Check the exact product listing and manual for power input, fuel, accessories, installation requirements and any advertised control features. Similar-looking models can differ.

What to check
  • Confirm the heater is intended for your use and location.
  • Compare the required power supply, startup current and compatible fuel with your setup.
  • Review the current price, included accessories and return terms.
Plan for installation
  • Fuel-burning equipment can produce dangerous carbon monoxide.
  • Follow the exact model’s exhaust and installation instructions; consult a qualified installer.
  • An independent CO alarm is an additional precaution, not a guarantee of safety.

Carbon monoxide and installation safety

Never use a portable fuel-burning heater while sleeping in an enclosed area such as a tent, camper or vehicle. Follow the exact model’s installation and venting instructions and consult a qualified installer. Use an independent battery-powered or battery-backup carbon monoxide alarm appropriate for the space, installed and tested according to its instructions. An alarm does not guarantee safety.
