Mr Heater Propane Tank Top Space Heater Ice Fishing

Just a brief review, setup, and demonstration of the Mr. Heater Propane tank topper single dish space heater.

[@zaida500]

I love early mornings to watch the sunrise! This little thing has a great heat output kzbin.infoUgkxAvrAfikbUEMthp3AZ6iX5FKdiHfzy_RP . I sit in my rocker, warm, and watch the sunrise! It's great for travel as well. Just stow and go. Love this thing! For hunters, I've heard that they also make a little hood so that it focuses the heat a bit more if you have to sit further away. Just a heads up. It's so easy and quick to set up and get going.

[@LUCKY4EVER69]

great vid, however, it's not called a release valve, it's a thermoelectric valve. when depressed, it opens your gas valve for lighting purposes until enough heat has warmed the thermocoupler , which in turn produces approx 25-35 millivolts which in turn causes the gas valve to remain open.

[@BentRod]

Fire Stormin thanks for the info. I probably never would've learned that had you not shared. awesome.

[@LUCKY4EVER69]

no worries mate. cheers

I love it when people get on my KZbin videos with a sole purpose of trying to out impress me with their knowledge or definition of words.

[@christas.5548]

Right on....I'm trying to get some ideas to heat the cabin in out boat for spring fishing trips This seems like it fits the bill. Hard to keep warm, especially when sitting. Tying knots is just not enough exercise.

[@BrandamnPSN]

So I might have missed it. On a full tank. How long will it last if you didn’t turn it off?

[@garrystephenson4119]

Great review.....I wish I'd watched this before trying to set mine up.......wasted 30 minutes trying to screw it in CLOCKWISE!

[@vinceglauser4770]

I love the location, ice fishing. Excellent review.

[@MrHarryson1985]

I'd like to know how long one could run on the medium setting

[@cleehammer1210]

Good review, thanks for sharing. I have the single burner in a smaller shack, about half the size of yours and it works well. In a bigger shack though, it takes at least the double topper to keep up. Keep in mind though, that is here in Canada and it is in the -40 degrees (Celsius) with the windchill very often when I am fishing. Great heaters though, I highly recommend!

[@mgoody8782]

My pilot light wouldn’t stay lit So I cleaned the the anti-tip over switch (normally open) Then lightly sanded the tip of the thermo coupler then it was back into working order. These little guys are easy to work on

[@geraldmcclellan7564]

or you could use a 7/8 rench so you don't damage the threads😶

[@geraldmcclellan7564]

+Michael Fretthold anyway good vid, if i didn't watch this vid first i would have thought something was wrong when i heard that humming😱

[@milkman2591]

😂 I was thinking the same thing

[@kajun9059]

Yesss. That humming freaked me out

[@ralphrojas7704]

How are all the wires connected to Mr here what if the button doesn't snap so it can light the pilot and how does it best people with the fire on the computer grill at the same time the gas is coming out Mr heater stay on and is it absolutely be safe when you have least wires hanging down and there are not attached to the pilot or button can you please show me the diagram of where these wires can be mounted on and what hole to what ground before I go under it strike the light will try to turn on the pilot please thank you very much

[@strangescience3414]

Is there an exhaust vent🤔

[@anthonymcreynolds7871]

How do these work in steady wind as far as staying lit?

[@theandreasjostenshow4273]

Yes!! This is the video I needed!!!

[@gardenoftwitty]

I knw this vid is il, but I just got one and wonder is the hissing sound normal or sign of a leak

[@paulfesler7052]

Carbon monoxide?

[@QQTrick1QQ]

They now sell fill adapters for the 1 pound bottles, thanks for the review

[@bfries555]

Illegal I think, to many blowing up.

[@ripptydevibes2581]

Refilling is unsafe unless you also purchase a good digital scale to be sure you do not overfill them.

How long does one tank last???

[@armyca]

48 hours on low settings

Thanks for this video man 🚹 . it was very helpful .

Will my Barbeque tank work?

[@luisgalvan6225]

Yes , is the same tank.

