BlazOn EMBER: Self-Powered Forced-Air Propane Heater | Fan Powered By Heat

The world's first portable propane heater with a self-powered fan. An integrated thermoelectric generator converts excess heat into electricity, driving a whisper-quiet fan with 8-ft range. You feel 100% of the heat produced—making this 18K BTU heater perform like a 30K BTU unit. CSA-certified for indoor use, built for outdoor adventures. No batteries. No cords. No compromises. Engineered for those who demand warmth, style, and reliability—anywhere, anytime.

Design Forward

The EMBER is built to be seen as much as felt. A blue flame burns behind Fireglass—a clean, contained ring of light that throws a soft ambient glow without an open flame. The effect is fireside warmth in a form that belongs on a design-forward patio or inside a modern living space. Clean lines, a low monolithic profile, and a matte finish replace the bulk and sprawl of the typical mushroom heater. A protective grill guards the Fireglass and is safe to touch, while the flame stays fully sealed—so the only thing that reaches the room is light and heat. It's the glow of a fire, the silhouette of a considered object.

  • Midcentury Modern

    EMBER takes its cues from the golden age of design: clean geometry, honest materials, and the belief that everyday objects deserve to be beautiful. Form meets funtion with design intent.

  • The Glow of a Blue Flame

    At the heart of EMBER is a blue flame, sealed behind Fireglass and lit from within. It burns clean and steady—a ring of cool, blue that throws a soft, glow across a deck or a room.

  • Premium Materials

    EMBER is shaped from a single die-cast aluminum shell, finished in a premium powdercoat that lays down a deep, velvet-matte finish with no shine, no glare, just classy elegance.

    • 18K BTU Propane

      The EMBER is rated at 18,000 BTU—but it feels far hotter than that suggests. BTU only measures how much heat a unit makes, not how much reaches you. Most heaters let their warmth drift away before you feel it.

    • Forced-Air

      The EMBER's forced-air system pushes 100% of its heat forward—up to 8 feet—so every bit reaches you instead of drifting away. And a whisper-quiet fan does it all without the buzz so sit back and enjoy the conversation.

    • Off-Grid Forced-Air

      The EMBER's fan never needs a battery, charger, or cord. An internal thermoelectric generator converts heat into electricity—just ignite the burner and the fan starts spinning and adjusts its speed automatically.

        Unmatched Performance

        The BlazOn EMBER delivers 18,000 BTUs of forced-air warmth across 650 sq ft, running up to 10 hours on two 1 lb propane tanks — with zero electricity, no outlet, and no battery, because its fan runs on thermoelectric energy harvested from the flame itself. Forced air distributes heat up to 50% more efficiently than a comparable fanless heater, all from a unit that weighs under 24 pounds and runs quietly enough for conversation.

        • Indoor Safe

          The EMBER is CSA certified for indoor use—independently tested and approved to meet North American safety standards, so you can run it confidently inside your home, cabin, or workshop.

        • Cool Surfaces

          Unlike most heaters that radiate scorching heat from every surface, the EMBER stays cool to the touch on top, sides, back, and bottom. Only the front—where the warmth is meant to go—gets hot.

        • Wind Resistant

          The EMBER's flame sits safely behind a protective barrier, shielded from the open air. That means no exposed fire to worry about and nothing that can singe a stray hand or sleeve.

            Well built, beautiful design, and produces a ton of heat!

            "Thanks for giving us a quality product!! It was a long road to get here but in the end you came thru!"

            Built Certified Safe

            The BlazOn EMBER is CSA certified for both indoor and outdoor use — one of the only portable propane heaters rated to run safely inside a home, cabin, van, or boat. An oxygen depletion sensor shuts the unit off before air quality becomes unsafe, while tip-over protection and automatic flame-out shut-off cut the gas supply the moment something goes wrong. Premium all-metal construction — no plastic anywhere — means there is nothing to melt, warp, or off-gas, even after years of hard use.

            Safety First

            We built in all the safety features you've come to expect in a propane heater. Then we added more.

            "I'm buying it because of the safety."

            • Cool Surfaces - The top, sides, back and bottom of the EMBER stay cool by circulating fresh air through gaps in the frame.

            • No Open Flame - Fireplace glass sits between you and the stunning blue propane flame and prevents the flame from blowing out.

            • Top Front Grill - You can momentarily touch the top front grill where the heat comes out, or accidentily bump into it without burning yourself. The bottom front grill stays warm to the touch.

            • Indoor Safe - At 99.99% complete combustion, the EMBER is certified by the CSA group for indoor use.

            • Standard Safety Features - Low oxygen shut-off (ODS), tip-over switch, thermal cutoff, and flame-out shutdown round out the safety features.

              (Pro version) USB & Turbo Fan

              Press the turbo button and the EMBER's fan kicks into high gear — pushing maximum airflow across the room to warm a cold cabin, van, or living room faster without changing the burner's BTU output or fuel consumption.

              The built-in 5V USB port draws power from the same thermoelectric generator that runs the fan, so you can charge a phone, headlamp, tablet, or handheld radio off the heater itself — no outlet, no battery pack, no extra gear.
