Portable heating
 

Needs must.

Can anyone recommend a good portable heating device.

I am thinking a portable gas heater, seen this one in Argos.

Buy DeLonghi Portable Gas Heater. at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for .

Anyone know where I would get a gas bottle from locally?

Does anyone use one of these type of heaters and can tell me how long a bottle usually on average lasts and how much they are?

TIA

Or better still anyone got one for sale.

home base have the gas bottles... you pay more at first for the bottle then its not so bad for a replacement one:

Try Accy Gas 0800 0855435

Personally I don't really like burning gas inside with all the fumes staying inside. The machine will instruct you to make sure you have the correct ventilation in the room. I bet not many leave the window open while they have those gas heaters on.

Cliff Crooks in blackburn deliver gas bottles too they deal with homeheat gas - quite popular & recommended 01254 50189:D

I used to work in the gas bottle & heater industry & they are safe as long as u dont put anything near the heaters whilst on, they need plenty of ventilation, have purchased a new heater or least had it checked out which the above can do for u otherwise i wouldn't recommend u use it certainly without having the heater checked or profesionally cleaned out for you - the flame from the jet should not be a yellow colour nor an enlarged flame - thats a warning sign its not right - it should be blue colour & small from the jet inlets below the tiles. Best bet is to stick to getting a brand new one [least u have guarentee on it] or a recon one from a reputable gas bottle/heater retail outfit, also no harm in purchasing a carbon monoxide indicator/alarm just to be extra safe.

Oil filled radiators are a safe option, no fumes, they stay warm for ages and have thermostats built in.

You can normally get them for ~£30-40
