Portable Propane Camping Heater

The heater for the morning the woodstove is still cold.

How John uses it

This is a supplemental heater, not a primary one. I use it for the first 20 minutes of a cold morning while the woodstove catches, and for point heat in the shed when I’m working on electronics and don’t want cold fingers on a soldering iron.

I do not run it while I sleep and I do not run it in a sealed space. Propane combustion produces carbon monoxide. Respect that or don’t buy a propane heater at all.

Why John recommends it

A portable heater with no power cord is the difference between surviving a winter power outage and genuinely suffering through one. It’s also the tool that makes the shed, the garage, or the back porch usable in January. Buy it, learn its safe-use rules, and keep a CO alarm in any space you run it.
