Had mine for a couple years now and I really like the unit for providing heat in my workshop shed. The only downfall with these units is that butane canisters need to be above freezing to maintain pressure. You need to warm up a canister in order to make sure they will provide gas, or can spend a bit more for Isobutane which can stay gas to around -11 while regular butane is about zero.
I think it means for people NOT to roast wieners directly on the heater rack.... nor attempt to cook a burger directly on the heater rack. They sent the accessory piece so food can be cooked in a pan ATOP the heater.
I am currently using a mr buddy heater but it's hooked to a 20 pound tank outside which is the most economical way to go at 17 dollars a fill. But i been wanting to get one if these just as a back up emergency use in case I'm it out of propane, i always have those butane cans around. Thanks for the video. I once had an 18 thousand btu mr buddy but when i ran that my eyes always had a burning sensation so i tossed it. Wish i got my money back for that.
Great video! Mine arrived today and in the instructions it doesn’t quite tell u how to ignite; if it wasn’t for your video I would have sent it back! Thanks!!Oh and p.s. I think wanted to warn about carbon monoxide not co2 thanks again
I'm in Canada just bought the Martin one, yes $78,cheaper than the Mr. Buddy. I've seen a video on one that hooks to propane and it's butane. Neat it folds to the top. The Martin one doesn't. And says 5800 btu's. Can't wait to try it and review. Butane in Canada is #4 cans for 10.99 I better head to China town!!
wood stoves create air dryness, the burning of propane and butane as an open flame actually produces moisture in the air. but it is for a pot, and you can heat up water for coffee tea cup a noodle soup ect.
I bought the same item, but was green in colour. Cost roughly $45. Works really well, but eats gas cans. Great for an emergency heater, used it in my old camper and large tent without issue. Have slept with it on, and the auto shut off kept me safe when the gas ran low.
Yeah I heaed that as well, they SAY it lasts 2 hours on a can but I found if you put it on high its about an hour and 20 mins. Good enough to get warm in a pinch, but I still have my mr buddy if I need it :)
@@SěmtêxČØŴv2.0 hi may I ask as I received one today initially I bought it hoping could use it indoors. Then I thought no seems maybe I can't. Then I thought I send it back. Then I started musing about building an outdoor pergola and using it as a patio heater type of thing but it was fine in your camper . Maybe I can start getting to grips with trying this indoors ?
Warning:::: Put one in the passenger seat of my work van to knock the chill off while the engine warms up this winter. The second time I used it, it burts into a fire ball while at a red light. Fortunately, I was able to open the door and push out. Best of luck.
I just watched one of your new videos on butane heater and then saw this one. This one is now $60 but Amazon won't ship to CA. So will have to look for one in a hardware store but wanted you opinion on kerosene heaters?
I may need to look in to that when I move to WY , there is a rumor it gets cold. You could most likely use containers on that no different then any other pressurized gas stove say a pocket rocket.
You can heat open cans of soup, heat water in kettles etc, but not a steak or something due to leaking into the " open flame " which can become a fire hazard. I'm more concerned about how I want to use it in my tent 😅😅
Thanks. I bought one off amazon (black, unbranded with no instructions). This video really helped. I was wondering if you got 2 attachments and what they might be for? Thanks anyway
Cool glad I could help. All I got with mine was the circular grill, where you can rest a pot on it when folded flat. Is it possible for you to put a link to the one you got so I can see it?
Question, when using this Heater ... how long does one canister last say burning at 75%? Looks like a nice little unit while doing some early morning fishing.
Anywhere from 4 to 5 hours at least that is what I have found! Its very handy on cold mornings here when I dont want to turn on the heat or start a fire.
I purchased this type of stove 3 yrs ago . Same price in US $ thru Ebay. I stocked up on Butane because of the low cost of the fuel for emergencies. Mine arrived color black, no attachments... 1.3kW. It says for camping,caravaning,boating and at home. Strangely, it states on the side of the box. For Outdoor use in well ventilated areas. I have used the butane stove for the past 30 yrs. No problem with using this fuel. Nice to know exactly how to use it. Thank you!
Yeah its funny, even in the ad for the item it says "You can cook on it" but then on the item itself it say not to cook on it. Boiling water would work however.. not a bad idea.
cooking ring is for a pot, . and I believe "the do not cook on it" refers to using the cooking ring as a grill"... seems contradictory instructions but not really
Do not cook on it mwans, don't try grilling hamburgers and straks on the wire guard. Use a pot, pan or kettle to cook on it. Think the "Do not Cook" is for people with no common sense.

