Hi, my name is Garold Williams. I also left a comment when you tested the Ember oven. I just mentioned that Konel and I both developed these products together. We have worked together for about 3 years!!!
Fuel saver tip: Use a thermal cooker. Once the pot of food is boiling, pour into the thermal cooker; no more fuel needed.
What is that and how does it work?
@@MaryMerryMarry basically a thermos. Stanley makes square shaped thermos insulated so kinda trapping the heat so the food continues to cook
@@MaryMerryMarry Also known as a haybox. You can find instructions on UA-cam on how to make them with what you have on hand. Buying a passive cooker (essentially a thermos designed for this) is an option.
What’s a thermal cooker
Thewn you must boil more water for the next item, person, or meal...
Great video. I immediately ordered a Vesta, joined Sam's Club and bought 4 cases of fuel for 19.43/12 cans. I now have 5 alternate heating methods and 6 cooking methods. It was so nice to see you so proud of your son's accomplishments!
What are your alternatives? I need ideas!
@@aarifaamos 1. diesel truck can furnace (145.00) mounted on plywood window insert. Very low diesel consumption. 2. Propane catalytic 3. Alcohol heater designed for boats 4. Mini wood stove 5. Electric space heater run from solar system on RV in drive (most days great solar in W Texas) 12v blankets off same system
Correction. Truck cab heater not “can”
That's $4 - $5 for short heating of 3-5 hrs a day. $20 for 24hrs when cold all day and night. X30 means $600 a month if someone is home all day. They are way underestimating their canned heat burn times. Canned heat is made for dinner party catering.
That's more than a KeroSun heater costs to run on station pump K1 at $5/gal...add 50c worth of Fuel Treatment perfume to turn it into expensive lamp oil.
However the KeroSun makes 33000BTU running all day on a gal....this makes 7500BTU.
Heat pump, if power is available is about $80 a month for a whole 1200sqft new build house or apartment. Minisplit about $50.
This is a neat little sterno tent heater...or a shed The Trangia alch stoves they tried, burn up their fuel in under 30 minutes..so that seemed an odd experiment. If the unit is jostled, the lit alcohol spills and burns invisible....everywhere.
All the fuels exhaust CO2 and H20 into the living/sleeping space despite odor or not.
Went to sam club could not find it can you tell me how you found it?
Use aluminum foil to twist and fold into a roll to use as spacers between the cans to keep them from sliding around.
Great idea! I only used 2 cans to test heat and it was good but noticed that the cans shifted. Maybe I will try cutting a pie tin down to fold and take the place of third can.
Edit: Or after you empty a can, use it in place of one full can.
I rent a small older home with no fireplace or any means of auxiliary heat. This is just what I have been searching for! Thank you so much
Just got one of these heaters and 24 cans of fuel. I’m so excited about how well it works!! It was an excellent investment!!!
Does the heater work good? How do you store the heat cans, my fear is they'll catch fire, can i put them in a plastic amo can
One of my favorite things about your channel is that Jonathan is a total nerd. As a fellow engineer, I appreciate that.
Like you, I have friends in places where power and heating are in jeopardy !!! This is WONDERFUL. Thank you for bringing it to our attention 💖🌹. P.S.:. My bathroom was never going to be warm this winter, now Oh My !!! Answer to prayer .
I found this heater when first introduced on Patriots website. It was on sale for $30 off. I immediately bought 2 heaters and safe heat still for $4.95 for a 2 pack. I bought 2 cases. Within days sales off and safe heat $12.95 for 2 pack. Glad I jumped on these items. I now have several ways to cook indoors and outdoors (depending on time of day and weather conditions) and several ways to heat in the cold weather. I own my own home but do not have a fireplace or wood stove. Thank you both for sharing all your knowledge.
wow, during a hurricane where your without power for days this would be awesome. Even power outages during the winter for a day to keep you warm. My first thought was camping trips. Small, easy to bring with you and low cost fuel burn. This would be great addition for emergency cooking for weeks at a time if needed.
I wish I had seen this before we bought other products! This looks like the perfect solution.
I actually just purchased this for our son's host family in Germany!! Thanks for the alternative fuel ideas IF needed!!
I get an iron kettle with feet to cook in the chimney, that will provide heat, also. But as firewood gets extremely expensive here in France, I'll definitely think on other devices to overcome short coldsnaps and blackouts (those are already planned here...) Thank you and much love!!
