[@livinright1]

I have never seen a mini-butane heater! Tyvm for sharing 👍

[@jobabs]

A great size for a campervan to heat up the space. The storage case looks nice and rugged, too. Look forward to additional updates about it when you're out on the road.

[@HomeGrownCountryGirl]

Excellent option! I might have to purchase one. Thanks, Amanda!

[@jansibert1852]

I bought this exact heater a couple of years ago, and although I haven't needed it too often, when I did need it, it was perfect. I'm in a mini-van as well and it's stored under my bed at the moment. I tried several other heaters, but this one is by far the best. Good luck with yours.

[@krisb7465]

I have that heater as well. I like it as is small. Only issue is butane fuel won't flow in really cold weather, when propane will. I put my metal windscreen around it and also set it on fire resistant surface. And of course don't use it too close to anything, it will melt plastic.

Hi Amanda! Enjoyed meeting you and Wynston at Ironwood. I have a Toyota minivan that I heat with the car heater. Warms the place up quickly and is safe. Plus, it doesn't require an additional thing to haul around. Hope to see you on the road soon!

[@Bladonna25]

I have it! Works great for my mini van!

[@Gingergypsy]

That would be perfect for just hanging outside under the stars too! Especially when you run out of firewood 😅

[@VooV830]

Thank you, Amanda and Wynston..😊

[@Je-Lia]

Yeah, follow up impressions about the heater after a few uses would be great. I've seen that heater somewhere else before on a youtuber's channel. Amanda, I have to say, you are a key source of education BEFORE I embark on van-life. I can't yet, but I'm slowly going to get my toes wet when spring gets here. I have this whole Amazon wish-list of items. Lol! Dreaming, learning. Thanks for your videos. They are friendly and familiar, informative, frequent, and enjoyable (NOT awkward like some I've come across!) Great work little lady. Keep 'em coming! 😊

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Thank you, my friend!!

[@rayneday-trippin2554]

I have a heater like that it heats up great but would not leave it on all night obviously

[@mikehoward8201]

I bought one a couple of weeks ago for my SUV. Sometimes when I travel I have to stay in a town on my way on a two day trip. In the past I stay behind Cracker Barrel or such places overnight, and only had a sleeping bag and used it in my front passenger seat in my truck, but with my SUV, the back seats fold down flush, so I can put a foam air pad, and my bag on top of it and run this heater before sleeping, just to get the chill off, and also in the morning, before I come out of the bag! I read some reviews about the case and it is ok for storage but overall is pretty flimsy, imho. I gorilla taped the bottom hinge and used some painters tape to hold the latches shut on the top. One can should last several days and nights as I plan on using it. By travel camping, as I call it, I can save about $70 to $100 per night. If I stay at Cracker Barrel, I make it a point to eat both supper and breakfast there, kind of a payback to them for letting me stay on their property!

I picked up one of these a while back at REI. This thing is super cool and uses the same fuel as my stove.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Same! I'm stoked.

[@garylafreniere1112]

Hello Amanda it's Gary and Tatiana I have a heater just like that! I like it but it's best to leave it on low because the flame can get out of control on high really out of control hope the best for you! Gary and Tatiana

[@sherryhicks4156]

I have been looking for a small one too. I love this.

[@jaymedina3142]

I bought one about 2 years ago. Works good. The case it comes in is cheap crap. But the unit is good, effective.

[@juliehoot3916]

Hi Amanda, so look forward to Pam, Chloe and Cooper joining you and Wynston! How about you buy her second home? Its adorable! 😂

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Ahahaha! I definitely don't want that type of commitment. Plus, I'd have to be 55+ to live there!

[@GaryNichols50]

Great timing, Amanda. I just added that heater to my wish list about a week ago and was wondering how well it got the job done.

[@Bull_180]

That heater looks great

[@weekendlovinggypsy1737]

That's a great little heater. Well I'm hoping it stays that way. I am wanting to get a small wood burner for my van. I'll vent the pipes out the window with a wood and metal piece I'll make to fit the window and the pipe can go thru it to the outside.

[@Debrasvantasticjourney]

Thank you so much. That heater is on my Amazon “list”.

