Met de butaan propaan flessen werkt het toestel enkel voor Ongeveer 1,5 uur als het niet te koud is. De heater heeft een hoog debiet nodig om the werken , zeker op de hoogste stand. Doordat het gas te koud wordt om goed te kunnen verdampen, daardoor wordt de verbranding onregelmatig en kun je zelfs gasgeur waarnemen. Gebruik het Primus gas voor koude temperaturen. ( bruine tanks van 450 Gram) Deze werken zonder problemen.Ander heel handig maar werkt werkt best op puur propaan in een grote tank, (6 of 12 kg)

The item is made of good materials and works so good. no doubt of its performance upon my checking. It comes with adaptor as well so you are given more options for its cartridge. there are two points that you must consider before buying this item.1- when I turned it on, i noticed i could not keep it on if all windows are closed at home or in bedroom if we are asleep.2- it does not come with gas capsule. so you should buy it but make sure you buy compatible one.

This thing blasted its heat to the camping tent (9sqM) like nobody's business.... and that was on low. you have to regulate it (meaning turn it off and on yourself) manually but it works and works really well. CO2 and water are byproducts of these types of heaters so my CO2 sensor went off scale everytime, dont forget to ventilate and you will be fine. 5 stars becuse if you read the manual and know what you are buying you already know that.

*** UPDATE *** I've used this a ton of times with great success, but it s a Propane (not Butane or even a Propane-Butane mix) heater. You may have difficulty getting true Propane in Europe as the winters are more mild. In North America high-quality Propane is easy to come by and is very necessary in brutal winters.(Propane burns much hotter Butane and will burn at very low temperatures such as -40C. Butane on the other hand will likely not ignite easily or at all below 0C. Butane kicks out comparatively little heat vs. Propane and burns quite dirtily so it'll clog up your Mr Buddy heater.)Suffice it to say, the best way to use this heater is with a bulk external Propane tank, that will last many hours - such as a 20 pound tank.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
