Companion Portable LP Gas Camp Heater

G'day Glenn,

Unfortunately not, Australian Gas Association standards have recently changed, so this heater can only be used with the hose provided, attached directly to a POL gas bottle.

G'day Douglas,

The gas consumption information is provided by the manufacturer, which we just highlight.  Unfortunately, there's no further specifics on what setting this has been measured at.  I'd probably take a guess that this is a maximum consumption.

G'day Vasko,

Unfortunately the Mr Heaters are no longer available in Australia, so we're not able able to help out on this occasion.

G'day Ron,

No, the regulator isn't able to tell you how much gas is left in the bottle. If you're wanting something that can show you this, we'd recommend checking out the Gas Safety Valve & Gauge.

G'day Brent,

No, you won't be able to run this heater from a single-use Coleman Propane cylinder. If you're after a heater that will do this we'd recommend checking out the Portable Propane Heater.

G'day Paul,

The base, sides and back of the heater unit will stay cool enough to touch, so you won't have any troubles using the unit on astroturf found at some campsites.

G'day Helena,

Sorry to hear you're having some trouble with your heater, usually 10-15 seconds should do the trick, but if you've given it a few tries and it is still going out then we'd recommend contacting Companion Customer Service on 1300 555 197, they should be able to troubleshoot with you over the phone.

G'day Patrick,

It sounds like something might not be quite right there, best bet will be to jump onto our warranty claims page and our warranty team will be able to have a look and advise you what to do.

G'day John,

Unfortunately, we don't have any bags that are designed to fit this heater.

G'day Virginia,

The Portable LP Gas Camp Heater actualy has a pretty decent output for its compact size but whether that is going to provide enough warmth for your personal needs really comes down to how much you feel the cold and of course, how cold it actually is.  It's not designed to project heat far and wide, therefore is unlikely to make your entire balcony cozy but is certainly good enough for personal use, and as you say, it does have the added versatility of being portable :) How it compares with a short patio gas heater..?  That's a tricky one to offer a direct answer on as we don't stock those types of heaters so are unable to test them out.  Cheers

G'day Trevor,

I've just measured this for you now, the unit is 41cm high with the handle up, and 37.5cm high with the handle down.

G'day Tony,

Unfortunately mate, we're not going to be able to help you out on this one as we don't recommend replacing these parts yourself.  We suggest getting in touch with an authorised gas technician who has the licence and experience to safely point you in the right direction.  Good luck :)

G'day Adam,

The Portable LP Gas Heater is supplied with a 1500mm long hose that has an inline regulator. They have a POL fitting on the end so will fit your BBQ style 4kg or 9kg bottle that you can pick up online.

G'day Tim,

There are 3 slots on the back of the Companion Portable LP Gas Camp Heater so that it can be mounted on a wall if you wanted to do that. 

G'day Chris, 

You sure can use this with smaller gas cylinders, you'll just need the right adaptor. This one from Gasmate will do the trick nicely. 

G'day Judi - Use of gas heaters in any sort of closed or semi-enclosed space is always at the user's discretion. If you feel the air is being refreshed at a rate much higher than that of carbon monoxide being produced, you may choose to use it in your space. But always err on the side of caution. Did you see our recent blog, "Can You Use a Gas Heater in a Tent?" If not, click on the 'Read the Snowys blog here' link at the top right of this page, it'll be the latest post. Hope that helps. Cheers, Paul

G'day Troy - Nooooo! These heaters are designed for use in spaces that have top notch ventilation, such as an awning, under a gazebo, or out in the open. Use one of these in an enclosed space, and you're putting your life at risk. Sorry to come across so sombre, I just want to drive the point home. Only use a suitable electric heater in your RV or caravan, or invest in a great quilt or sleeping bag. Hope that helps. Cheers, Paul
