Is t heat proof? Fire hazard as will put in front of heater,to block it off. can you see through it?

I don't really know but I think it would ignite if it got too hot.... you can't see through it, maybe a shadow of something is all.

DO NOT put in front of a heater! This is wood and paper-like fabric product. (You cannot see through it)

You can't see through it - it should be ok as long as it does not touch the heater but I would check with the mfg

You cannot see through it. I have it in front of a window to shade from morning sun. It's very light weight wood and some sort of paper. I wouldn't put it in front of a heater.

it's not heat proof. i wouldn't put it near a heater. it's made of wood and paper. you can't see through it, except for light coming from behind the screen.

They do not recommend putting much other than the cloth cover over it.... Seems more on top less heat gets through. I suppose that would be okay but I would not wait to attest to that...I would not bury it but I cannot see a little hurting anything. See if you can contact the company. Awesome heater ...

Teresa, not being a smart***, but this is a heater, it gets hot & radiates heat. If you would have a way to block access to this unit then ok, but if not this isn't for you.

I doubt it, it is not shielded and nor is it specifically fire rated. But it's also not carrying any current so personally I think it's a grey area but if you are concerned about potential fire then get something CL3 Rated for In-wall Installation.

the heat from the eco-heater comes through the circulated air, and if the wall-socket is too close, you may cause a fire. And I agree with Peter Millis' answer: if you use the wall socket, the cord will go right in front of the HOT heater...BTW: you can do what you want, but you will bear the consequences.

When I initially found this safe through another source I read it had a fire rating of 1200 degrees for 20 minutes. Not the best, however, I was satisfied because my safe is in my basement. If the house caught fire most of the heat would be on the top floor, I believe the contents would be safe. I hope this helps. Matt

It's made of plastic and would be afraid that it would both melt and catch on fire...You might be able to use a LED or if you know of a light that does not put off a lot of heat. It also might be to thick for the light to really shine through.

You should never put a fire pit on a deck period. Regardless of a heat shield any anything else you can think of to protect your deck. It's not worth the risk of your house burning down.

I would do that with caution. Using as a heat shield would be very temporary. The blanket is designed to prevent welding spatter or cutting slag from burning flammable materials. I think red heat from a torch would eventually get thru.

You should allow any grill to cool completely before you cover it with any fabric cover. Otherwise it's a fire hazard.

Pretty close. I've had clothes right beside it, in front of it. I wouldn't put your bed right beside it blocking the entire thing tho. The heater is pretty long. A safe clearance for a bed (as long as their is adequate air circulation around the unit) is probably 4 feet, I would guess but I'm not an expert. It is radiant heat so the unit is safer than a regular one. Doesn't get insanely hot to the touch. With the radiant heat, That also means you should turn it on 20 min or so before going to that room to give it time to heat the air.

The bottom of the heater stays cool but I would make sure the air flow is clear both intake and output. It also would potentially burn you if you touch the top where the air comes out. Although I use my unattended in my basement, I would neither keep on in a tent where is it closer to flammable materials not ever attended. I am sure it is not made for that purpose so caution is absolutely necessary.

Not really a good choice for that application. A better choice would be a light fixture cover that goes over the fixture that allow the heat to escape but not air. The cover allows for insulation to blown over it while protecting the light fixture and allowing for the heat from the bulb to harmlessly escape. Amazon sells Tenmat Insulation fixture covers for different light styles. Once you put it on, you can seal it to the ceiling floor with foam, then cover it insulation to prevent any fire hazard.

No I would not consider this safe to be fire proof. I do use the safe daily and sure like it.

You can place some rocks around the heater but the grill (top vents) must be kept clear of rocks. You don't want to overheat the heater. Also the heater , if grill is blocked, won't warm up the water properly. The rocks might get more heat than the water. That defeats the purpose of the heater. I use this in a ten gallon tank for a turtle with the water level 1/3 of the height of the tank. If you have a larger tank or more water you will need more than one filter. If you want to hide the heater you could maybe put a thin flat rock along the side that will allow the heater to warm the water. Hope this helps.

No. It is neither water nor fire proof. Although it would resist flames for a few seconds or maybe a minute, it is just metal with no insulation for fire proofing. There are no water seals so it is not water proof, although if you spilled a glass of water on it, the water probably would not get inside.

I wouldn't bother. There is a safety feature built into this heater in that it will destroy itself when it is not immersed in a liquid to avoid starting a fire. You would be lucky to use it for this purpose once.
