I have one!
Bought last year at Tractor Supply.
Bought it for the sole purpose for (if power goes out)for quick heat until back on.
Actually if I have to, I can just throw a couple logs in my Newmac Combo furnace/open blower door and gravity do its thing.
But anyway for the thing you are taking about-----------here is what I thought?????
Well, it's propane so I bet it don't stink! (unlike a kerosene heater)and because my home heats extremely well (example, furnace has not been turned on yet---just my Eden Pure Heater a tad)so, back to what I found.
My propane range(does not smell when used)say running a few burners(just dandy)
My 20 year old Emergency 20,000 BTU Sears kerosene heater when used with white kerosene and a teaspoon of additive (my wife THOUGHT smelled a tad)course when you only use it about once every two years ????? Actually compared just dandy!
So, I bought Mr. Heater(Big Buddy)and the extension kit(that you can use a 20gal propane tank)normally on grill
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
(in case) and a 2 pack of 4 1lb propane cylinders.
You know what???---------------that thing stinks????(smell wise)nothing like your propane cook stove.Also in my house you can actually feel it cutting off the oxygen. Did I run it till it crapped out ??? Nope----it got too intolerable before that(throat scratchy/felt like something was gripping the neck cutting off your Oxygen. Much worse than the OLD Kerosene Heater.
Hey, check this out. My BIL him and his wife(frugal people/and I mean clean freaks bordering on being obsessive,(example no dog,their dirty etc.) Anyhow they bought this standing fireplace and Lowes(natural gas hookup)100% efficient they said.
I said really???? So we went down in finished basement having a wine/listening to some Dean Martin
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
(his house)
About after 30 mins from him turning it on (I felt like I was on Mt. Everest at 20,000 + ft WTF
Ooops-------look over it shut off
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
(lack of Oxygen)what do they do ??? Open the door to other room down there to his ungodly clean Grizzly tool filled woodshop. He said---there. After about another 20-30 mins back on the mountain again look over see the flame cutting out(gone its out) I said(well dear, I think its time to let Charlie/Gabby out at home don't you)????
The frigin thing was a UNVENTED standing natural gas fireplace heater-------------------------One word, SH## (the makers who would make such a thing s/b repeatedly horse whipped! Later for going back down there(even with free wine)I will stand out on the carport @ zero degrees first!
I have probably 6hrs total use on my thing, cause ---(it stinks)
Even the dogs inside sneeze and run to another room!
Would I trust my life with that in a tent----------NO!
Unless you have the door totally zipped open and it pointed out the door(maybe)??????
Better idea-------some quality long johns(extreme rated sleeping bags)-------try this(go get one, take it home, try it in your full sized home------and smell the stink.-------one thing, save the receipt so you can run back and get your refund.
Having a Keystoker Coal stove put in basement next month------brothers got one and that don't stink. Power goes out and having the car battery option(hook it up and run it another 4-5 days. Power still out--------------take wifes out of her SUV!
JMHO-----And I still think the makers of that thing and BIL's thing(s/b horse whipped and would be if I was God)
Instead
