Mr. Heater F232050 Portable Propane Heater: 4,000- to 9,000-BTU radiant heater for spaces up to 225 square feet
Meet North America's favorite portable propane heater—this little powerhouse is a game-changer for chilly adventures. With its patented radiant design pumping out 4,000 to 9,000 BTUs, it hooks right up to a 1 lb. cylinder (no fuss, no muss) and turns large tents (up to 200 sq. ft.) into cozy retreats. What's the secret? A genius size-to-BTU ratio and a fold-down handle that somehow makes it pack a serious punch without hogging space. (Who knew warmth could be so compact?)
And here's the kicker: a swivel regulator lets you switch from disposable cylinders to a remote gas supply—just grab a hose and filter, and you're set. Lighting it up is a breeze: twist the knob to pilot, give it a push, and let the built-in Piezo sparker do its magic. Plus, with safety features like the Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS) and tip-over shut-off, you're covered for years of snug, worry-free heat. (Because safety should never take a backseat to comfort.)
Heads up, high-altitude explorers: above 7,000 FT, this heater might decide it's time for a break. Just something to keep in mind.
- Auto shut-off if tipped over, if pilot light goes out, or if detects low oxygen levels
- Approved for outdoor use; clean-burning; nearly 100-percent efficient
- Fold-down handle; swivel-out regulator; connects to propane tank (not included)
- Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS) and accidental tip-over safety shut-off

Before buying this, I was using electric heaters that always left my tent cold and drained power sources too fast. In comparison, this one provides immediate, robust warmth that makes outdoor adventures much more enjoyable. Delivery was quick, and I appreciate the professional engineering behind its simple yet effective design. For someone like me who tends to make impulsive purchases, this was a solid choice—it delivers on its promise of reliable heat in a portable form. However, I'd caution others to consider their altitude needs, as it might not suit every environment. Overall, it's a dependable tool that has enhanced my cold-weather experiences.
- Pros: I was extremely impressed by how quickly it warmed up my space, making it feel cozy in no time. The compact design is a game-changer, fitting easily into my gear without taking up much room. Safety features gave me peace of mind, as it seemed to shut off automatically if tipped over or if air quality dropped. Connecting it to a small gas canister was straightforward, and the ignition worked reliably with a simple push.
- Cons: As it seemed to me, it might not perform well at higher elevations, which could be a drawback for mountain trips. The heat output, while strong, can feel a bit intense up close, so positioning it carefully is necessary to avoid discomfort. I noticed it uses gas quickly, so having extra canisters on hand is essential for longer use.
