Anyone have any experience of opinions on this? I use to use thoes chemical hand warmers you shake up, but the past few years they have gotten smaller and last less and less. At least the ones you see at kmart, walmart, etc. I then bought one you boil and reuse, its great, but only last about an hour or less at full heat. So, saw this in the latest hunting catalog I receive and had considered a fuel powered unit would suit me better. The idea is to use this under my jacket in a chest pocket to help warm me so I do not need to dress like a mummy and stay warm all day. Being in a wheelchair when I get cold in the winter I stay cold and having to wait for a bus or attending a college isnt much warmer.
I ordered the large unit and 4 cans of fuel. The large one was on backorder. Guessing that may be a good sign of demand? No word on how many refills. Nor if I need to light it or can shut it off and re use it before the fuel runs out. I guess I could always put it in an air tight container or fill it partly with fuel. One website I read said it was flameless as the special metals in the wick and fuel made it work. My dad said his old one he had problems lighting it and it smelled. He did say it got too hot to touch, which sounds great in my opinion.
Thanks
