Can this stove be used indoors? I don't go camping, I need it for power outages.

Sure. I have a great friend who owns a restaurant and he uses these for cooking sauces all the time.Obviously you have to be careful with any fire inside and I wouldn't use it for space heating, but cooking during a power outage, perfect.

Yes you can use it indoors. Of course you take your safety steps.....don't us it near paper or any item that could catch on fire. But most of all keep away from children and careless people. Make sure that the butane is connected properly so that gas doesn't build up to cause flareups. I use the stove all the time at my job. I do food demo's at a health food store indoors with no problem. I hope this helps answer your question. Good luck.

I can't see why not, as long as there's sufficient ventilation. I'm sure I've seen them used in hotel omlette bars before. You can find the butane canisters at restaurant supply stores.

Ventilation is key. Hydrocarbons that burn in a lack of oxygen will produce CO. Look up the various combustion equations. Complete combustion produces heat, water, and CO2. Incomplete combustion adds CO to that list. Ventilation will help keep O2 levels replenished and also help to remove any CO that is created.

You absolutely can. We have a gas stove and it works perfectly. Gas or electric,doesn't matter.

Mine does not say it on the unit itself. I am sure for safety reasons you would use it outdoors. Personally I have used mine for years inside with no issues. If you think about it is basically the same thing as a gas stove just much smaller.

Yes, it is. I would make sure you had it on a fire retardant surface. I have used ours both indoors and out. I mainly use ours on our boat. But is great if your power goes out you will bea able to cook.

I don't see why not as the fuel can be used indoors. You just need to be able to snuff the flame.

The stove has a grate over the flame. I bought this after our record ice storm last February, when the power went off for a couple of days. I wouldn't use that stove inside, but I see no reason you couldn't use it on a covered porch. Thus far I have not had to use this stove, and hope I will never need to use it!

Yes it can be used indoors. This is one of the advantages of a butane powered stove vs a propane powered stove.

I would not recommend any stove, including this one, be used inside a tent for warmth. There is a large flame generated.

propane burners should not be used indoors...that would be like using your BBQ inside.

You can use it outdoor and indoor. Only thing with indoor is the legs make it tricky to put in and out of the oven as well as on the stove but it is possible and does still work. I'm like you though I don't really use mine inside, I use my other pots and pans. I leave this one for outside cooking because it's so heavy and the legs get in the way when cooking inside.

I never used it indoor. So I cannot help you. We use a propane gas range in the kitchen. I do not see why we could not use the Hercules indoor also. Rina

I have used it indoors, but well ventilated. Naturally care should be taken to fuel the stove outside and to leave the spare fuel outside. For many years people cooked on indoor kerosene stoves that had an order all it's own. This fuel is more flammable. Use caution.

I would not recommend indoor use...or maybe in an open well ventilated space (like a garage or sun porch) because you would still get smoke from any grease that falls on the element. It is great for car trips...if you are going to be where you have electricity. It is about the size of a large beach ball and very light weight. The lid actually locks on the unit.

I have been using mine this week with no issues, other than a slight smell. It burns clean as it is alcohol based. In a small, airtight room you may burn the oxygen but in a kitchen, open to the house, that will not happen. I know that a propane stove will put out CO2 and should not be used indoors.

Q - "Is this stove approved for indoor use?"A - The stove is safe for indoor use as long as you follow the manufactures operating instructing. Like any other appliance with an open flame (a Gas Cooking Range)or (Fire Place) one must be careful with combustion air, which means using up all the oxygen leaving carbon dioxide - always keep a fresh air source close buy (open a window slightly) and remember follow the manufactures operating instructing, and you will be fine, I do.

I would use the grill indoors, next to a window. I have seen stoves with a grill between the burners, and they are used indoors. I would, however, only use it under constant supervision. This, to me, is far safer than a charcoal or propane grill-indoors. Hope this helps.

I use my heater inside my home. I don't operate it at night or around my small grandchildren but as long as you monitor it, I believe it is a safe unit to operate. I usually operate it in the evenings until bedtime and on weekends. It uses about 2 20# tanks of propane a week. Since it is equipped with an OPD sensor, it seems to be OK for indoor use.
