Hi everyone. It's Evangeline here at etrailer and today we'll be taking a look at our Coghlan's Camp Heat. So this canister is 6.4 ounces, and you do get a set of two, which is good because you do get a burn time of about four hours per canister, which isn't that much if you're planning on doing a lot of cooking, but if you're just using this for emergencies, especially with the Coghlan's folding stove which we have here, it's going to work out just to heat something up real quick for when you need it, eat it. This, then comes sealed with this cap over here, and this is going to be a threaded cap. So you just rotated it to open it. Now, since this is liquid fuel, just be careful about handling it.

And especially when you open the cap, try to make sure none of that liquid gets onto your hands. So this is going to be your factory wick which is, this is what you're going to get once you receive the canister. Now, if you need more flame, you may need to spread this wick out or raise it higher. That will increase your heat output. It will burn up your fuel a bit faster, of course, but you do get some adjustability.

Make sure you do this before you light it though and not while it's on fire. And once you're done with it, even if it is burning, you extinguish it by just putting this tap on top of it, that will extinguish the flame. And then when you're ready to store it, just screw that cap right over it. Make sure it's tight and then you can store it. So we're going to try this camp heat canister out.

So I'll just unscrew this cap. We have our wick, you can also use a match or in my case, I'm going to use a lighter just because it's quicker and easier that way. And then we'll light this. Once it's lit you will not see a visible flame, but you will feel some heat. So it's been about five seconds.

We're just gonna lift this up and slide it into our stove. This is mainly odorless and non-toxic, you can see a slight flame as it is in the stove. Even in our windy day, we still have some heat output on it, which will increase especially once you have your grill, your skillet, your pan, like we have here. Once I put it on top of it, it'll start to heat up. And since it is odorless and non-toxic fumes, you can technically use this indoors according to Coghland's. Again, I recommend using this in a well ventilated area. So I just put this pan on top and I'll start a timer just to see how long it takes to heat our pan up. So it's been two and a half minutes. I do feel the stove heat up. Not that you can't touch it. It's not that hot, but it's definitely warm. As for a pan, it is on the warmer side, but not yet enough where we can cook an egg. So let's wait a little bit longer. It's nice to see that even though it's really windy out here, I can still feel the pan heat up with the way our stove is designed to enclose our fuel canister. Even with the pan out of the way, our fuel is still burning. So that's nice to see because then I want to make sure it works in whatever situation I'm in. So it's been seven and a half minutes, and I realized that maybe our household pan is a little too thick for this application. It is nice to see that the heat output is really strong right over here. And the stove itself is warming up. But our pan, not as much, I do recommend using this with camping pans that are a little bit thinner, especially ones from Coghlan's or GSI Outdoors. They have some great options for you. And from my experience, they heat up a lot faster than a household pan like mine would. Now it's been 10 minutes and our pan is hot now. So I think we're ready to crack this egg on it and see how well it cooks. So we're at 650 feet of altitude and it is taking a while for our eggs to start cooking. I know someone who was at a around 1,100 feet of altitude and took 30 minutes for him to get a boil. While someone at 5,000 feet of altitude only took 10 minutes to get a roiling boil. So depending on your situation or where you are, we'll help you decide on what kind of stove you need or will work for you. So with our egg right here, it has been about 15 minutes and our egg hasn't fried or cooked. So again, depending on where you are and what your weather condition is, this may or may not happen. So my final thoughts about the camp heat canister from Coghlan's is that it's definitely a canister designed for emergency purposes. If you have the camping gear, that's necessary to be used with this, let's say those pans from GSI outdoors, or from Coghlan's, those work really well with this