I have 2 of these. They were an answer to my prayers. Now, I could be self-sufficient in an emergency. But I want to warn anyone who will listen that you cannot turn your back on these. The 4th time I used them, I went into another room to resume getting ready for the day. I was not gone 15 minutes, and suddenly the ear-piercing scream of my smoke alarms went off. The top portion of the Vesta had caught fire (I don't know how) and there were flames shooting out all 4 sides starting to melt the plastic handles. Black soot was rising up towards the ceiling. I was so scared, but I acted immediately. I grabbed the whole thing, trying to hold from the bottom which was less hot. But my thumbs had to hold it stable while I ran like a madwoman to the bathroom and threw the Vesta in the toilet. I know, not a bright idea. But it was the most direct way to extinguish the fire. Seconds later, I realized it had splashed and caught the toilet paper on fire, and worse, the shower curtain on the bottom (which was rising fast). I turned on the handheld shower spray and extinguished the shower curtain fire while simultaneously throwing the toilet paper into the bathtub to be extinguished also. My thumbs sustained some minor burns. Please, please, be careful when using this device. I will no longer be using the top fan portion at all, because I am slightly traumatized by what happened. I will use the bottom portion, and may even use the grate. But I will NEVER turn my back on it again. My situation could have been much worse. Please let this be a warning to everyone using the Vesta. It can be a Godsend, but PLEASE be careful!!!
Did you contact the seller? I definitely would make them aware of what happened and ask what caused it!!
I just got mine out last night and tested it and was very impressed with the amount of heat that it put out.
I’m excited to tell you that my husband ordered the Vesta heater/cooker and then ordered 5 cases of safe heat from Sams. This makes us now have 5 ways to cook without power. I’m excited to try this and see how well it works!! Thx for the great information.
I just got mine! It looked like something worth getting so I’m glad you did this video- I haven’t tried mine yet but I did get a fire extinguisher and fire blanket just in case of an accident lol
I've been looking for another safe way to heat my apartment. You guys are sooo helpful and wise. Keep up the great work. Telling all my family and friends. 😃
I just want to say a big thank you to the both of you for all that you teach to help others. my son and I very much look forward to your videos. wishing you both the best of health, happiness and warmth this winter
After watching this last night, I waited until this morning to make sure I wasn't buying it out of emotion. This morning I went for coffee with friends who used to live in Texas and were there during that huge winter storm power outage. They were out of power for two full days and had to huddle around their gas fireplace. Well, we do not have a gas fireplace, nor a wood fireplace. I have tried to figure out some things we could do from watching your and others videos but didn't think any were great options. I am excited about this stove/heater and ordered one today. My husband isn't really into preparing like I am so I like that it isn't stupidly expensive. It isn't dirt cheap either but I think a very fair price for the technology!
I just had purchased a few of these (thank God), when a sale was running on them, a few weeks ago. Last winter, with the electric going out, was enough for me to do so along with the extra canned heat. Seems the price has gone up (a bit) on them, too. If another sale runs on them, I will definitely order a few more. With the way things are going, you never knew when these will come in handy or if an elderly neighbor might need use of one. I just needed to know how to operate them and thanks to video, I have a bit more knowledge about how. Who ever invented these; thank and bless you!😇🥰
I'm only 2 minutes into the video and ready to order one! I live in a tiny cabin in the woods and we lose power a lot in the winter. I was using a propane heater, which I always hated, but I think this will do much better, Plus, I can cook on it! Edit....And, it sold out overnight before I could order it.
Were you able to get one yet?
Did you get one? They are on sale at Patriot Supply for under $90 or were yesterday.
The little alcohol stoves burn out pretty quickly. They are great and I use one for boiling water if we are out for the day in the mountains but they don't last a long time. Just for information.
You guys always have great and interesting products. Thanks for all the fantastic things to help us!
We are blessed in that our primary heat is a wood stove and, since we camp a lot, we have multiple ways to cook food BUT this solves so many problems for anyone without such resources. I'm even tempted to get one just because it so darn cute!
Hi. Thank you for the info on VESTA. I'll save for a unit. I pray I can buy it before I need it. Things are tough all over.. I'll start praying now again. Thanks for all your help. Yall are great.
