This Does What the Heater Buddy Can't - Kovea Cupid Heater Updated Review

[@teeing9355]

Little Buddy heater is half the price and about the same BTUs as this, and it uses Propane. Butane gas won't work at temperatures below 29F degrees, whereas a 1lb Propane tank will still vaporize enough to run a heater down to around 0 or lower. Plus, the Little Buddie has a C02 shut off that works, which could save your life.

[@stacky512a]

agreed

[@male42nfree]

I own the large Mr. Buddy and the Cupid heater. While you are right on your other points, even the little Buddy puts more heat that the Cupid does. While that Buddy heater is most comparable to the Cupid in term of heat output, I feel it is not safe to use in a tent or most confined spaces as it stands vertically atop a standard propane cylinder and is easily toppled compared to the Cupid heater imho. What is not mentioned in the review is the moisture created by burning either propane or butane in either a Mr. Buddy of the Cupid. I camp in a 6x8 square-drop trailer and on cold days the moisture really adds up. For that reason, I bought a Camco Olympian Wave 3 Catalytic Safety Heater for my square-drop. While expensive, the Wave 3 it is the "Cadillac" of smaller propane heaters. Low emissions, low moisture creation, and it literally sips propane. However, it is not a "portable" heater as it cannt run off small 1lbs propane cylinders like the Mr. Buddy heaters or the small butane cans like the Cupid. It requires at least an external 5lbs propane tank and hose.

[@EZYak-uc7ng]

I use this heater for the exact reason you mention, My Buddy heater put out too much heat and I was continually turning it on and off. I am satisfied with it. It was easy to find a plastic container to replace the case and also had room for the CO detector, canister of butane, and small fan. If you use a small fan behind it will be more efficient, the heat otherwise goes straight up.

[@melkerryberg]

Hi there. I’m from Sweden and have this Kovea heater about 2 years now. I use if I’m note”Hot tenting” and it’s excellent. Worked without issues way below freezing point. Can just agree and recommend this heater 😊

[@hakankillberg6043]

Hello as a swede too i wonder where you buy the butan in sweden? Maybe i dont look for them as much or are butan canister hard to find?

The guy who started the company Kovea liked Svea (Sweden compnay) stove so much he decided to make one good as one made by Svea. Hence he named the company as Kovea (Korean-Svea). It's fun to find out how Kovea made to Sweden where it all started.

This is the perfect solution for what I’ve been looking for for years. Even the small little buddy gets way too hot in my tent, and I have to play the on again off again thing all night long. Plus, I’m older and have arthritis in my thumbs, and turning on and off, the little buddy was very difficult almost impossible for me. I’m hoping this one will be much easier to fire up as it looks like it will be. Thank you for this review, I had no idea about this brand of heater.

Buddy Heater works great for small spaces when you leave the flame on -pilot-. Not only does it work well, pilot uses a lot less fuel than the other settings. Plus, I like all those safety features you mentioned.

Thank you Luke for the short and realistic review of this little heater.

[@draydyoc857]

Hey, just saw your reviews for this.For those considering one they are great.The vapor and fireballs described in a prior vid from this channel can* happen,but is unlikely.From my understanding once in a great while you can get a defective butane canister.Typically in this instance the defect will be at the nozzle connective portion of the canister and it will get stuck open or closed. In this instance stuck open thereby flooding the kovea with butane.If it does have no fear.Just detach that canister and safely burn off the excess fuel trapped in there and attach another.This has* also happend to me once in my 6 yrs of using one of these.However I've prob put several hundred of these canisters thru this little stove and no probs otherwise.I use mine with my laavu tent alot.Anyway these are great. You might get a bad butane canister every now and than.Don't let it ruin the heater for you.

[@rtmadani]

I've been using the Kovea Cupid for a couple years now and love it! Heats up our tents fast and is pretty efficient.

[@KnittedSchnauzer]

I just returned from a trip to eastern Nevada. The little Cupid kept the cold at bay in my truck camper (cloth walls) in 30 degree weather. I didn't get hot, but it kept me from feeling cold. A butane cannister seemed to last about 4 hours, but didn't really test it. It started every time and ran perfectly. I should add that I also had a CO detector in my setup.

