I have seen a few of this type of tent/room heater around on the internet......and have been tempted to give one a go.
For me......this one stands out from the rest....both in quality and design.
Made from stainless steel and alloy..... with a clay pot in the head (replaceable) of the unit to hold and amplify the heat generated.
The heater will work without it should it get broken.
Clean burn and cheap and easy to run (using the recommended SPAA candles)
No gas....oil.... with the associated problems and potential mess and expense that comes with them.
Ideal for use in a double walled 4 season tent living space......enough to take the chill off.....and provide a nice ambient comforting light.
As well as preventing water freezing and batteries going flatten the cold.
The heater can be purchased with either a 2 or 4 bladed fan......a bonus if you need to move the heat around in a larger space.
The options for use are many fold....home....car/van....tents......camper vans etc.
Some other types like the UCO (example) offer 9hr candles but at nearly £6 for 3 (Average)......a tad expensive.
Using the SPAA 8hr T Lights a pack of 120 for £15.99 it works out to about 52p per 8hr burn (If my maths are right)
I will be hitting the button on one of these....8hr version without the fan for the time being......as I am thinking the fan would be better used in a larger space.
The unit will take up very little space in a pack or holdall.....easy to transport....and lightweight.
The company advise that the unit be placed on a heat resistant matt when in use....soldering type matt to save possible damage to surfaces.....like sewn in groundsheets
As with most heaters in use....common sense and awareness is a must.
