## Description

North America's Most Popular Portable Propane Heater! This patented radiant 4,000-9,000 BTU Liquid Propane heater connects directly to a 1 lb. cylinder and is the perfect solution for heating enclosed spaces like large tents up to 200 sq. ft. The expertly engineered size to BTU ratio is augmented with a fold down handle to give this heater maximum output while retaining a minimalistic footprint. A swivel regulator gives you the ability to adapt usage from a disposable cylinder to a remote gas supply with the purchase of a hose and filter. To light the unit, simply rotate the knob to pilot and push. Then the integrated Piezo sparking mechanism will take care of the rest. With the Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS) and accidental tip-over safety shut-off you can be sure that you will enjoy years of comfortable indoor safe heat.**Please note when operating the heater at altitudes over 7,000 FT above sea level the heater may shut off.**

Review: Awesome bit of kit for my campervan - I don’t often write reviews because I’m lazy and normally can’t be arsed unless something is really worth the effort. This heater is worth the effort. After surviving the beast from the east in my campervan with no heater I decided to give one a try after lots of great reviews on here and YouTube. I’ve now been using this for about five months and I love it!!!! I was very apprehensive at first about leaving it on for any length of time because I don’t want to die, but over time I have learnt to trust this heater not to kill me. I have the roof vent open and a side window cracked slightly and now put it on for about 30 minutes in the morning and evening to warm the van and it works a treat. One cylinder lasts me about five/six hours in total and is perfect for my van. I have mounted it on the wall next to my bed so I can turn it on and off without moving out of bed. I can strongly recommend this heater. I actually bought it on desertcart.com though as it was cheaper!
Review: This is a great little emergency heater. I've tried it outside in mild weather in the winter and it works very well. Easy to use, and perfect to have on hand in case the unexpected happens. Very satisfied with this purchase.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What does Canada and Massachusetts approved mean? or what is the difference?**
A: The only difference is the packaging, Canada and massachusetts version packaging says it is only to be used outside.

**Q: I plan on using this above 9000 feet in Colorado. Will i have a problem with it not working or turning off because of the low O2 already or height?**
A: The highest elevation I have used it was in the mountains in Colorado at around 8500 ft. It worked fine. I did run it off of a 5 gallon propane tank and not the one pounder.

**Q: is this a standard propane cylinder like you would use for camping gear? looks stubbier than the cylinders I have**
A: There are some disposable tanks that are taller (like 10 inches tall but 2.5 inch diameter) and labeled 14 oz.  Those are more made for torches and will mate up on the connection for this, but won't swing all the way vertical as intended.  The 16 oz tanks are closer to 4 inch diameter and 6-7 inch tall that are what is intended for these.

**Q: Where can u buy the hose and filter to fit a 20lb tank?**
A: i went to my local RV business that sold tanks, hoses and adapters.
