Pros
- Runs from an ordinary 20 lb tank, where bigger torpedo heaters need 40 lb or more
- Shuts the gas off if the flame goes out, and cuts out if it overheats
- Quieter than a standard torpedo heater, by Mr. Heater’s claim of 50% less noise
- Comes with the 10 ft hose and regulator
Cons
- Needs a 120V outlet or generator to run its fan and igniter
- Construction heater only: not for homes or RVs, and only in well ventilated spaces
- No thermostat, so you adjust the heat by hand