[@karenstahl4205]

Will this melt my 2 person hunting blind??

[@sadidcarrillo8556]

Does it give off the smell of propane gas when it is running? Considering one for use in my garage while the door is closed.

[@icualwayselfanso6397]

Won’t smell but use carbon MONOxide detecter or could be deadly

[@tombo552001]

[@bryanchaps3647]

Can you use a propane heater indoors?

[@brianmcminn5797]

yes but limited small ones in large non air tight rooms

[@egahd]

Recently homeless for 2 days in the cold and don't get a place till Jan 01 and I stay in a very cold trailer so I baught this today for 35$ it's sooo good BUT will I get gas from the propane dangers? I usually have it on for like an hour then I can leave if off for 5 hours or so before I need to reheat the trailer It's a medium sized trailer prolly a bit bigger than ur shake , smaller than a garage Should I keep a window open for safety on the fumes ? It's hard cause I wana keep the heat in so I keep all the windows shut , and I'm doing everything else to stay warm (3 blankets & sweaters with a coat) etc The walls of the trailer r basically just a paper thin tin .. so if u can gimme any advice on safety of gas fumes it would help Basically on the package it says not to use it the way u are (or the way I did) but I'm sure they just say that to protect them selves I feel like I used it the same way u did, but then again maybe u leave a bit of an opening for air to Get in... let me know anyone please :( P.s. There is no electricity that's why I require a gas one, plus I'm all out of money after getting enough can food to last me 3 weeks until I get my own apartment , I have 3 propane tanks I am mostly concerned about the gas making me fall asleep and never wake up or something like that.. plus it's scary lol so I stay awake all night and sleep during the day :-/ also it's warmer during the day

[@BentRod]

Jay, I wouldnt recommend falling alseep while using propane. Very dangerous and could cost you your life. Always use this product in a well vented area. Even my ice hut has mesh vents and when it gets warm enough I shut it off or open a door until I need the heat. Stay safe.

[@Charles-Lawrence]

So question I just bought this for ice fishing but I also want to potentially use it for heating my shed for when I'm working in it. Is it safe enough to use if I'm near it the entirety of use?

[@corruptllama5705]

I'm using one in my house rn lmaoo

[@timm2020]

How long will a 20 pound tank last on say Medium setting?

[@BentRod]

+timm2020 I've actually never timed it but I've gone out for over an 8 hour day and hardly went through half a tank. I'll usually go out a few times before I need to refill. It can be kind of a pain lugging around a full tank but it's totally worth it.

[@timm2020]

Bent Rod thanks

[@brianmcminn5797]

28-30 on low

[@rinooneone3]

I put my tank in a milk crate they fit perfectly and don't tip over when in the corner on snow

[@h3ktortr343]

O

[@koikingcollectibles]

So this is 100000 percent safe to use in my hut? I have a hut similar to yours. It's a pop up. Exact same heater

[@codystanley2760]

Fire makes carbon monoxide any gas use to make heat produces that, ventilation is key

[@brandonedwards9812]

Vice grips, same way i tighten my spark plugs.

[@LATOHOUSTON]

No brackets to hold it up other than the threads hmm interesting

[@Chris.E.]

It's very light

[@marcos22571]

Can you cook on it like the one from Tractor Supply?

[@Tj1056]

Hey so I tried using this, it will work fine when I first run it but as soon as I try and change the heat setting it kicks off. Any idea why it does this?

[@14moldyhamsandwich]

because it is made in china

[@charlesmirisola7741]

This looks pretty dangerous. It is crazy hot to the touch?

[@KamalaChameleon]

Why would you touch it.. of course it's hot.. yeah itll cook your skin right off if you touch it.

[@KamalaChameleon]

You can turn it off early with the control nob, or the tank Valve, or by giving the tank a nudge it'll shut off by itself with tip protection. 5 minutes it's cool to the touch again just like a stove burner.. you can even smoke around it, as long as you don't smell propane it shouldn't be a problem. Of course if the tank ruptures or is sumberged in flames or heat it'll f#$&in explode.. so don't rupture it and keep it away from any house fires and it'll be perfectly safe

[@DougHinVA]

he is 1:40 into the video before it is explained ...skip it...

