Hi Mark:
I have one also and used it for several years. It is a form of
catalytic heater, the flame heats a grid which then produces heat, it does a
good job. Pros: Compact, quick, safe, hi tech. Cons: Expensive, blackens
the shank and the grid eventually burns out. I use a charcoal grill lighter
now.
