I have looked long and hard at a small portable heater option for use in the home during power cuts.......Summerhouse.......tent etc.
There are a good few out there varying in price and performance.....build quality and features as well as safety features.
Always a good idea to use these heaters in a well-ventilated space and have a CO2 detector in use.
My personal choice has come down to the "Mr Heater Portable."
Have tried woodburning stoves and although enjoyable to use they can be temperamental and need a good supply of wood to keep going.....not always available..... in wet conditions especially.
I have a "Coleman Sportcat catalytic heater" that will take the chill off of a small area......but not provide a decent warmth when you need it.
This would be a nice addition to the Scotland kit.
If battened down.........or just to have on for an hour or two in the mornings.........or at night before bed.
Also handy for an instant hot tent............ if needed in an emergency situation.
So....I am pondering at the moment.......but can see me hitting the button on one of these little gems.
I have the adapter to refill the 1lb Coleman canisters from a larger bottle.....so it would be quite economical to run.
Or run it on the 20lb bottles (Lagged) with the additional hose.
As for size and space......the large bottle and Heater would not take up as much room as most wood burners.
Food for thought.....what do you reckon??