[@SheldonRobert-x8o]

I do not use butane at all. But thanks for the review. Sticking with my Little Buddy and Mr 20lb+/- propane.

[@missyoubeth]

Bought one right after seeing your review on an older video. I love this product. It really helped me and a friend stay warm overnight at his small cottage when there was no electricity for heat.

[@leegrass6954]

I just got my cupid out of the case- i’ve been afraid to try to start it having to do it in the house near an open window. But thanks to your video I was able to ignite it for the first time. I was worried about using it in a small teardrop trailer but with the window partly open, and a safe place to sit it, I think it’ll be just fine. It seems to be the perfect size. I also discovered that is interchangeable with gas one canisters or Coleman. I have two small Electric heaters that heat the space nicely but they use so much power from my Jackery. So this little butane heater is the perfect solution!

[@HighlanderMikeGolf]

Amazon says unavailable already. eBay has them for $75. Just ordered one. Fuel consumption/price of butane vs propane are great selling points. Thanks, Luke!

I was subbed to you long ago but got out of the camping habit so most lost me as a subscriber. I am back into the habit and once again a subscriber. I have camping stoves that use that type of butane can and always thought about a heater that could use it also. Will invest in the Kovea Cupid. Now with that said…if you can find an Asian market near you the butane comes in a 4 pack for around $5. So you can get 12 cans for half of what you pay, $15. Great review and very much appreciated.

[@DoyleShadduck]

The little buddy heater is twice as big, runs on propane tanks that can be refilled dirt cheap from a twenty pound cylinder ( currently costs about $17 dollars per refill a 20 lb cylinder) has a run time of 5-6 hours per 1 lb tank. It’s the most economical way to heat by far.

[@davidmorgan2815]

This fits perfectly in the Apache 2800 case from HF. If you take the padding out, you can fit 4 cans of fuel.

[@savagebushranger7953]

Glad I got the Kovea Cubic instead. Excellent build quality, stable and you can even cook on top.

I drove a truck over the road for 20 yrs, and I still have my one burner stove in a cheap case like that, it uses the same cans of fuel, I use to wait and go thru Quartsite, AZ. And at the flea market I could buy that fuel, for $1.00 a can, and I would buy a case of 12, and buy 2 cases at a time, I would get about 5 days of making morning coffee and cooking a meal at night on it, I loved that stove, I had that trouble a few times, I found that it was the metal tube, had a bend-/-like a dent and it wouldn’t seat right in the valve, and the compressed gas would seep out, it can be a Very Dangerous thing in a confined space, I never really worried about it. More than a few times, I had it on a ps of plywood strapped down in the passenger seat and with a marshmallow fork, I would roast hotdogs while setting in traffic- haha- windows down, and someone would come on the CB, I swear I smell Hotdogs, I would pick up the Mic and say You do, lol those were some good times, anyway, I Love that little Heater. That’s Cool. $90.00 sounds alittle steep. But in today’s time, it sounds about right.

I purchased this same stove last winter to go into my enclosed trailer for camping purposes. It worked okay. It took the chill out of the air. The temperature was 4 degrees F outside.

[@bboo_x]

Some of the additional information. The heater’s official spec states it consumes 71g/h gas (standard butane canister have 220g). It has auto shut off when the regulator senses increase of pressure from the canister (and you need to press reset button at the regulator head when it set off. No gas sensor, no tipping sensor etc.). It has built in heat conductive bracket to keep the butane canister operable below freezing point (Korea’s winter can go down 5f easily), thus it still works well in freaking cold condition, prob. down to freezing point. This is designed as an auxiliary device and never intended to use as main heating source (e.g foot heater along with main heating element)

Been thinking about getting a diesel heater for my wall tent that I’m living in. You can get super efficient and quiet ones for around $300. Saw a review of one that got 50 hours on low out of one tank of fuel. I think it has a 2 gallon tank, maybe 2.5. At under $5 a gallon that’s fairly cheap. They produce a dry heat which is preferable to the propane heaters. Kerosene is more expensive and less efficient than diesel and also produces moisture.

