Cost:-Contrary to the assumption that this item is overpriced, it was imported, so there is import tax, the postage is £56, and the included brass adapter. Not to mention the import hassle, and long wait have been taken away. Therefore it is *actually* truly exceptional value.Usability:-Some guy had difficulty lighting it, but in the video the angry person posted, you can clearly see that person not following the instructions, or the numerous youtube videos. :shrug:. So ignore the irate guys rant, he's totally mistaken. Anyway, the pilot light lights first time every time, as does the burner plate. Just remember to hold the button as instructed for a full 30-40 seconds to prime the pipes and then light the pilot light - until you hear gas flowing.The pipes are full of air at first and you need to flush out the air, which angry guy didn't do.Performance:-So this thing kicks out an absolute ton of heat on medium setting! It's feels approximately the same heat output as a full-size single bar gas fire in your house. The device has two preset settings, medium and high, and you simply don't need any more. The presets are obviously for safety - to keep enough gas flowing to keep the ceramic heating panel correctly heated. Consequently I registered zero on my Carbon-monoxide PPM meter while testing this device. (My other lesser gas stoves in the same environment all read around 10-15PPM - which is safe, but it is there, so this stove is also squeaky clean).Build:-The device seems to be well made with good firm controls, and has loads of testing labels from the factory. I have no doubt this device will last for many years.Economy:-I use and tested this stove with EN417 C500 (approx 1pound) cartridges. I found I got at least 6 hours burn from one C500 can of 70:30 (Butane:Propane), but sometimes as long as 8 hours. The 70:30 split also allows a cleaner burn and cold-weather performance down to -15C. To put that into perspective, that is incredibly economical considering the heat output. My next best heater uses 227 gram Butane cartridges, which last around 20-40 minutes, and kicks out half the heat of this unit.It is really really simple to connect this device to a 20 pound propane tank (the red ones) via an EN417 male adapter cable. That 20 pound tank would (in my huble estimation) last at least 150hours + constant burn time.Verdict:-Because it's USA made and suffers high postage and import costs, it seems like a high initial cost.However, considering how much you'll save on gas over time if you connect it to a larger Propane tank, you'll quickly make back the cost. It is very well built and puts out a lot of heat, enough to heat a medium apartment.I live in my RV over winter, and nothing comes close to this on the market for both performance and economy. There are no gas smells either, which suggests very clean combustion. You can often smell gas on cheaper heaters.Highly recommended!Other:-If you do connect a bigger external Propane tank, please remember to get a MR HEATER connection hose with build-in filter, or my preference, 'oil free' hose. This is essentially to prevent chemicals leeched from the pipe building up in the burner and rendering it inoperable. (There are plenty of MR HEATER informational videos on the subject and why).Ambient temp operation :-If you use C450/500 tanks or similar, the tanks will automatically ice quite a bit and thus lower the temperature of the propane below it's useful level, and it goes sluggish. Lots of people complain of this heater 'working for 10 minutes' or whatever along those lines. It's just tank icing. You can put a neoprene sock on the gas can to greatly reduce tank icing, but every heater in the world has this issue in low ambient temps. It's it's really cold when you use this heater, you can buy 'Coleman Xtreme' gas which is rated down to -27C, which works great at any ambient temp. Its just a case of buying the right gas for your conditions, or hooking to a large external tank that doesn't have this issue. Although the Coleman Xtreme's are C300 cans and a little smaller, they bunch much better and so you'll get more heat, so it's a fair trade off in my book. The laws of physics are not this heaters fault :D

Glorious heater to have in a tent. Comes with a US-style 1lb gas bottle adapter so you can use it with hideously expensive EN417 campaign gas bottles. Rather than use this, I got a 1lb gas hose from eBay and cut it, fitted a brass quick release LPG connector and hooked it up to a large refillable propane tank from which I run a lamp, fridge cooker and hot water boiler. I calculated that on max the heater is almost half the power of the wood stove in our living room. Scorchio!Lights reliably and seems to burn very cleanly, propane produces water on combustion so be sure your environment can handle the moist air.The heater is fairly large in comparison to the size of the ceramic panel that doesthe work but this is for lots of internal room safely separating the housing from the heat.

I have only given this 4 stars on the basis the gas canisters only last one hour on full and around 2 hours on low which I am a bit disappointed with. However the heater itself is excellent. It starts first click and kicks out a fair amount of heat. I use it as a back up in my Motorhome and works a treat.

Hellishly expensive, especially as you can buy these in the US for under $100 ! Apart from that, it's great! I have a 5m canvas bell tent and it works perfectly.
