Now this is a heater!
By E. Smith
The triple burner Mr. Heater works wonderfully! Now this is what you call a radiant heater! Prior to purchasing Mr. Heater I was using a Bernzomatic patio heater (that cost significantly more) that didn't heat very well - I had to practically hug the Bernzomatic to feel heat. The triple burner Mr. Heater keeps me toasty warm! I love the red glow it gives off too! I installed Mr. Heater on a 40 lb. propane tank - this is just the right height to keep me warm while on my deck swing.

Mr. Heater isn't a particularly stylish unit - however, it sure does heat well!

I have a few minor criticisms; overall I'm very happy -

During my first week using Mr. Heater the burners kept shutting off - they would not stay lit for very long. I adjusted the thermocouples to position them closer to the burner and I haven't had a problem since.

Mr. Heater doesn't work very well in wind - it works fine in a breeze or a little bit of wind. I tried to use it on my deck in a storm with fairly gusty winds - not a good idea. The wind tended to cause the burner to ignite the chamber that carries the gas to the burner. If this happens - you'll know it.

It'd be really nice to have an electric ignition! The two burner model has this; however I really wanted a maximum amount of heat - I wanted the three burners.

It'd be really nice if the propane tank mounting hardware was adjustable for height. If I mounted Mr. Heater on a 20 lb. propane tank it'd simply be too short to set next my patio table or swing. If you could adjust the height a couple of feet that'd be nice - you can probably jerry rig something.

Overall, it heats great - an excellent value too, in relation to the cost of patio heaters (which is what I use this for).

******* 2//2010 Update *******
While it's been a great product the last couple years, another issue has become evident. Mr. Heater is not rust resistant! It's ru sted to the point that I can't use it anymore. I kept it in an enclosed screened in porch so it was never exposed directly to rain. However, rain that was blown in and the summer humidity has had a big impact. I've replaced Mr. Heater with another manufacture's version that doesn't rust.

Does a very good job
By Plainsman
I've had my triple Mr. Heater for one full winter (0 to 30 degree nights/days in Kansas). It does a nice job of heating my two-car garage, even with the double wide door being opened periodically. My only complaints are that one of the burners occasionally goes out (but is easily relit) and it "sings" once in a while as it heats up. Apparently the difference in metal expansion as the three burners are lit individually and warm up at a slightly different rate, causes some kind of harmonic and it "sings" until everything has warmed up completely. No big deal. If ya wanna get warm fast, this is the heater for you.

Got Heat
By jj
I use this in my shop which is not well insulated. It takes the bitter cold off and gives a warming location. Nice that you can run 1,2, or 3 burners on low, medium, or high for a variety of heat levels. Nice and solid mount on the bbq tank. Burns through the tank about as advertised, maybe 10 - 12 (guessing from limited use) hours or so on the high setting with all 3 burners on, scale down from there with the lower settings or less burners.

The only negative I see is that once you start more than one burner, and want to go to a lower number of burners running, you have to shut the whole thing down and let it cool and then light the burner(s) you want. Frankly this doesn't happen to me as I need all 3 all the time for now.
