  • Lose no heat while heating up

Three tips for how to use heating elements

Attention: While using radiators and heat cannons, the combustion creates toxic fumes. Only set up these heating devices outdoors in tents with good ventilation!
Keep a safe distance

Be it the gas or electric version – every heating device can heat up surrounding objects and surfaces – for example: walls, ceilings or pieces of furniture. So, keep in mind to place the heating element at a safe distance from heat-sensitive materials.

Insulate the ground to conserve warmth

Your garden party takes place inside a tent and might last until the early morning hours? A simple insulation made with a tarp and some straw ensures a cosy warm atmosphere even in cool hours. The straw also absorbs moisture – another benefit especially on snowy or rainy days!

Mind the fire hazard

The gas-powered mushroom heater and the infrared radiator can pose a fire hazard in case they tip over. Make sure you place them on a firm and even surface.
