Glenn - Halls Head, WA(2 years ago)
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.

Gas usage1 answer
The 227gram gas usage you claim is this on setting 3 or setting 1
Douglas - Worrigee, NSW(2 years ago)
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.

Regulator indicator1 answer
Hi there, Does the regulator have indicator for how much gas is left in bottle?
Ron - Homebush, NSW(3 years ago)
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.

Coleman propane single use gas bottle1 answer
Hi team Can you use a Coleman propane single use gas bottle with this heater? If yes what adaptor do I require to do so. Thanks
Brent - Tahmoor, NSW(3 years ago)
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.

Bottom heat?1 answer
I am wondering if this is ok to sit this unit directly onto Astroturf which is often found at campsites? I want to make sure it won't melt or burn it. Thanks.
Paul - Sydney, NSW(4 years ago)
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.

Helena - Melton South, VIC(4 years ago)
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.

Transport Carry Bag1 answer
I like the looks and output of this more than the Mr. Buddy, but being metal with a painted finish, it would scratch very easily in transport without a suitable carry/protective bag. Is there such a bag available for the unit as an option, or do you stock something suitable for it please? Many thanks :-)
John - Carnegie VIC(4 years ago)
G'day John,
Unfortunately, we don't have any bags that are designed to fit this heater.

Patio heater?1 answer
Hi there, I have a 12m² apartment balcony (open front & one side so plenty of ventilation) and I'm tossing up between this and a short patio gas heater. I'd rather this as I can take it camping too and pack it away in summer. My question is, would it heat as well (or close)? I see one review said the lady uses it for that and it's as good as her patio heater but I'm skeptical. Thanking you in advance.
Virginia - Fortitude Valley(5 years ago)
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
Alexandra - Snowys(5 years ago)

Where can you get replacement ceramics for the heater?? Can’t seem to find??😊
Tony - Gorokan (5 years ago)
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 :)
Alexandra - Snowys(5 years ago)

Hi. Is it safe to wall mount this heater?1 answer
I have a small workshop and don't want a heater on the floor. I have no problem with the air being refreshed.
Tim - Macclesfield(6 years ago)
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.

Use with smaller gas cylinders?1 answer
Does this unit run on the small 3kg gas cylinders with a 3/8" fitting? Or will that require a conversion?
Chris - Adelaide(8 years ago)
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.

I am looking to use in garage - is drafty can I use it there1 answer
judi - NEWHAVEN, VIC(8 years ago)
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

can i use this product inside rv motor home or caravan1 answer
Troy - MARKS POINT, NSW(8 years ago)
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
