Review on Texsport Sportsmate Portable Propane Heater for Efficient Outdoor Heating by Jesus Jenkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exactly as advertised for outdoor recreation

Easy to use, reliable, swallows propane, emits comfortable directional heat. Will not be easy to blow or break when moving. For those who say the detonator doesn't work - this is not a detonator! This is a thermal sensor that heats and maintains the gas supply; You have to press it for about 30 seconds until it gets warm, and then the device will burn. Light with a lighter (preferably a long lighter). I've tried many others and this one can't be beat for simplicity, ease of use, reliability and price. No frills - it's a controlled open flame, folks. Nothing more. Not less. You will not be disappointed. Will be buying 4 more as gifts for friends who like to camp in colder weather. It's just what the doctor ordered on a cold morning to toast your hands and face, or if you prefer to get your legs up and warm. Can write that they use it indoors; is never a good idea for a propane unit. If you eat from it (which I don't recommend), at least get a cheap carbon monoxide detector and keep it nearby. Odorless and color killer.

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
