Camping Heaters
When you camp outside things can get damp in the night time, one solution is a camping heater. Camping heaters come in all shapes and sizes, you can get small camping heaters that give 7,000 to 11,000 BTUs up to and beyond 60,000 to 80,000 BTUs. You can get standing heaters that give off an 18 foot radius heat wave. There are heaters that run on propane, camping fuel and unleaded gas – always be sure to use the recommended fuel for your camping heater.
Some camping heaters have a regulator valve for efficient fuel flow in cold weather and at high altitude. Camping heaters can come with a multi-screen design which makes the heater windproof.
You should always look for a safety shutoff valve that automatically cuts gas flow if burner is accidentally put out, dropped or knocked over.
You can expect to pay anywhere from 15.00 to 150.00 for a camping heater.
Things to look for when buying a Camping Heater are:
- BTUs