The cooking part we already had down with a butane camp stove, a duel fuel propane/butane camp stove, the BBQs down by the pool, and slow cooking using my 12v Hot Logic Mini plugged into my vehicle camper’s auxiliary battery power system with a solar panel (just back from a road trip more than 1400 miles round trip & no restaurants! Great food & hot meals). The heating in winter 🥶 has been on my mind. Sure we can put a tent in the livingroom & wear extra sweaters & wool socks 🧦, even plug the car blanket into a power station’s 12v socket to preheat a sleeping bag, but putting that heater/stove thing on the brick hearth in front of the fireplace we usually can’t have a wood fire in because of air quality restrictions sounds like a possible solution. I like the duel purpose of cooking AND heating. Already sent out a link to some relatives we were talking about using canned heat as a cooking alternative. Thanks for more thought provoking videos!
What brand butane/propane camp stove do you have?
@@kinthecountry4301 my duel fuel propane/butane one burner camp stove is made by Gas One. I think they have a couple of different models. I originally got it because one of the fuels doesn’t do well at high elevations & sometimes there is a shortage of one or the other (in March 2019 you could not buy propane at all in those little green canisters or to refill the 5 pound tanks in Nevada on highway US-50 except at except some either end). I use it for camping, but it has a backup job if we have a prolonged emergency.
Looks like a good camping stove. I normally top off my 1000 gallon propane tank every year which usually takes around 200 gallons to do that. So if times get tight, I'll cut back on my use and it'll last me a good four years hopefully things will get better by then.
I live in a one-bedroom apartment and this seems like the perfect answer for me. Thank you so much!
Add-on suggestion: A Peltier device attachment that can be used to charge a cell phone. There's a stove that offers a similar capability. Even a trickle charge could make the difference between getting a call/text out and not...great device.
Extremely interesting that I should find this video as, last month I took a small table top Hibachi, put 2 tuna cans in the bottom, added cotton balls, filled 1/3 full with 70% Isopropyl Alcohol, lit them, said "I have a stove!" Then I thought about it, took the back from a broken tabletop heater, cut the end piece off, placed it over the rack with the cans burning and said "I have a heater!" No fan of course, but if I'm stuck, I think I'll survive. (Yes I have a detector also, better safe than - asphyxiated) Thank you, great video.
What is that which you refer to the "back from a broken tabletop heater"? Can you give me a brand name or an example of the type of tabletop heater and the part as this sounds similar to what I was planning on using. Great idea thanks!
@@christinemoretto3405 I believe it was a Comfort Zone Milk house heater. It is metal and was easy to disassemble. The back has vents so I thought it would be perfect as it fit atop the hibachi pretty well. It was a cheap Walmart decision on a cold morning and soon after, malfunctioned, but - it still came in useful. The fan part worked but not the heating element. I may connect that up next. 😆
I have the alcohol burners but please remember the rubber o ring, don’t snuff with the o ring in it may melt just a tip
I just received mines today and I'm so glad that I ordered one, especially after the winter that we had here in Arkansas last year and the power outages, I will definitely be going by Sam's and stocking up on the canned heat, and thanks for the tip about the alcohol stoves, I have some of those as well that I bought for camping and backpacking, along with a supply of denatured alcohol, and I am glad that in a pinch I could use those as backup as well,.... This is a brilliant idea, so happy I got one before they sold out, because just like the fuel, I have a feeling that these are going to be going real fast. Thanks for the video.
Just started watching your videos. I'm impressed with the information you provide. I bought the my patriot portable oven based on you video.
Thank you so much for sharing this! We bought one and our daughter bought two. One will go to her inlaws who have no secondary source of heat. Bless you!
Superb! We just ordered a Vesta, actually 2, and look forward to warm feet and being able to cook the next time the power goes out this winter. Thank you muchly!
I love the VESTA!
Thank you so much! I have already followed your advice many times on many topics. This looks wonderful-solves two problems in one! I just purchased one for my son, and plan to purchase one for another son after he returns from a trip.
I got one about a month ago...looked like a life saver to me...I dont have the options for wood, pellet or any type of heating stove, not interested in a buddy type or kerosene as Im concerned about replacement fuel...Ive been looking for a very long time for an emergency heater. Only saw 1 short video on it from the internet...I've tested it and I'm completely satisfied that this will do the trick for me in a power outage!!! And yes your right! This is an answer to prayers...I dont have a Sam's Club but found a pretty good deal on 4 cases of fuel at HD for 100.00...this review was amazing and I thank you so very much for putting it out...
