Greetings!
I’ve actually got quite a collection of them because I am sometimes in really cold weather. My biggest heater is a 23k BTU Sears heater, my smaller one is a Bunsen Sports heater/cooker, then I have two single burner butterfly brand sock wick stoves to cook on. I also have 2 Walmart kerosene lanterns ($6.95 ea.) that I also love.
Except for the Walmart lanterns, I bought all of them used and cheap. For most people the big heater on the left would be over kill, but it has hit -57f up here this year, and I like staying warm. I actually run the small one to maintain the temperature once it get’s comfortable inside, but it takes a very long time to warm it up if it’s really cold, and that’s where the bigger heater comes into play, it will raise the temperature much faster.
On a chilly summer night when campfires are banned, or I just don’t want to mess with a fire, I can take the big one outside and it will nicely warm the area I’m sitting in. I have an EZ-UP type awning with the tent attachment, that I sometimes set up if I’m boondocking, and since everything is portable, I can move my whole kitchen, heating and/or cooling, lights, and everything out into the tent, and totally self sufficient with no power needed. My power system is also portable though, so I can have power whenever and wherever I want it. If the need arises, my entire camper interior is portable and can be moved into the tent with room to spare. (I sometimes do this if somebody needs help moving or something…)
Here’s some pictures of my kerosene heaters, cookers, and lanterns.
Cheers!
