Does it work outdoors in cold or rainy weather? I'm wondering how it would work as a fire starter on camping trips.

The one I bought was a piece of carp. The ignition system broke the second time I used it. I'd spend a little more money and get a good one.

It will work outdoors in cold and rainy weather. I have tried starting fires with mine and it has worked quite well. However, if the gas you put into it is cold, then it won't work very well. Make sure that the gas is about room temperature before filling the torch.

The regular flame is hard to start even without wind but the jet is reliable. I haven't used it outside but the jet seems to work with wind

It works great for my intended use-heating shrink wrap! At highest setting flame is strong, but only about an 1 1/4 long. I think it work fine in the cold and rain, but flame is pretty short.

I use mine on my back porch under the roof when it is raining and it works fine with no problems! I have found that if you close the top vent on the smoker it will still smoke the meat or fish or??? adequately with only a small stream of smoke coming out the top. Have never had a fire!

Yes it will work in the rain. I put the flashlight in a container full of water and froze it for 5 hours and it works fine. My only problem with my light, I have the early models, is that is comes on while in it's pouch. I have used the new models and the switch doesn't come on as easy. While in the freezer I had left it on and it was still on when I pulled it out. It seems like a very well made light and the battery life is very good. Hope this helps.

I don't know how it would do in the rain. It's battery operated. But it's certainly good for emergency lighting. However, the sensor mechanism did stop working for me after 2 months. I can still turn the light on manually but the sensor may not have a long life.

It really does pretty good. I've camped on mine in all kinds of weather. Rain does not effect it, condensation does not build up in it. We camped in some really hot & humid temps in GA & FL and we open the zippers some to allow air flow so we were comfortable. We also camped with temps in the 40's, put extra blankets on ourair mattress which we ended up not needing all of them! I would highly recommend this tent for any weather!

It definitely works outside. I used it at a BBQ on a park and it worked great. Only thing I don't like is that I can't tell when the battery lis dying or low, therefore, can't plan accordingly

Yes I have used mine in the rain and in the snow but cold affects battery life

Still works after heavy rain. After a couple of nights in the teens, still works great. Snow is rare in my area, so can't answer that part.

I have used mine in temperatures as low as 20 below zero (for a string of 5 days) and it functioned flawlessly. The one draw back is the battery life is somewhat reduced by the cold temps. Hope this helps.

We use ours outdoors when camping. This is our second season using it. We always keep it out of the rain and sun.

I was camping last month. Lows down into the low 30s. Had the vents and fly shut down tight and was very warm. I haven't been in the tent during a wind storm yet but have had 3/4 inch of rain in an hour and not a drop got in. I love this tent.

I used mine for camping, but it was never set up in bad weather for extended periods of time so I cannot say for sure.

While I have not tried it outdoors, as long as you keep it out of the rain, it should work. There are 3 settings (low, med, high) on the current and you will likely need to replace the 9-volt battery more quickly as cold will make the battery discharge faster.

It has to be used outdoor if using propane, and yes, the unit can be damaged by rain or snow, so it's better if you cover it. But do not bother buying this and hoping it will work on propane. Mine worked for a day and failed. No customer service, no parts, only speaks french (which I do). DO NOT BUY!

It worked in 30F weather today. The only reason it wouldn't work in really cold weather would be if the battery freezes.

I owned one for about 5 years. It will not hold up to snow. Rain yes. We had it in the mountains of NC. We used it to have a semi-permanent campsite. It stayed up from April to Nov. There was no problems even after 3 years. One year it snowed a heavy wet snow and it came down. The weight sagged the canvas and buckled the legs. We just replaced the canvas and two legs and used the rest for another couple years.

It definitely works during warm weather, and I think it would work anytime if the solution you're using isn't too watered down, that it would freeze as soon as it hits the air. Great little machine!!
