Is there a space heater that works off both propane and electricity?

I'm looking for a space heater that I can use to take camping and heat the tent for the wife and kid. I'd also like to use it in the basement in the winter as supplemental heat, but don't want to constantly burning through propane.

Has anyone ever seen a space heater that can work on propane OR electricity? If so, anyone seen any deals?

sounds dangerous, i don't know why. i've seen the propane camping ones, those would've been great for indoors during the snowmageddon a few years back when a lot lost electricity.

i haven't heard of a combo like this, sorry. but "don't stop believin"

I'm going to take a guess and say no.

The reason is this would require two different heaters to be in one package. I would imagine it'd be cheaper to just make two heaters. Electric heaters are just (essentially) joule heating elements like your toaster. Propane/gas/etc heaters generate the heat by burning the gas. The only part of the heater that might be common would be a blower.

Although I would imagine it'd be possible to make a gas heater that uses the expanding gas to run the blower as well as heat...

We have a kerosene torpedo heater that uses an electric blower though so I'm not positive.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