[@jimvick8397]

You talked me into getting one... A buddy heater with a propane canister is 9lbs... The Cupid heater with a butane canister is 4lbs and half the size of a Buddy heater... There are times when I'm out in the backcountry winter fishing, climbing, or whatever and I become desperate to get my hands warmed again (I'm real tall and when the hands/feet get cold they stay cold for awhile)... And while the buddy heater is well suited for a Gorilla Cart trip or Sled haul in trip, it takes up way too much room in a backpack to haul in... The beauty of this little heater is when I set up for winter fishing, I wear a Boreal Mountain Wool Anorak with a Boreal Mountain Anorak Titan Poncho. If I put this little heater under my fishing chair, I can capture a majority of the heat with my poncho... Without the risk of catching my Poncho on fire and burning me alive... Based on what you had to say about the Cupid heaters plastic case, I will be sure to reinforce it with some Gorilla Tape from the get go, to try and extend its inevitably rough life to come... Anyhow great review...

[@jettschenker]

Kovea also makes another butane model: KGH-2010. It's slightly larger and you can use it like a stove as well due to the design of the KGH-2010. Best price is on ebay for about $85.00 USD including shipping from Korea.

[@restonthewind]

I used the Kovea Cupid for the first time this weekend. In my small tent, a OneTigris Stella, even on the lowest setting, I turned the heater off after two or three minutes because the tent was becoming too warm. The temperature was in the forties, dropping into the thirties overnight but never below freezing, but lows in the thirties are very cold for me. I have little experience with winter camping, but I will brave the cold this winter to gain some experience. I have this channel to thank for all of my winter gear except my sleeping bag. I learned this weekend that I also need a warmer sleeping pad, so I ordered the military Thermarest that you reviewed. I have a very good, down sleeping bag and a pad (Gear Doctors Apollo Air) that claims an R value of 5, but some KZbinrs say that the R value of the pad is not accurate, and my back felt cool during the night. It wasn't uncomfortably cold, but my back wasn't warm, and I might have been cold if the temperature had been lower. Turning on the Kovea Cupid warmed up the tent quickly, but I couldn't leave it on both because the tent became too warm and because I left my CO monitor at home.

Other than that, and used with caution, it's perfect for small spaces

[@powderriver2424]

I've found it very interesting how these butane stoves and heaters found their way to the U.S. over the last decade or so.

[@harrymills2770]

Up in the mountains, above 7,000 feet, all of these heaters have a tendency to shut themselves off because the O2 sensor confuses thin air with actual fumes. The problem with butane is it might not work when you need it the most, at 30 or 40 below. My emergency heater when I lived in Colorado, was a couple of 1-pound coffee cans with a roll of toilet paper stuffed in them and then all or most of a bottle of isopropyl alcohol. Drop a match in that, and it'll burn about 8 hours. I got it in case I got stuck in my truck in winter. But if I were tent camping out of my truck in the spring or fall, it seems about the perfect size for warming up a vestibule on a tent. Pretty small little package for two or three nights' worth of comfort when the frost is on its way or slow in departing.

Bought one of those for its size. The output is perfect for a tent or small camper. The butane can be an issue when it gets too cold, but I have this as well as a duel fuel (butane/propane) Gas 1 stove. If you’re camping or hunting in cold weather, below freezing, I just stick a can of fuel in the sleeping bag or in my jacket overnight so I have a somewhat warm can of fuel to swap out. And as far as fuel efficiency, it’s a smaller can of fuel, it’s less expensive than propane, and it lasts the same length of time my 1 lb Buddy Heater.

[@drunkchicken8636]

you can buy a 4 pack of green propane bottles for under $20. also I have the hose that can hookup the bbq size propane bottle, to my little buddy. My little buddy costs 90 bucks 10 years ago. Still works great. But I do like this guy testing all the stuff for us. And I don't know why it would be any different in btu's since the brick heating core is that same size on both heaters, right or no?

