VESTA Emergency Heater and Cooker: The Answer to Indoor Heating and Cooking During a Power Outage

The least expensive place to purchase it is at a restaurant supply company or Sam's Club. A huge thank you to Konel for his brilliance in designing this heater cooker combo!

I have 2 of these. They were an answer to my prayers. Now, I could be self-sufficient in an emergency. But I want to warn anyone who will listen that you cannot turn your back on these. The 4th time I used them, I went into another room to resume getting ready for the day. I was not gone 15 minutes, and suddenly the ear-piercing scream of my smoke alarms went off. The top portion of the Vesta had caught fire (I don't know how) and there were flames shooting out all 4 sides starting to melt the plastic handles. Black soot was rising up towards the ceiling. I was so scared, but I acted immediately. I grabbed the whole thing, trying to hold from the bottom which was less hot. But my thumbs had to hold it stable while I ran like a madwoman to the bathroom and threw the Vesta in the toilet. I know, not a bright idea. But it was the most direct way to extinguish the fire. Seconds later, I realized it had splashed and caught the toilet paper on fire, and worse, the shower curtain on the bottom (which was rising fast). I turned on the handheld shower spray and extinguished the shower curtain fire while simultaneously throwing the toilet paper into the bathtub to be extinguished also. My thumbs sustained some minor burns. Please, please, be careful when using this device. I will no longer be using the top fan portion at all, because I am slightly traumatized by what happened. I will use the bottom portion, and may even use the grate. But I will NEVER turn my back on it again. My situation could have been much worse. Please let this be a warning to everyone using the Vesta. It can be a Godsend, but PLEASE be careful!!!

[@Southern195]

Did you contact the seller? I definitely would make them aware of what happened and ask what caused it!! I just got mine out last night and tested it and was very impressed with the amount of heat that it put out.

[@educational4434]

This must have come down to the particular fuel cans that were being used. The only people I have heard of experiencing shooting flames within one of these is someone who used Trangia-style alcohol burners

[@jenniferpetrellicarslearni2265]

I'm so sorry for what you experienced! That just sounds terrifying! Can you tell me what type of fuel you are using? If this happened to one person it could happen to another. I will never ever use this. Thank you for the warning!!!

[@amys8398]

@@Southern195 No, because I’m not looking for a replacement. And that’s how they probably would have placated me. I just want to honestly warn people to never turn your back on these things. Since my post, I purchased a fire blanket (which I could have thrown on it instead of trying to pick it up while on fire). Would recommend fire blankets for everyone.

[@amys8398]

@educational44 I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I was using the same sterno cans that they recommend. Do you see in the video how the flame shoots up past the grate and discolors it? If it does that to metal, imagine what it is doing to the fan area - because the flame is REACHING AND TOUCHING the fan (which has plastic right next to it) melting it, and setting it on fire. 🔥 You can ignore my warning and move on….I have nothing to gain by posting this except not wanting my experience to happen to anyone else.

[@chicago48001]

Great video. I immediately ordered a Vesta, joined Sam's Club and bought 4 cases of fuel for 19.43/12 cans. I now have 5 alternate heating methods and 6 cooking methods. It was so nice to see you so proud of your son's accomplishments!

[@aarifaamos]

[@chicago48001]

Correction. Truck cab heater not “can”

[@STho205]

That's $4 - $5 for short heating of 3-5 hrs a day. $20 for 24hrs when cold all day and night. X30 means $600 a month if someone is home all day. They are way underestimating their canned heat burn times. Canned heat is made for dinner party catering. That's more than a KeroSun heater costs to run on station pump K1 at $5/gal...add 50c worth of Fuel Treatment perfume to turn it into expensive lamp oil. However the KeroSun makes 33000BTU running all day on a gal....this makes 7500BTU. Heat pump, if power is available is about $80 a month for a whole 1200sqft new build house or apartment. Minisplit about $50. This is a neat little sterno tent heater...or a shed The Trangia alch stoves they tried, burn up their fuel in under 30 minutes..so that seemed an odd experiment. If the unit is jostled, the lit alcohol spills and burns invisible....everywhere. All the fuels exhaust CO2 and H20 into the living/sleeping space despite odor or not.

