This is my second Mr. Heater product, I also have the smaller version. This is a significant improvement in both heat capacity and being "Indoor-Safe". It has proven very effective and reliable, and it makes living aboard my boat in the winter (Chesapeake Bay) quite comfortable. Especially this winter, '09-'10.

If you fulltime in an RV, you know about cold days & nights. Maybe you want to warm the bedroom before showering, or maybe you want to warm your tootsies while watching DWTS. This "Portable Buddy" will do the trick for short bursts of heat.I'm amazed to say the sides & bottom remained cool to the touch ("cool" as in room temp) after a full hour of use. Of note: it didn't heat a glass of cold water touching its side. Indeed, the LP can on the other side got cold enough to attract condensate! No gas smell during use.It includes an oxygen sensor among its multiple failsafes -- but take care when using it in an RV bedroom. If you put it on a dresser, it could melt your ceiling. Also, your bedroom will heat up VERY quickly, so please don't leave it unattended.Disposable LP cans cost a lot, but right now I only plan to use it for spot applications. In the future, though, I'll look at a refillable...

I bought one of these from a local store. It works well and I got 4-5 hours of use from the 1 pound canister of propane. The only drawback is when I used it in my deer stand the wind kept blowing the pilot out thus the heater went out. If you can block the wind with a skirt around your stand it may help. I have used the heater in the house and it works fine and really does heat up the space even on low setting.

Heating plants shut down

May 22, 2012 | The Naval Base Ventura County energy team of Ken Mears or Tom Santoianni will review requests for portable space heaters on a case-by-case basis. Portable space heaters using gas or liquid fuel are prohibited. Portable electric space heaters must be Underwriter Laboratory (UL) or Factory Mutual (FM) approved and must have a label or approval affixed with a built-in thermostat and a tip-over device. As always, electric portable heaters are prohibited, except as allowed through Navy regulations. Before using a portable space heater, a permit must be obtained from the Fire Prevention Office. The restriction on portable heaters is in recognition of the fire hazard and intensive energy use they represent. Questions about the policy can be directed to Santoianni at 982-4075 or Mears at 982-1807. In keeping with the energy policy set forth in Navy regulations, heating plants are now shutting down for the summer. The intent of these Navy regulations is to help conserve energy. Read more »

Questions & Answers

Compare propane on a little portable heater to the propane on the portable gas grill?

Sep 23, 2006 by buddypogo

These little portable propane heaters can be used with a 20 gal tank -- is this the same system we would use on our portable gas grills?

Read the user guide because some heaters run on a different sort of fuel such as heating oil. But if it says propane, and the fittings are compatible, then you can use the same tank that you use for your grill.
