fire. You can paint the outside of a grill but not the inside. So, I would not think you could use in a fireplace.

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.

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.

Not for sure if you can but I would think you could. We get flames ever once in a while and it doesn't seem to hurt it at all.

No, their lawyers wouldn't approve of any use on surfaces which are flammable which would include wood. I ignore it (on wood) but a wise precaution would be to put a thin bit or reflective insulation (found at Home Depot or Lowes for various applications), maybe aluminum foil would work but double up on it. Best idea yet, put a timer on it where at least you have to reset it if you forget it's on which I do frequently. I works very well but does get hot. I recommend it's careful use.

I think anytime you are using something with fire in it you want to put it on a base that is non-flammable but, the dampers are on the side of this grill instead of the bottom so no ash or coals can fall out of the bottom. You will probably be fine. I used mine on my wood deck on top of one of those grill mats you can buy at home depot.
