The white wintery mug added a nice touch. I did like the warm glow that emanated from the heater. 30 minutes of warmth after removal from the flame is impressive!

I just used mine this past week when the power went out in the apartment and it worked well with the campy 2 stove. I'm happy to be a prepper!

It's a brilliant little heater I use mine in my campervan and I have never had any problem with monoxide, I do use a detector. I use it on my normal stove. It's just as effective as my Propex heater without drawing power from my batteries .

always use 2 different CO detector. a family almost died here when they got woken up by a 2nd alarm because the first one that was closest to the wood stove didnt even trigger. i guess it depends on the air circulation or the programation of the CO detector.

Just got mine in the mail today. Can't wait to use it in the field during cold weather training

Fule canister will almost always be cold because of the expansion of the gas being used.

Really radiates the heat! 😎 Thanks Iridium dude! 👍

I can see heating this up outside the tent then moving it to an 8" terracotta dish and pot over it once really hot and you could use it in the tent without a flame. It might even be of use with a candle inside it in the winter inside the tent or house. Get one of those 8-hour candles and it would give off some of the lost heat and keep the flame burning better than some ideas. Thanks for the review and doing this in the summer (are you crazy?). I've been watching you for a while now and you never let me down on your posts. Thanks again.

@@toni3558 I doubt it could be used with one. Those are too small for this type of application and don't produce enough heat. The single candle ones do have a heat plate at the top too. The three candle one might, but it has its own plate on top to make it into a kind of heater. A candle might work, as I said above, but very few things give out enough heat to make this device function. You could heat it up outside the tent and carry it in on a terracotta pot stand but that would be the most I would use it for. Most things with fuel are dangerous inside of a tent.

You’ve made me an addict of your videos! I just recently discovered your blog and I’m checking everything, lol. I was thinking about getting this since I’m planning on Van/living for 4 months checking National Parks, of course I’d leave some ventilation open while using, together with a carbon monoxide alarm, run it just to warm up, transfer to a pot while is cooling off. I’ll put a fire mat together with a metal cooking sheet to make it safer. I have a fan on top of the wood stove I use at home that runs purely on heat, I can probably modify for this to stay firm, stable on top to move the hot air and I think that’ll make it even more efficient. I will order from your Amazon store. Keep up the good work and thanks.👍🏻

I've been looking at these for a while. I think in a deer blind would be an awesome spot

That looks like a fantastic option to heat my Eureka one man combat tent. And hunting blind! Nice!

I'm in the process of making a heat drum for my Coleman 533 single burner.. it will be 6" by 6 3/4" with a Bail to lift the whole shebang and carry it around.it should put out about 8K BTU the stove is rated at 10K btu but there will be some loss.jim

This is interesting, thanks for the lead.

Bought one years ago on ali for like 8 bucks. Could come in handy in the dark winter of 2022 / 2023 :))

Bought a second one of those type of heater to use on a tabletop hob like the butane stove you showed, first one I had I used it with a wood gasifier stove in December 2014 when I moved into my apartment without power or natural gas connected 🤣 (previous occupant owes a lot of money) I managed to boil water in a tea kettle for coffee as well as heating up canned food in an old mess tin (army style, pierced the can and put it in the mess tin of boiling water to heat through)

That's awesome.. Thanks for the info.. I've been thinking of buying one and i just got the same Biutain stove you have.. But i just happened to pick up a few of those heat canisters.. I didn't realize those are a "safe choice" to use .. Thx

I have one of these . The one thing I did do was cut the protruding tabs off of the four inserts so that the radiant stove fits over the wire grate of my Sterno folding stove .

Good video, I saw one of these on amazon, and your review is useful, can see this being useful.

Thank you Sir.

What would help would be a metal wind shield to make a reflector. If you get a duel fuel, butane x propane, stove you can attach to a 20# tank using a adapter hose. This would be good for use in a van with that advantage that you can adjust the heat low enough not to over heat or just use very little heat if you want to stretch your fuel usage.

