can I put this bottle in a fire to purify water

I wouldn't. You cannot remove the black straps around it unless you cut them off.

If you remove the strap it would not be a problem. I'm not sure why Sara thinks it being thin is an issue, you can boil water over a fire in a paper cup. As long as it has water in it, the metal can't get over 212 degrees F. Also the water will prevent part of it from getting hot much faster than the rest of it. At that low of a temperature there is no chance the bottle will warp no mater how thin it is. Just be sure it is completely full and the cap is off.

I would NOT do this. The neck of the bottle is small and unless you are very careful about rinsing it immediately and have a small bottle brush to clean with you may have a problem with bits of fruit sticking to the inside. These bottles are great for WATER but a lemon seed stayed in mine and came out in the next use. NOT a great experience!

definitely is not fire proof. We purchased flame retardant pouches for the safe contents. It is not water proof, I don't know for sure, but am pretty sure.....

I probably wouldn't. I think the water would evaporate quickly. I only use it when I'm heating the bottle and I'm constantly filling it with water.

I don't see how you could because there is nothing to burn. The glass doesn't burn. It just reflects the flames from the gas. If you had a gas pipe installed in the fireplace, you could put fireglass in there

I heat water in another container and pour it into the teapot. I don't think you would want the flames to touch the sides, and it is rather small, so it may not fit well on a gas burner.

The firestarter can not be ruined unless it is forcefully damaged. It is not affected by water and work perfectly once dried.

I guess you could. There's nothing specifically I can think of that would prevent this from working, but it is definitely outside the parameters by which it was designed. I think if I were going to use it, my primary means would be to use a simple pot to boil water and put the boiling water into it, as it's designed to function. If that is not an option, then I would at least put some type of metal plate between it and the open flame to protect the finish. Obviously, if you don't care about the finish, then just put it directly over the flame.

No, it's not insulated which I find better because I can easily put it over a fire to purify water when I'm out in a dispersed camping area.

I would say so because I had a bon fire in mine and didn't have a scratch to it, it locked tight as well just make sure you put distilled water in with the regular water if its drinking water.

No you cannot. It's a composite material that would not stand up to direct flames in my opinion.

No, it's too thin and the interior is coated. It would probably leach into your water, especially once it was heated.

Hi Elena, Not sure about that but I would certainly try it as the water is charcoal filtered.

I do as Paul suggested. Fill bottle with very hot water and pump it through.

Yes. I intend on using it over an open fire to boil down maple syrup in the spring.

I use mine primarily with an alcohol stove but I do not see any reason why you could not use it on the fire.

Yes you can. I replaced the lava with Fire glass and covered it completely and it works just fine.