Looks like a great product. I like that it can dispense heat too. I have some Greenscapes sturdy, foldable flat camp stoves that use chafing fuel. They are now hard to find in stores and online. The cooking surface is large enough to hold a 10" frying pan and most pots and pans. I purchased 5, 12-pack cases of 6 hour chafing fuel at Sam's Club a little over a year ago. The price was much lower then. But like you said, they do last a long time. I watched a video of guy who had the same camp stove I have. He used the same chafing fuel that was just over 10 years, and it still worked great. I have a couple of GoSun solar cookers too as a backup cooking source. Appreciate your videos, especially in this time of worldly turmoil. God bless.
I actually picked up the Vesta yesterday :) Please thank your friend for me! I live in an apartment. I have fire extinguishers, and I also have canned heat from ReadyHour. This is wonderful. Thank You God!
Just what the doctor ordered for my needs. I just ordered two of them. Thanks so much for the info.
Thank you so much for finding this! We are having a wood burner installed plus side you can cook on it! This is a plus plus! Thank you again!
Didn’t even get halfway through the video before I ordered! OMG… Placing my Sam’s Club order, too, for a few cases of the cans. My goodness, no wonder you’re so ecstatic over this. Me, too!!!!! Can’t wait!!!!
Red Rose Homestead bought one of these she said it's good for the heat but she would never use it to cook. It's good for heating foods up but for foods that need a certain temp for cooking it does not get hot enough.
I just bought mine! Thank you for sharing. So excited to have this peace of mind for our family
@@TheProvidentPrepper I will… an early Christmas present! 😀
We have 2 of these and I plan to get a couple more….for the purpose of warming us, of course does allow for cooking and for keeping a pot of water. We tested our first one and that fan did kick out a surprising amount of warmth. We had a power outage during a snow storm last May. I have chaffers, so that worked very well for heating food and keeping water hot tea, making french press coffee, etc. BUT I used three cans of this canned fuel under an oven rack suspended on top of 4 large cans on top of my glass top stove. I was able to cook a package of Mac & cheese, fried some Spam or ham, and a vegetable. I also fried, scrambled, or poached eggs this way, browned some brown N serve sausage links. Had hot water for instant oatmeal or cream of wheat…but could easily cook the real thing too. We also keep 4-6 butane tanks for our gas grill and we have the grill just outside our sliding glass door. We can easily cook, grill, bake and boil water on the grill. For staying warm we can take our car out into the driveway, and run it for an hour with the heater going, and heated seats on. Our car has wifi. We got thoroughly warmed, then came inside and went to bed. If roads are safe one can drive around a little bit to keep the car battery charged up…but the day we did that it had snowed and we did not need to be out on the roads….sitting in the drive way with our electronics for 1 hour worked extremely well. S
Slept very well nice and cozy. We also have 2 solar “generators” and we have electric throws. Those can be warmed up and then will keep us cozy if needed…. I have been purchasing cases of 12 or 24 of the canned 6 hour fuel. I use them for my catering anyway, and the oven rack on top of the stove worked magically.

😃😁😃😁😃😁😃😁😃😁😃 D A N G !!!
This is a really good review. I've been looking for something I can use to heat my small apartment whenever there are power outages. I'm getting this today. Thanks guys!!
I just bought a vesta, and I tried it. It really works. Now I just have to buy one more and stock lots of fuel. Thanks so much for all the information you have provided.
OK, I'm sold. Just ordered the Vesta emergency heater and cooker. I like that the little alcohol burners will work in a pinch too.
O. M. G. !!!! this is my answer! I live in Maine. We lose power 2-3 times a winter, and for days at a time. So, I've been looking for a safer heat source, and I can even cook, so no more cold food in a cold house! I'm excited! Thank you for sharing!
@@TheProvidentPrepper me too! Lol
Checked on these yesterday, was going to order another one as a gift, but THEY ARE SOLD OUT !!
For emergency heat i have a generator that will power everything in my house but the central air and electric dryer that can run on my natural gas or propane or gas. I have a small Franklin wood stove that I can hook up to the chimney in the basement and pipes etc for it. I have 2 electric space heaters, a mr buddy propane heater, and lots of wool blankets. For cooking I also have a duel fuel Coleman stove and a small butane stove. Also gas, charcoal , and a pellet grill. So im pretty set but this thing looks very interesting as there is no smoke like my wood stove or noise like my generator. If there were unrest, this might be a great way to go in a smaller room. Thanks!