After watching this last night, I waited until this morning to make sure I wasn't buying it out of emotion. This morning I went for coffee with friends who used to live in Texas and were there during that huge winter storm power outage. They were out of power for two full days and had to huddle around their gas fireplace. Well, we do not have a gas fireplace, nor a wood fireplace. I have tried to figure out some things we could do from watching your and others videos but didn't think any were great options. I am excited about this stove/heater and ordered one today. My husband isn't really into preparing like I am so I like that it isn't stupidly expensive. It isn't dirt cheap either but I think a very fair price for the technology!

Use aluminum foil to twist and fold into a roll to use as spacers between the cans to keep them from sliding around.

[@pamelarising344]

Great idea! I only used 2 cans to test heat and it was good but noticed that the cans shifted. Maybe I will try cutting a pie tin down to fold and take the place of third can. Edit: Or after you empty a can, use it in place of one full can.

Last winter, with the electric going out, was enough for me to do so along with the extra canned heat. Seems the price has gone up (a bit) on them, too. If another sale runs on them, I will definitely order a few more. With the way things are going, you never knew when these will come in handy or if an elderly neighbor might need use of one. I just needed to know how to operate them and thanks to video, I have a bit more knowledge about how. Who ever invented these; thank and bless you!😇🥰

Looks like a great product. I like that it can dispense heat too. I have some Greenscapes sturdy, foldable flat camp stoves that use chafing fuel. They are now hard to find in stores and online. The cooking surface is large enough to hold a 10" frying pan and most pots and pans. I purchased 5, 12-pack cases of 6 hour chafing fuel at Sam's Club a little over a year ago. The price was much lower then. But like you said, they do last a long time. I watched a video of guy who had the same camp stove I have. He used the same chafing fuel that was just over 10 years, and it still worked great. I have a couple of GoSun solar cookers too as a backup cooking source. Appreciate your videos, especially in this time of worldly turmoil. God bless.

[@pstoneking3418]

Looks like a good camping stove. I normally top off my 1000 gallon propane tank every year which usually takes around 200 gallons to do that. So if times get tight, I'll cut back on my use and it'll last me a good four years hopefully things will get better by then.

I've enjoyed all your videos on emergency heating and cooking. Already have a natural gas space heater that works without electricity, a Lil Buddy propane heater, a butane cooker, Coleman camp stove and others plus fuel. But, you can never have too many emergency heat and cooking options so I ordered one of these and 3 twelve can cases of fuel from Sam's. Thanks for making me aware of this option and for all the great work you do. We got our Harvest Right medium freeze dryer about 2 months ago. Life got in the way so we have only done 1 batch of fruit so far. Would love to see videos of preparing different foods for the freeze dryer. Particularly MRE type meals that can be used to prepare hot meals in emergency situations by heating water with something like the VESTA.

[@nancyspringston8547]

We have 2 of these and I plan to get a couple more….for the purpose of warming us, of course does allow for cooking and for keeping a pot of water. We tested our first one and that fan did kick out a surprising amount of warmth. We had a power outage during a snow storm last May. I have chaffers, so that worked very well for heating food and keeping water hot tea, making french press coffee, etc. BUT I used three cans of this canned fuel under an oven rack suspended on top of 4 large cans on top of my glass top stove. I was able to cook a package of Mac & cheese, fried some Spam or ham, and a vegetable. I also fried, scrambled, or poached eggs this way, browned some brown N serve sausage links. Had hot water for instant oatmeal or cream of wheat…but could easily cook the real thing too. We also keep 4-6 butane tanks for our gas grill and we have the grill just outside our sliding glass door. We can easily cook, grill, bake and boil water on the grill. For staying warm we can take our car out into the driveway, and run it for an hour with the heater going, and heated seats on. Our car has wifi. We got thoroughly warmed, then came inside and went to bed. If roads are safe one can drive around a little bit to keep the car battery charged up…but the day we did that it had snowed and we did not need to be out on the roads….sitting in the drive way with our electronics for 1 hour worked extremely well. S Slept very well nice and cozy. We also have 2 solar “generators” and we have electric throws. Those can be warmed up and then will keep us cozy if needed…. I have been purchasing cases of 12 or 24 of the canned 6 hour fuel. I use them for my catering anyway, and the oven rack on top of the stove worked magically. ]

