will it create a fire too close to wood cabinet

Mine got so hot I'm returning it. The cord was hot and countertop oven was very, very hot. In my opinion, this does pose a safety issue. I wasn't going to wait to see if it caused a fire.

I had my countertop convection oven sitting on a wooden kitchen cabinet that had a drawer and two doors under that to store other items. I bought this at Walmart, and never had any problems about the Hamilton Beach getting too hot. I still use the same table, with wheels, for another countertop convection oven. I have been using this table for at least 8 years, with same type of items on it.

I use a box spring and am not aware of any fire hazard. I've had no issues.

Yes if it's not an open flame and you don't allow it to ignite by placing too close to the coals.

This alarm responds to smoke and can be triggered by a relatively small amount. That having been said, you should be no more prone to false alarms than , say, your kitchen. The only issue would be IF a router or other wood working tool created sufficient friction to "char" the wood and create smoke. Even then with good ventilation you should be fine.

if it is put in the fireplace by itself. no wood can be in the fireplace or any other type of fire going at the same time.

Taking into consideration its design, I wouldn't attempt to place it over an open wood fire. However, the manufacture may say otherwise.

I suppose if you have an electrical source coming from behind the cabinet to feed the unit. But if you leave it on all the time like I do, I would take a chance of the heat drying out and cracking the wood. Or worse being a fire risk.

according to the instructions, it can be wall mounted or stand on the floor. the heat comes out of the top and may be obstructed by the top of the cabinet. it should have 3 to 4 ft from curtains and other flammable objects.i'm very happy with my purchase and noted a substancial reduction in energy costs.

I don't think it gets hot enough to cause something to catch fire. I bought it for my daughter to use in her apartment and she put books and pillows in it. It seemed to work well and gave her some piece of mind.

1/ I dont think it will be a problem. 2/ Yes, or all the gas would come out the end. 3/ Sure I would put the flame side facing forward. I found that the draft going thru the fireplace pushed the flames back too far. So, I turned the device around and it hit more wood. Addtionally, for everyones sake. Know that this will take more gas to get the wood going. Because you are not using Kindling, just logs, the temp of the fire takes a while to build up in order to get enough coals to sustain the logs. Turn the gas off too soon and the fire will die.

I wouldn't. It kicks up a good flame on high. On low it will still burn pretty well, which is dangerous indoors.

I would not feel safe burning a fire on a wood deck. It's sits pretty low, so it may get hot underneath.

No, the directions recommend it be 3 feet from anything to decrease the risk of fire and the air flows into the unit from the back, across the heated coils and out the front. I think it would be a huge fire risk to mount it on a wall.

Make sure your cabinet has at least 2" dead air spaces all the way around and vented. I also recommend that since this is convection oven so lots of heats will coming out so the inside cabinet should be metal sheets coved all the way around. Also power cable should be metal jacketed. I suggest install air fun so all hot air will be outside. Good luck!!!

I'm not sure. The doors open just past 90 degrees. We have a wood cabinet on one side that prevents that one from being opened all the way, and it hasn't been a problem. Hope that helps!

Sure, if you have enough room. Always be careful when using fire indoors, even in a fireplace. Holes in the carpet from cinders is bad news, but a burning house is really a bad time.

That should be ok if you put something metal or stone under it, a stove board will work. I don't think it would get hot enough to burn the wood underneath, but better to be safe than sorry.