[@johnhunter3011]

A great little heater! 😊

[@mikam8801]

Luke from The Outdoor Gear Review has a video on it. (about a year ago) There is some good advice about a potential flare up he had when starting it, and why he thinks it happened. Other than that, it was a positive review.

[@joanies6778]

He just used it again in a recent video on his second channel. He also had another heater that doubles as a stove that uses propane. Love his channels, too!

[@mikam8801]

@@joanies6778 I’ll have to look for that video. Didn’t know he had a second channel. Thx.

[@jamesyoung3371]

Very cool! Those little things usually last for years and years.

[@sophiarose7610]

There is a special heat resistant pad that people use with this. It goes behind and underneath.

[@debbiekennedy6761]

The KZbinr “Shoestring Martha” has a Cupid heater and has made a video about it. She has had hers for a while.

[@Dreaming-kf4lw]

I’m in a crv and literally just bought a ozark propane heater. I think I will compare prices and sizes!! Would love to hear any follow ups you have moving forward 🌺🦋🌺

[@janineivey03121]

The company also has some great tools for equipment

[@belindasalinas]

This is the first butane heater I have seen. Most are the green propane canisters that I am very fearful of. Thank you for showing us this option.

[@johnpeddicord4932]

Enjoyed again, great review

[@karinhart489]

Looking forward to your further review of this heater in a minivan on the road.

[@MyShyCats]

I’ve been testing an eight inch terra cotta flower pot (like the tea candle heater) but I put it upside down on my butane stove. The pot heats up. Then You turn off the burner and the pot radiates heat for a quite a while.

[@robynshore7942]

Im wanting something like this. 👍

[@iamg000]

It looks like it's a catalyst heater. I think I'm going to buy one, Great find!

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

I'm excited about it, for sure.

[@annmariesikorski]

Thank You Amanda!

[@wyrdadventures]

Wow! That is an amazing product!! Hope your mom gets to travel with you!! I'd love to meet her! ❤

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

You ladies would get along well!

[@wyrdadventures]

@@AdventuringWithAmanda ❤️❤️

[@lauranewell5200]

I SO want one of those (when I get my Shell on my Truck)!! ❤ Looks like it works just like the Gas one butane Stove!😊 Thanks for Sharing!!👍

[@carriemainquist757]

Very interesting! Would buy it for the back up redundancy to my Kimbo campers propane furnace and electrical heaters. Great size. Like the case.

[@xstanadu]

Looks awesome . when my time comes to try out the Boondocking lifestyle ~ this wud be great to have . Thanks for sharing this . Be safe and hope Mr W is doing ok also 🐶😊

[@danielvillalobos9487]

Very cool.

[@frankmckinley1254]

Thanks for the information.👍

[@vanlifecrone4618]

Can you use the translate function on your phone?

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

I figured it out without instructions..🤣

[@alanshaffer6724]

Hi Amanda

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Hi Alan!

[@joycepollitt7825]

Do you work on line? I’ve watched several videos but not heard yet.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Yep.

[@kennethwilson8633]

It looks great but not as safe around pets as an electric blanket…Have fun stay safe.

[@debbief2882]

Looks like it would work well for you, but please, please, please be careful.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Always.

[@Zeldagirl64]

Interesting

[@vidaful6466]

Hi Amanda I don’t think it’s worth it in cost nor extra thing to store i just to propane stove with the attachment that covers the burner bought separately on Amazon. Thanks for the review.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Definitely your preference!

[@joanies6778]

Recently saw this on The Outdoor Gear Review channel. He also had a little heater which doubles as a stove and uses propane. I absolutely love the size! 4 hours is fantastic for one of those cannisters.

[@iamg000]

🦉🦉🤕

[@judydiekema7165]

Check out shoestring Martha. I think she demo'd this heater.

[@nancyjohnson2070]

Hi Amanda. I bought one of those electric plug heaters, 400-500 watts. I tried it using my 700 watt Bluetti and it kept shutting off. I'm in Connecticut and we can have some real chilly nights. I'll be curious to see how well it works. 😊😊

[@maddie84667]

Waiting for the next upload! 👍