The cooking part we already had down with a butane camp stove, a duel fuel propane/butane camp stove, the BBQs down by the pool, and slow cooking using my 12v Hot Logic Mini plugged into my vehicle camper’s auxiliary battery power system with a solar panel (just back from a road trip more than 1400 miles round trip & no restaurants! Great food & hot meals). The heating in winter 🥶 has been on my mind. Sure we can put a tent in the livingroom & wear extra sweaters & wool socks 🧦, even plug the car blanket into a power station’s 12v socket to preheat a sleeping bag, but putting that heater/stove thing on the brick hearth in front of the fireplace we usually can’t have a wood fire in because of air quality restrictions sounds like a possible solution. I like the duel purpose of cooking AND heating. Already sent out a link to some relatives we were talking about using canned heat as a cooking alternative. Thanks for more thought provoking videos!

Hope and I use kerosene all winter long to supplement our home where this year we are setting the thermostat at 60 degrees. Kerosene in the Midwest has stayed steady at $3.99/gal. We keep about 17 gals on hand. With three heaters we could heat the entire home with them if we had to. They burn clean and cause no carbon monoxide build-up. One of the older kerosene heaters, a KeroSun, has a flat top surface for cooking. I routinely make oatmeal with this one.

I have a buddy heater but that would be the only thing for which I buy propane, so like the multi purpose of this and longer shelf life of the canned fuel. Buying this for gifts. Keep up the great work!

Thanks. Just ordered one along with fuel from Sam's club. This will be great for emergencies.

For easy storing of the denatured alcohol, buy a Trangia Multi-fuel bottle. It's safe, is great for storing, and pours super easy.

I think THIS has become my alternative heating solution! I couldn't find the link to this product, but I can contact you via alternate means and get the link, if need be. Thank you so much for presenting this item! -The Shaw's

I'm loving this video in particular because it's the answer to my prayer

[@marlysswearengin9374]

Thanks for the encouragement & knowledge of heating & cooking w/o electricity!

[@jackr1305]

I have the alcohol burners but please remember the rubber o ring, don’t snuff with the o ring in it may melt just a tip

[@janmclain6301]

I have a propane camp stove for emergencies. Yes I know it should not be used inside. Best wishes, and thanks for your videos!

[@janec9850]

First, I would like to thank you both for your efforts to educate people and share what you know to help them. I laud you both and thank you for your time and hard work. Your hearts are in the right place. Now, I will be a bit petty because there is something that bothers me to the extent that your videos have become a two sided coin for me. The one side is that you're one of the best be prepared channels on youtube. The other side is that every time I watch a video, it seems as if the husband can't seem to make a point or a statement without a comment, subtle correction or an interruption of some kind from his wife. It's always well-meaning, but sometimes it sounds a little condescending. I know this will cause a fury among their followers (I am one) but I said it - there! I apologize if I've hurt anyone's feelings. 😕

[@dudleydooright]

Very nice. I actually use my Mr. Buddy heater (with a paint roller grid attached on top) to cook on when ice fishing and it works great. I do like this fuel source though... would be easy to store away for emergency situations.

