If you're a seasoned camper, like the odd camping get away, or
even just dabble in some angling now and again, then the Topflame
Portable Butane Gas Heater could make your trips a whole lot
better. With its small size and carry handle it is a welcome
addition to the essential kit carried by anyone who likes outdoor
adventures.
Sizing up at 26.5cm x 26.5 cm x 19cm and weighing just 3 kg it
won't intrude too much on your experience and the benefits that it
gives far outweigh the slight annoyance of having to carry it.
It has a maximum power output at full temperature of 1.15 kW and
has adjustable heat control and heat output angles. So no matter if
you're standing or sitting you always have full control of the
amount of heat and where it is directed. The piezo ignition system
means that it is very easy to light, one click and it will start
right away. The highly efficient ceramic heating element also means
that you will get as much heat from your gas as possible. It
provides up to two and a half hours of heat from each gas canister
at full power, meaning that if you leave it at anything lower than
full power the total heating time you get from it will only
increase. Some people have reported that the heater can 'spit
flames', but this is most likely due to it being mistreated and not
taken care of, and as a result of this a gas leak has occurred. If
you take care of this product, as with anything it will do its job
well and you will have no bother with it. Another slight downside
is that the gas is not included, but what can you expect for the
low price of £10.99, a saving of 73% off the original price of
£39.99.
On Amazon.co.uk the heater receives a 4 out of 5 star rating
with the majority of the customer reviews being 5 stars, only a few
gave lesser reviews for the before mentioned 'flame spitting' which
as I have said is most likely their fault. So If you're tired of
going on cold wet camping trips then this may just be your saviour,
it will keep you warm, dry and most of all it will allow you to
enjoy your outdoor experience to its fullest.