Great for outside use with a wind guard, I found it to be quite wobbly on my vision square gas stove so I bent the fins out at the bottom to make it a bit more balanced as no matter which direction I put the fins in it wouldn’t fit for it to be stable enough in my eyes.. obviously there s that many different brand gas stoves on the market some maybe fit a bit better than others...If I’m doing anything wrong please let me know n any feedback much appreciated 👍

I ran across this video of yours, I've been thinking of buying one of these.

Interesting!

One room apartment? Haha. I'm looking to use it in a mini van

Good review. Many thanks.

Thanks for the video!, I've been looking around a lot to see this thing working. I'm planing on usig it with a rocket stove... lets see what happens.

You are one of the top dogs with videos

I’ve just ordered one of these from Amazon UK for £7.99 👍🏻

One could surround it with fire bricks to build up a heat sink and set the whole apparatus on a large concrete paver. Of course that wont work for backpackers.

Nov. 16, 2021: That $15.00 heater on the Amazon link is now $22.99. Thanks for the video. Nothing in the Amazon description tells how to use it or gives any precautions etc, which I think is very irresponsible of the Seller and Amazon. Your demo was very thorough and I truly appreciate all of your comments about the heater and the heat sources. I was thinking of using this inside a van.... I'd heat it up with the window cracked then turn off the flame and allow the unit to distribute the heat, off flame. In my area of SouthFlorida we have very few really cold nights, say below 40° but even 50° feels totally freezing for ME so, I just need to take the chill off now and then. This should do the trick nicely, plus a cup of hot tea or cocoa while the cover is warming up, I should be warm enough to fall asleep.

I personally use t-light candles - 8 hour ones - bunch about 6 of those tightly together on a non flamable surface like steel and you will get a really hot colum of air rising in the room. I test it every winter and its really great. They are fab for boilling water in tins too. Il test this one day in a tent outside and see how long it takes. No doubt it will take less then 5 mins. I am not comfortable with gas at all because I cant see how it is behaving and hard to ccontrol if it misbehaves.

You must calculate how quickly the candle flames are sucking the oxygen out of your space. It isn't just the fumes that the gas gives off, it is the amount of oxygen consumed by any flame, while you are exhaling carbon dioxide. It is the lack of oxygen that renders a person unconscious.... Every flame consumes the oxygen in every space.... that's the purpose of keeping a window open... to replenish the oxygen in the area faster than the humans, pets, and the flame, can consume it. If you have a pet in the area with you, they also consume the oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide so figure that their breathe will deplete the oxygen faster than you alone and increase the carbon dioxide faster. Those tealights are not as safe for sleeping or being in a small space as you seem to think they are, and you are using a quantity of them which increases the amount of flame and increases the speed of the oxygen being depleted.

Burning alcohol in these stoves - indoors - is completely safe. The byproducts of combustion are water and carbon dioxide. You will need some additional air so do provide some air flow into small enclosed spaces, but there are no concerns about carbon monoxide poisoning if you use alcohol.

As long as your stove is in good shape and the flame is blue, you shouldn't get any monoxide. That said I'd always have more than one monoxide/CO2/smoke detector at varying heights just incase since CO2 sinks to low spots. Also a fuel rated extinguisher.

Hi ...I think that just warming water is a great way to contain heat ...of course if you want heat in the form of (infrared) radiation it is ok!

Where is a safe place to store this while its still radiating all that heat? I use it in my van so I want to store it when I'm done using it. Thanks

For a tent or a small room I use four t lights inside and they work quite well it gets very hot……

Thank you, I go through eBay. I'm buying.

Where do you get them?

People use these in camper vans all the time. Put a cast iron tea warmer on top and you're in business.

9:57 That would be my concern with this. Are canisters and gas fittings for stoves capable of the sustained use and the radiative heat that this can heater puts off? I'd be afraid of a ruptured tank or gas line and a sudden fireball.

Is this safe to use inside a van or rv? Thanks

You could perhaps make a heat deflector out of heavy foil like those disposable trays. Cut a disk shape like a CD and cut a slot from the outside to the centre and just slip it in. This should give far more protection from the heat. You could also use the bottom of a large biscuit tin and it's easy to cut with scissors, that's what I'd do. I don't like loud bangs with lots of heat 🧨💥😲
