Can it be used in self made box if you do not have an existing fire place opening?

Hi,Here is the link to the manual.http://www.dimplex.com/cms/publications/7205650300R02_EN.pdfWhen the heat is on the top does get hot as the heating coil is substantial and positioned near the metal surround top. The sides, front and most of the back have not been hot to the touch. You could call Dimplex and ask about a suitable insulating material for a DIY surround.

Yes, it can. It is basically a very pretty space heater or it can be utilized without the heat. It does not get extremely hot...at least mine does not, but as I state in my review, Amazon sold a broken unit to me. If you purchase new you might fare much better.

Not with a fire in it. All of the connector pieces are made of plastic and probably would not hold up to the heat.

No, not unless you have some type of heat shield that you can put under the fire pit. The pit gets very hot and will damage the wood under it.

Yes.....If you are looking to seal the lid on the smoking chamber. I would not use this on the fire box. I have a custom Stick Burner and this sealed my lid to the T.

No, you would need to build your own enclosure or have someone else build it.

it's possible but remember the air bubble insulation and Mylar cover is plastic so high temp could damage the material if not present a fire hazard

I think so....ours got a little hole in it from some ashes - so try to keep it far from the firepit when having a fire - otherwise, this is a very durable product!

You can certainly use this indoors but I would be hesitant to use it without the proper fireproof enclosure of a fireplace inside. Outdoors no problem

You could, but you would want to be very careful. I would recommend creating a baffle on the inside and placing the cheese far from the firebox.

Not easily. I think it's possible, but would require holes to be drilled in the flat parts of the leg posts, or you could possibly add metal pieces to the leg posts... but it might be better to keep looking for a different fire pit if this is important to you.

Yes, as long as you take the usual precautions as debris and sparks can make their way through the protective screen. But the unit is compact, light, and really lovely. Not unwieldy like some of the larger firepit. We love it.

Yes you can but had to be careful when opening it since it is very hot and there's a lot of pressure.

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.

No and no. The door has a little play and would allow water and fire in it. It also has holes in the bottom and back of the safe for mounting that would allow foreign materials inside

Not sure to answer your question I use mine as a fire box for a Texas style side smoker

Yes, you'll need an electrical plug behind the unit in the fire box....I don't know if the manufacturer would recommend your using an extension cord, even if you could conceal it.....Good luck with it.....

Im sure you could find one but it wont be as good as a box built for it, I only ran it in a custom box though so I cant say for sure, but I dont run pre fabs at all cuz I know custom is better
