Lixada Multi-Fuel Heater: Don't Want To Mess With A Hot Tent?

If the idea of a Hot Tent setup is a little too much for you but you still want to do some cold weather camping without freezing, consider taking a lightweight LPG heater.
I was skeptical about these things and couldn't find any good reviews so I got one and tried it out.
We did use this on a backpacking trip and it did awesome! It made about a 30° difference in our Trekker 2.2 and kept it there for 7 hours!

Great review! Even though I have a buddy heater and use a propane tank, I was watching for something a little easier to use for a specific reason I have in mind, so thanks.

Ya we use the buddy heater for car camping but this is great for backpacking. Very lightweight and not too bulky!!

What a great little heater, nice video!

It's pretty cool! Gotta mind condensation in the cold but it's pretty handy to have a little heat!

You are pro on these reviews. Never heard of hot tents before. This is a good alternative. The not dying test is pretty critical. The comparison tests are my favorite. I have to find out what happens. We are finally back from our trip.

Hot Tents are great in concept. Super cozy! Just a lot of work, alot of weight and alot of money 💰 Welcome back!! Can't wait to see all the content!! Did you have to take 100 sd cards for all the footage!?

@SantosChronicles Жыл бұрын

@@DMSAdventures I had a lot of SD card and I also took my 5 TB Lacie and transferred all the videos each day. I was so scared that I an SD card would get corrupt and lose the video. Which has happened before. Now time to go through all the footage.

Nice review, never thought of a multi-fuel one. We've used ones that screw onto the 1lb propane tanks to take the edge off and defrost the seat in the hunting camp outhouse on the cold mornings.

I love the lighter weight of the butane canisters. They seem to run better/ longer. For below 32 degrees we rubber banded hot hands around it. Keeps it working through cold nights. 🥶

Great video by the way. You at least mentioned a wall tent. Here’s to hoping you’ll review one sooner than later. Lol

Haha thanks! If i could just get a company to send me one I'd be happy to give it a look!!

Awesome review and little heater. No carbon monoxide was awesome. Is that mix the same type you'd use on your cook stove? I guess it is cause you said so too. Awesome way to stay warmer in the winter.

@DMSAdventures Жыл бұрын

Ya it can use either fuel source which is handy. We've used it on 2 backpacking trips and it works great!!

Really good review. Is the front facing butane canister design a concern?

@DMSAdventures Жыл бұрын

Hey John! No i don't think so. The heat goes out and up. It's very stable when the cannister is on.

@BrianWest58 Жыл бұрын

So what about cost per canister for the output/runtime?

@DMSAdventures Жыл бұрын

I think the butane canisters are a little over $3 and I've gotten heat out of it for up to 8 hours. So just say 6 hours with a little elevated heat Level and call it about 50 cents per hour.

Serious question. Could you cook with it? I’ve seen folks using Mr heater buddy heater to cook with.

@DMSAdventures Жыл бұрын

I mean... there's always a way! 😉 The grill does look like...well... a grill!! Not sure that you could lay it on its back in a stable way. I haven't had it on full yet to see how hot it really gets. So long story short... im not sure! Great question and I'll see if it's possible In the future!

@jaredanderson7494 10 ай бұрын

I see the issue being no thermal mass, also the possibility of this falling over vs a stove is far higher, wouldnt end well. Many will be temtped to use one in a single line tent, would cause moisture issues in cool weather.

@DMSAdventures 10 ай бұрын

All valid concerns. It doesn't kick out alot of heat but it does take the edge off. I feel it is very stable when using a long butane cannister. Not as stable with an isobutane canister. I noticed elevated condensation even with a double wall tent. Everything has its pros and cons!