I've enjoyed all your videos on emergency heating and cooking. Already have a natural gas space heater that works without electricity, a Lil Buddy propane heater, a butane cooker, Coleman camp stove and others plus fuel. But, you can never have too many emergency heat and cooking options so I ordered one of these and 3 twelve can cases of fuel from Sam's. Thanks for making me aware of this option and for all the great work you do. We got our Harvest Right medium freeze dryer about 2 months ago. Life got in the way so we have only done 1 batch of fruit so far. Would love to see videos of preparing different foods for the freeze dryer. Particularly MRE type meals that can be used to prepare hot meals in emergency situations by heating water with something like the VESTA.
Thanks for bringing this new product to our attention. We appreciate your hard work and videos.
Thank you for taking a few minutes to learn the tech and how to correctly pronounce "Peltier." Great video! Great find! Thank you.
Hi
When you try to pour the denatured alcohol from that can, like you're doing there, you need to have the opening at the top side instead of like you have it there on the bottom. I know it sounds weird but that's how you're supposed to pour it, with the hole at the top and then tip it over.
Thanks for the tip on the new little stove, I think I'm going to have to buy one.
Thank you for all the effort that y'all put into everything, it really helps.
God bless y'all

Welcome❣️ I'm going to check it out.
I just bought this, and it arrived last week. I'm glad to see your review on it!
Hi where did you get it from and how much was it and how long does it last thank you
Thank You So Much. I Have Sterno, But Since I Have Allergic Asthma, I'm Allergic To Everything. I Remember My Cousin Said It Was So Cold During The Freeze In Texas That Covers She Had Over Her Began To Freeze. Never Heard Of These Cans. Sooo 🙏 Grateful.
Your video was a blessing. Just got mine and am totally tickled. It is a great product.
I love this. Small, multipurpose, easy to use! All great benefuts when you don't have a lot of space, like me. I checjed out and price us reasonable. I'm going to seriously consider a purchase. Thanks for sharing.
Just got mine in the mail 3 days ago haven’t had a chance to use it yet great video
I have several options for heating and cooking (wood stove, kerosene heaters, butane burner, etc...) but this option is intriguing because of the peltier fan. Question: Can you put a pot on top of the "room" heater and heat water? I'm thinking about a small kettle that might provide hot water throughout the day.?
Thank you for this video. This product is exactly what I have been looking for. WOW!!
wow this is great. just watched and immediately order one for me and each of my daughters. Thanks so much for sharing this!!!
Thank you! I will buy one when I am able to find my own apt. I'm blind and want a small safe way to cook. I live in Florida and hurricanes happen.
I have some Safe Heat and a small foldable stove, but like this idea so much better, especially since the cans are totally enclosed, there is a fan that Dian require a separate power source and the snuffer is included.
I tried some heat packs (think MRE heater type) and a pan designed specifically to use them but was very disappointed with the outcome. It did get the water to boil but wasn't really hot enough long enough to cook freeze dried food.
Again a big thank you❣️
You could put the food into a metal thermos and it will continue to cook
Good video.... Found mine on my Patriot supply bought two of them. Thank you for telling me where to get more canned heat. Best thing i have ever seen. Live in tiny house so this is perfect. 🇱🇷🙏🇱🇷
Just ordered one. Thank you thank you
This is very exciting! This product is the answer to my heating concerns, Thank you for a great demonstration!
For easy storing of the denatured alcohol, buy a Trangia Multi-fuel bottle. It's safe, is great for storing, and pours super easy.
I just bought it. You need to search several sites to find the fuel. They are sold out a lot of places. But great product!!
Where did you find the fuel?
@@TheProvidentPrepper Thank you!
I thought I could only use the ready hour one. I found them at PREPARE TODAY and RIGHT TO BEAR. Good to know there are other, safe, options.
Stupid question…the 6 hour canned fuel from Ready Hour says you can cook with it but some of the restaurants websites say the canned heat it is for warming only. What about the two makes them different?
JR. I’d like to know too. I do know my stove arrived today with two cans of the canned heat from Sam’s included, so it must be ok.
Thanks to you both for sharing such valuable information.
I just ordered one.
Thanks for the encouragement & knowledge of heating & cooking w/o electricity!
Awesome addition to preps! Thanks, guys!!
I have numerous ways to cook but I got hooked with this one too! Bought the Ember oven also so I bought 4 cases of the canned heat from Sam’s Club. It is best to be prepared for any scenario tossed to us and the fact it can be used indoors made it a must for me.
Super item! I saw that recently! I have some of that canned heat and a small stove...as well as a table top stove with cans of fuel...not a lot but enough for now.