[@pan3839]

I bought one from home depot and the damn thing doesn't fit the propane tank. I was so pissed it's been sitting in my basement corner ever since. I'm going to take it back to home depot and throw it through a window.

[@BentRod]

pan ! you should bring your propane tank with you so you can have a Home Depot employee show you that you're probably wrong.

[@pan3839]

Bent Rod yeah that's the plan. I figured maybe there's some adapter I need for proper assembly. because it truly doesn't fit.

[@BentRod]

pan ! typically these connections are universal. sometimes it's hard to get the threads started. you have to push in while you're turning. and don't forget they're reverse threads so you're turning the opposite way than you're used to.

[@jasonpowell2585]

pan ! FYI the threads are counter-clockwise you turn it left to tighten it in there it should fit I have the same unit that you're talking about I bought it from Home Depot and it fits fine hope that helps you

[@pan3839]

Bent Rod yes you were correct, my apologies for my stupidity. when I tried to assemble it the first time, I was kinda fatigued so I was easily frustrated. but after watching this video, I went back and quickly found I was terribly mistaken. now, it works fine...thanks.

[@markcrump1204]

People please don't do what this guy does and use vise grips. Use an adjustable crescent wrench or a 7/8 " open end hand wrench 🔧 so you don't round off the brass nut

SMH... reverse threads... Now I know!!

[@vxnova1]

Makes me cringe seeing you use the vice grips to tighten it, I just hand tighten mine and it works fine, or get an adjustable wrench

[@BentRod]

vxnova1 that makes no sense.. vice grips > wrench. They open and close allowing you to grip and release. I would not advise hand tightening as that could potentially allow for a leak - Not to mention the dish needs good tension to stand upright or else it falls over. The materials used in both the heater and the propane tank are resilient enough to withstand the on and off friction of the vice grips. It makes me cringe knowing that there's people out there like you who cringe watching people on KZbin videos use common tools.

[@vxnova1]

It's just that the vice grips will round off the corners of the nut eventually, the adjustable wrench won't. this is the type I'm talking about here www.amazon.com/Stanley-90-948-8-Inch-Adjustable-Wrench/dp/B000NIGOBS/ref=sr_1_4?s=power-hand-tools&ie=UTF8&qid=1485104881&sr=1-4&keywords=Adjustable+wrench

[@BentRod]

vxnova1 I know what your talking about and I'm kidding of course about the cringing. but my point is Mr Heater didn't use cheap materials on the nut. I've installed it hundreds of times the same way and the nut has only showed minimal wear. In most instances I'd agree with you but the vice grips are more convenient to me. it's a preference. thanks for checking the video out. hope the heater works great for you.

[@vxnova1]

Bent Rod great video by the way, good to know that they hold up well, I was thinking of taking mine ice fishing too (hence watching this video)l if we ever get enough ice here in central wi, There is a bracket with mine too that is supposed to hook onto the tank handle but it doesn't seem to work too well, I don't have any issues with hand tightening mine but it may because you are using it in much colder conditions than I did. I think I'll take the wrench along just as well when ice fishing just in case. I am a little concerned about using it inside a fishing shack though, do you take any co detectors or anything? Or you feel safe enough without?

[@LLNewfie]

@vxnova1 I have fished in a few huts with these type heaters. I bought one today and will try it out in my Eskimo 3 man tent tomorrow. Not worried about lack of oxygen, I will leave both doors unzipped a little.

[@jeffradie5277]

The thermal coupler always goes bad

[@BentRod]

That's not true. I've been using mine for years and never once had an issue. If you've had problems then bring that the the manufacturer or get a new one.

[@mykulc]

Great....while the gas switch works. After a few uses, the igniter/burn switch won’t stay on. I’ve tried returning and getting new ones, and they all quickly quit working 👎
