A lunch-box-sized butane heater for the campsite table. The Naturehike Mini (item CNK2300CW018) takes a standard 227 g butane cassette cartridge, which slides in from the side and is held by a magnet, and gives about 1.1 kW of radiant heat: enough for the one or two people sitting in front of it on a cold evening. The top is a small cooking surface for a kettle or pot, and the removable front shelf keeps a mug of coffee or tea warm. Piezo ignition is built into the knob, an over-pressure device shuts the gas off if the cartridge overheats, and Naturehike rates a full cartridge at about 3 hours flat out and up to 4 hours turned down. Made of 201 stainless steel and cold-rolled plate, it weighs 1.4 kg and packs in any camping bin; pull the cartridge out for transport.
Safety: outdoor and well-ventilated use only, as the label on the heater says. It uses oxygen and gives off carbon monoxide, so never run it in a closed tent, camper or vehicle, and never while sleeping.
