Can I use this heater indoors?

No. It is rated for outdoor use only. Burning propane without proper ventilation produces carbon monoxide, and this unit has no oxygen depletion sensor.

How long does a 20 lb. tank last?

About 29 hours on the high setting, longer on medium or low. Cold weather and a partly filled tank shorten that.

Does it come with a hose or regulator?

No hose is needed. The heater has a built-in regulator and threads directly onto the tank valve. You supply the 20 lb. tank.

Turn the knob to the light position, hold it down and apply a flame to the burner, then hold a few seconds until it stays lit. There is no push-button igniter.

How much area does it heat?

It is a radiant heater, so it warms people and objects in front of it rather than a whole space. Expect useful heat within several feet, not across a large patio.

Is it safe on a windy campsite?

The tip-over switch shuts it off if knocked, but wind can blow out the flame and make lighting harder. Place it on level ground out of the wind.

About the Mr. Heater Single Tank Top 15,000 Radiant Propane Space Heater

Heater Single Tank Top is a single-burner radiant propane space heater. It mounts directly on top of a 20 lb. propane tank, so the heater and tank move as one unit.

A regulator offers three heat settings: high at 15,000 BTU, medium at 12,500 BTU and low at 10,000 BTU. A tip-over safety shut-off switch is built in. On high, a 20 lb. tank provides approximately 29 hours of run time.

The heater is meant for outdoor use, such as job sites, campsites and tailgating events. Operation is manual and quiet.