That extra grill that comes with these heater may not be for cooking but to raise the heater off the ground to prevent heater related issue.
it’s a stencil and stability for the maximum sized pan recommended as to avoid overheating of the butane canister.. awesome little unit.. cheers

I believe the grill is for a pot of water to boil off steam to replenish moisture back in due to the heater drys out the moisture
wood stoves create air dryness, the burning of propane and butane as an open flame actually produces moisture in the air. but it is for a pot, and you can heat up water for coffee tea cup a noodle soup ect.
It's nice heater. I get the butane canisters for a dollar each.

If you get it turned right down after it’s warmed up I’ve managed almost 4 hours 👍

on amazon these stoves are over 100.00 now

Thanks for sharing! That is wild.
You ever try to connect it to propane? The one I found on Amazon says it comes with a propane adapter.
Yes mine came with a propane adapter. Have you used that feature yet
I have one and the lock won't work so I had to put a wooden block in it to hold the gas in place
Cool little heater.
I just watched one of your new videos on butane heater and then saw this one. This one is now $60 but Amazon won't ship to CA. So will have to look for one in a hardware store but wanted you opinion on kerosene heaters?
I'm watching this in the fall
I may need to look in to that when I move to WY , there is a rumor it gets cold. You could most likely use containers on that no different then any other pressurized gas stove say a pocket rocket.
Think it'll be good in a garden fir when I'm out drinking?
I just paid 20 quid for one 👍
great video thanks!!! My shower room is very cold, can I use it inside? any problem if it gets a little wet?
Should not be a problem as long as you dry it off, I would think it would rust after a time
@@Iridium242 thanks bro!! gonna try it!! cheers!!
Hi folks bought this to use when camping in my car please is it safe to use this in my car with the windows slightly down and with a couple detector
Nice lil set up
there grate for boiling water
Over $100 now!
The stove top is so u can use a pot to cook on it. Dont cook directly on the grill itself.
You can heat open cans of soup, heat water in kettles etc, but not a steak or something due to leaking into the " open flame " which can become a fire hazard. I'm more concerned about how I want to use it in my tent 😅😅
is this safe to be used inside a tent?

How long does 1 can last whilst using?
@@brad3778 about 3 hours minimum heat setting I think I herd
Thank you for this video!
Ty for talking me along
Can you use an adapter to use propane?

Thx for the info ... I can't wait to try it out one chilly morning on the Lake. 8^)
What Oz butane bottle does it take?
How long does a canister heat?
About 2 hours on high
And this is the exact reason I scoured the comments lol. Unfortunately butane is extremely expensive where I'm stationed.
How long does a can of Butane last
About 3 hours or so on high

If using in a vehicle would cracking the window mitigate the safety issue
That grill plate may be to boil water.

cool item not something I need but good review as always, thanks
$74 now, I should have got it 4 years ago, lol
Looks nifty. I'd rather not work with pressurized gas, though. Call me paranoid.
I'm parinoid about propane. Not sure why not about butane. Maybe the can just makes it seem safer
is it okay to use in a tent overnight?
Not recommended to leave it running, while sleeping.
How many hours can use per gas bottle?
Anywhere from 4 to 5 hours. Depending on how high you set it
Sounds terrific ,thanks.
Thanks!
I want to get this for ice fishing!
I just used mine the other day while doing a video, it still works great and for the price you cant beat it.
Don't cook food directly on it, cook food in a frying pan on it.
Do not cook on it mwans, don't try grilling hamburgers and straks on the wire guard. Use a pot, pan or kettle to cook on it. Think the "Do not Cook" is for people with no common sense.
How long would one can run at full power? Thanks
How long does a canister last?
about an hour and a half on high and 2 on low
