Adapters are king. Im here in the UK where its mostly butane and isobutane. Coleman propane canisters are gold dust and cost twice as much. Butane cans for lighters cost peanuts. And buying a large tank of butane is basically impossible since the "environmental" directives came in. Adapters give you the ability to put your gas into your tools, whatever either form might take. Seriously, adapters ARE king. Brilliant video as always.
funny , i bought that off your store and i left it at a campsite. along with almost the whole campsite. i just repurchased.if i lose that one I'll be back
Another thing. When I was a kid we used a similar heater like this hooked to propane bottles while ice fishing. My father made a small wire grate that he would hook to the front of the parabolic heater side. On this small grill we would heat up left over pizza, hot rolls you name it. One of my fondest memories is ice fishing here in MICHIGAN and eating left overs in our ice shanty. You may want to look into such a diy and make that heater dual use.
Dang it, you did it again. You looked at my search history on Amazon and picked something I have been eye balling. Cool lil heater thanks for the review.
I only use it in the tent for about 5 mins with good ventalation, warms hands, feet and gets cold air out, won't winter camp without one. Total life saver for -below Hell!!
Love this review so honest and what you said about people not knowing how to use it then giving a bad review is all too common I see reviews and I’m like I bet this person had no idea or no common sense but keep it up love all the videos
Basically just a tiny camping focused version of larger propane shop heaters like I've seen for years. Honestly a very neat idea. I wonder how it would fare on one of those 1 pound propane bottles as propane generates more BTU's for a given flow rate than butane or even isobutane. On one of your reviews from a few years back I ordered one of those free-standing Lixada stoves (I love that thing) and it came with a butane adapter. Need to pick up a propane adapter as well since I think we have a few of those 1 pound Coleman canisters kicking around somewhere with a camp stove.
These come in two versions, one with a built in piezo electric lighter and one without like this one. Great little heater for temporary heat source for power failures without having to pull out my kerosene heaters. I use these with the 8oz $1 n-butane canisters instead of those pricey i-butane camp stove canisters.
Awesome find my friend and thanks for sharing! It should be very useful! Happy New Year, George! Let’s hope and pray it’s a better year than last year...optimistically speaking! God bless 🙏🏻✝️🇺🇸
Nice review thanks. Have had the cheaper iso butane canisters fail under super cold conditions. The MSR ones work a bit better, prolly a slightly different formulation of the fuel.
I will tell you have been stuck in road closers in the Sieras for hours due to snow. i wish i had one of these little heaters. crack a window and stay warm. nice video.
Its easier to tell us what this unit delivers in BTU's. If advertised at 3000-5000 BTU it is clear what you get in a small package. I have seen people using these in a camper truck and a small fan to distribute the radiated heat more evenly. It is a good radiated heat source and if you run this several hours (at least 3) it is worth $4 a can.
This is actually pretty cool. Wonder if it will work with 1lb cylinder and adapter for propane. Think it will burn properly? Thank you once again. Happy New Year.
Great video. Awesome RUclips channel. By any chance that isobutane canister, any idea how long you can run that portable heater on one of those canisters? I'm going to get one through your philly at store but I was curious if you know how long, TimeWise you can run the heater on one of those canisters? Let me know buddy thank you
Great video! How long does it typically last if you use this heater with a 250g / 8.8oz butane canister, like that Coleman one you used? How many hours does it last? Thanks.
Another Great video. Thanks. Where can I buy one of the stands without the heater? We have just bought a couple of things you have reviewed and the stands I bought are the orange ones that don't work like this black one seems to work and I like the looks and the ease of use of this black one. Do you know where a person can buy just the black stand? I looked on Amazon, and it seems they only sell them with a heater like this one, and I have enough heaters. lol Thanks again for all your great videos.
If you search on amazon for Iso Butane Stand you will see tons of them however I found this one here, seems to be of better quality www.amazon.com/MSR-Universal-Canister-Stand/dp/B083G6MNKR
Does this produce radiant heat? I have a tiny tractor that only has air cooled motor. Could this be pointed in the direction of the windshield and do anything? I dont have high hopes, but it would be an easy way to get a little bit of heat at the window and maybe keep it clear in the wintertime. The alternative is going as it is without any heat :-)
It would take a while but certainly would warm it up. I actually have a video planned for tomorrow where i will be using it outside as part of the test to see how it works in the cold outside
@@Iridium242 Would it be a dumb idea to have it indoors with 3 people in a bedroom if it gets cold? Would carbon monoxide poisoning be a problem? Otherwise Im thinking about a Mr Heater Buddy.
@@Jakelol1980 Well if that was the case then yes I would go with a MrBuddy heater, as it heats a bigger space AND has a cut off if Carbon monoxide becomes an issue. This however is great at a camp site or outdoors for a quick area warm up, even with adequate ventilation i have used it here at my desk on cold mornings
@@Iridium242 I bought the Buddy Heater and its awesome. A bit pricy here in Sweden and its shipped with a adapter for Lindal valve canisters because we dont have those 1lb propane tanks here but im happy and the 450 gram gas canisters are not so expensive here in Sweden so im happy :)

Nice little heater. Thank you for showing it to us, George. Stay safe and stay warm
That little thing looks like it gets really hot. I’ll be adding one of these to my list.
Love this review so honest and what you said about people not knowing how to use it then giving a bad review is all too common I see reviews and I’m like I bet this person had no idea or no common sense but keep it up love all the videos
Does it happen to say anywhere how many BTUs it puts out?
Mantle Glowing red hot and with a parabolic dish, it must throw radiant heat a log way. Great for a garage, barn or workshop.

OMG, again, loving your videos, keep them coming. Love your BUCKET videos.
That's is good as long as you can get propane
I like the size and that it comes with a storage bag! Always great product reviews!

$1 huh , with that adapter n-butane i will check it out
@@chadsmith7075 $3.99cad for 4 canisters at most Asian supermarkets, so probably even less in the US. ruclips.net/video/rqaKM8kee7U/видео.html

🤔...hmm. yessir. It'll do, till it runs out. Great for camping, emergency. Works for me.
Nice review thanks. Have had the cheaper iso butane canisters fail under super cold conditions. The MSR ones work a bit better, prolly a slightly different formulation of the fuel.
I have one that's beat-up but I'm not giving it up.

On the link it states that it will run off propane with a MAPP adapter.

At top heat (on high) If I remember right about 2 hours, lower it went on for about 6, I tested it inside here a few weeks ago

Food is a work in progress.
Is there a catalytic heater for this? Interested in the quite operation of the catalytic heaters.
I have been looking for a catalytic for iso butane for ages have not found one yet
@@Iridium242 thats to bad.
Can you use this inside a tent I know it may sound like a silly question
I would be careful and make sure you have ventilation

yeah it gives off a good deal of radiant heat

👍
? have you tried running this with a propane adaptor?
Can you run it using a propane adaptor?
If the head would swivel up, it could double as a cook stove!