This is so awesome. Thanks guys. I need to show this to my husband.
What an informative video! Great alternatives for cooking and heating during the tough times approaching. Excellent presentation as always. What a great back-up for apartment dwellers. Hope and I use kerosene all winter long to supplement our home where this year we are setting the thermostat at 60 degrees. Kerosene in the Midwest has stayed steady at $3.99/gal. We keep about 17 gals on hand. With three heaters we could heat the entire home with them if we had to. They burn clean and cause no carbon monoxide build-up. One of the older kerosene heaters, a KeroSun, has a flat top surface for cooking. I routinely make oatmeal with this one. Hope and I recommend your channel to our viewers (Under the Median) and mentioned you in our last video. You guys are tops! Blessings.
@@TheProvidentPrepper - Thank you. We love the fact that your channel presents positive, practical, & creative solutions for potential emergencies without alarm or panic. Great content.
This device is good to have but does have some drawbacks as well, like just about any alternative. Personally i seperated out what i need for cooking vs. what i need to heat my house. For cooking I have a solar oven (helpful hint - heat up rocks/sand in a glass jar using a solar oven to use as a heat source), rocket stove, single electric hotplate (I have a couple of portable power stations/battery packs and use solar for recharging. i can also run my air dryer with these as well) and finally a grill that runs on propane and i stocked up enough propane to run it on high for well over 250 hours
I have a propane camp stove for emergencies. Yes I know it should not be used inside. Best wishes, and thanks for your videos!
This product is Brilliant! I purchased it. Thanks for featuring it!
Just bought this and love your video... .thanks!
Add pink fiberglass insulation to the cans of alcohol fuel. It keeps the fuel from sloshing around in the cans and prolongs the burn time of the fuel. The cap will need to be in place, adjusted so it does not cover the holes where the flames exit.
Thanks for letting us know about this great new product!
Terrific video. Looks like a good product that can work wonders. Thank you Jonathan, Kylene and Konel. Happy trails!
I hope the inventor of that device makes MILLIONS!!!
That would be great in all house hold. A must have item
Wow, thank you!
i bought 2 , haven't seen any reviews. thought about doing one my self..
now lets see how good/bad they are.. thanks
I ordered one almost immediately after watching this video. But I ordered directly from Instafire, as I tend to eliminate a middle man when I can.
As a single guy in a studio apartment, it is an excellent tool to add to my survival tool box. Thank you for showing the off-label alternative of alcohol stoves also.
Thanks for all the great videos.
Great video! I def need to get one of these. When you went off-label I thought you were going to tea lights. I'm still bummed that the Eco HERC Tea Light oven is no longer available lol One small suggestion for improvement - I noticed when the drawer was pulled out the front of it dropped to the countertop. I know that it won't get so hot that it would damage the countertop, but perhaps to avoid scratching the surface that it is on. Just a thought.
Wow super nice will have to get some of this thanks again for a great video
I bought one,I feel more secure having this , thank you 😇🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I have been looking for a review of the Vesta!! Thank you!!
Just ordered one. Thanks!
Mine arrive a couple of days ago. I’m impressed by how sturdy it is. I have one of the folding sterno stoves and always worried about how flimsy it seemed. This is soooo much sturdier! No worries whatsoever about boiling a pot of water on it.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I ordered the stove and thanks for the Sam's tip. It's very well made and is one of those marvelous things that is genius in its simple design but highly functional. I think this would fit into a soft sided cooler as a carry case. My Patriot Supply currently has a bundle with the stove and 24 cans of fuel. I have a buddy heater but that would be the only thing for which I buy propane, so like the multi purpose of this and longer shelf life of the canned fuel. Buying this for gifts. Keep up the great work!
I have a decent sized solar electric system and using a mini split heat pump as my main heat and using an induction cooktop with it for cooking a long with rice cooker and bread maker. I also have propane as a back up heat and cooking.
Thanks. Just ordered one along with fuel from Sam's club. This will be great for emergencies.
Thank you! This is absolutely AWESOME!!!🙏🏻🙌🙌🙌
Ordered one. Liked it so much, I ordered two more. One for each of my kids.
P.S. For cooking (in a grid down scenario) I prefer a rocket stove. Must be used outdoors, But it has an almost inexhaustible fuel supply.
I think THIS has become my alternative heating solution! I couldn't find the link to this product, but I can contact you via alternate means and get the link, if need be. Thank you so much for presenting this item! -The Shaw's