[@visamedic]

@ I have both. My Buddy heater will go 3-4 1/2 hrs on a 1lb propane can. Yes you can get those in 2 and 4 packs. I think Walmart had 4 packs for between $20-25. And I refill my 1 pounders too. At that cost it’ll run me between $25-30 for a 5 gal tank and that’ll do about 15-18 1 lb cans. A Cupid will run the same length of time with a standard butane bottle. I can get those in a 6 pack at RN Market for under $10 (I think I paid $7 last time in). Every time I go for in for a few tri tips I pick up a pack or two. So for their size and output it works out cheaper and more convenient to use when I camp in a tent or camper. And considering the size of each, and the output I need to stay warm in a tent or camper, I can store more of the butane canisters than the propane. Im no treehugger but I hate the waste though. I can’t refill the butane so you’re throwing a lot of one use cans away.

Thank you! This sounds like a good choice for a canister powered heater. The major problem with this sort of heater is the recycling and weight issue. If we rely on either a butane or propane heater for extended winter camping, we first have to store and carry all those cylinders, then find a way to properly recycle the empties, not a particularly environmentally friendly solution to staying warm at base camp. (Plus I hate stumbling across empty cylinders thoughtlessly left behind by inconsiderate "campers" - along with the crumpled beer cans...). I still miss my Coleman catalytic heater that ran on liquid Coleman fuel or white gas - cheap, reliable, efficient heat for winter base camps when dry wood was not available.

With winter approaching, I have been on the hunt for different heaters for my adventure truck with ARE aluminum Shell. Buddy heater too much. I'm using Flame King refillable propane cylinders. Because I have limited space in my truck setup I've tried to stick to that as a primary fuel source. Iv'e used Coleman Blackcat 3000 BTU non adjustable (too much) coleman survivalcat 800BTU (not enough) and the Coleman Sportscat 1500BTU (barly enough to raise temp 1 degree every few minutes. The compact Sportscat catalytic heater paired with a half pound refillable propane cylinder equals about 6-7 hours of burn time, and with the smaller cylinder it is short enough to sit on my bed. The Aluminum shell can sure suck the heat out. I may give the cupid heater a try because it is adjustable with a low profile, and maybe use it in combination with the Sportscat Thank you, Roger

[@hunteralbers1449]

You sold me on this i ordered one for my camper

"...little farting sound..." 😂😂😂 2:11 Along those lines - make sure that you always allow some ventilation whenever using anything that produces flammable gases! 😏

You cant see the flame in the sunlite, find a darker area. Thanx. Btw I can get 12 cans of that butane from Amazon for 21.00, not bad.

Hopefully one day someone will come out with a small propane model that will work with the adaptor hose and larger tanks. 8 hours of sleep time would be nice in a van or the back of a pick up with a carpeted topper.

Nice option, but I will stick with my Diesel ⛽️ Heater (the one that comes in a toolbox) I tent camp in the Orygun Coast Mountain Range ⛰️ for weeks at a time... thanks for the review. But I couldn't afford the cans of butane, and short runtime. Could you test the Heat Hog LP heater ?

Great video, thanks 👍

~It would be great if Kovea upgraded the size and quality of the carrying case to also include space for a couple of cans of fuel in the carrying case as well.

Ps put a wave pattern in the clip don't go mad it's to help it stay in place

[@chuchukabra]

Hey hey! Thanks, man. I was looking for something of the like for my shack in the forest as an extra in case I run out of wood or, you know, an extra. At 1st I couldn't get it of Ama*on in Canada and then a couple of days later, I could, with an additional but minimal duty fee🎉 . So yeah, thanks for the discovery.

I like everything about this but when I heard that even on low you have to get up in the middle of the night to change out fuel canisters, it was a no-go for me.

Good afternoon from Syracuse NY brother and thank you for sharing

[@jcmilleker5449]

Surprised you didn't test the alleged safety features more. Tilt it, does it shut off?

[@jimmiejammin808]

Overheated can will make pressure more then about 35psi and shitoff, press pin on Mount ring reaching finger through hole in top, words may warn of residual heat and need to open valve to allow pressure to escape when pressing pin.

[@elkhuntr2816]

Would you consider packing this when backpacking? Seems a bit heavy compared to the fire maple sun flower. Does the company say its safe inside a tent? Looks identical ceramic heater as the sun flower. Someone needs to make a tent safe backpacking heater!

I agree! I love mine! Thanks for all your videos, we all appreciate you and your efforts creating these videos Luke! 🙏🏽🫵🏽🙌🏽