[@greyballer1671]

For emergency heat i have a generator that will power everything in my house but the central air and electric dryer that can run on my natural gas or propane or gas. I have a small Franklin wood stove that I can hook up to the chimney in the basement and pipes etc for it. I have 2 electric space heaters, a mr buddy propane heater, and lots of wool blankets. For cooking I also have a duel fuel Coleman stove and a small butane stove. Also gas, charcoal , and a pellet grill. So im pretty set but this thing looks very interesting as there is no smoke like my wood stove or noise like my generator. If there were unrest, this might be a great way to go in a smaller room. Thanks!

[@backdoor5993]

I have several options for heating and cooking (wood stove, kerosene heaters, butane burner, etc...) but this option is intriguing because of the peltier fan. Question: Can you put a pot on top of the "room" heater and heat water? I'm thinking about a small kettle that might provide hot water throughout the day.?

Kylene ! Connell must be Irish. You might remember I was thinking of buying a chafing dish to heat my food initially. Great for highlighting this. 😺🍀💚🍀😺🍀

[@icecreamladydriver1606]

This is so awesome. Thanks guys. I need to show this to my husband.

💜Y’all make me so happy! Luv u and all u do! 💜

[@keithgaffney678]

Add pink fiberglass insulation to the cans of alcohol fuel. It keeps the fuel from sloshing around in the cans and prolongs the burn time of the fuel. The cap will need to be in place, adjusted so it does not cover the holes where the flames exit.

I have a Vesta and I love it!

[@francesjuntunen4234]

I have been looking for a review of the Vesta!! Thank you!!

[@terminatortsw8006]

⭐️ Question: Could you please tell me WHAT we can and cannot cook on this grill temperature related? Can we fry, sauté onions, cook chicken, etc.? Also, yikes! A pack of canned heat on Amazon is $56.00!!!😱 I’m not a member of Sams Club so where else may we affordably buy this? It would be cost prohibitive if we needed this as a daily cooking AND constant heat source? Thank you 🙏🏻

[@drkwilliams1131]

Sam’s club has a 50% off membership going on now. It is $25.00 IF you apply online.

[@judyluchies2492]

I bought one,I feel more secure having this , thank you 😇🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@shaz240]

Hi thank you for your emergency heating cooking tips .... Question when you are using 2 can's Safe Heat when you were cooking .... the 3rd can was not being used and it had a cap on the can. I was concerned that the fuel in this sternal can might explode due to the hot burning cans next to it and the lid is tight on unused can. Do we have to have the unused can of Safe Heat in the Vesta? Thank you

[@etiennelouw9244]

Great, I'll make a plan over here in Cape Town, South Africa. Amazon delivers here too.

[@mildredi5408]

Good video. Very helpful. Good ideas thank you

[@manofthetombs]

I ordered one almost immediately after watching this video. But I ordered directly from Instafire, as I tend to eliminate a middle man when I can. As a single guy in a studio apartment, it is an excellent tool to add to my survival tool box. Thank you for showing the off-label alternative of alcohol stoves also.

[@unforcedrhythmsforall]

😲 That exists? AMAZING! God bless Konel and all involved in this effort!

[@arizonamountainwoman3750]

Thank you for this video. This product is exactly what I have been looking for. WOW!!

[@mobilemomma3853]

I am having tons of backups for heat, I have a buddy heater and propane, I have alcohol and know how to make a burner, have canned heat and a folding stove and now I am ordering a 12v car heater with an adapter to plug into my solar power that is in my campervan and can run an extension cord from my van to my house and have heat that way too, could also use safely in my van if that were the case.

[@MrLandphill]

Thanks for all the great videos.

[@julielafavor5866]

I just tried out Sam’s club chaffing fuel the fumes were strong. I thought it didn’t have fumes

[@micheleedwards1923]

Just bought this and love your video... .thanks!

[@Laura.4]

I bought one. This is exactly what I’m looking for

[@John_rwc]

Thanks to you both for sharing such valuable information. I just ordered one.
