Portable Self-Powered Forced-Air Propane Heater | EMBER by BlazOn
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.
-
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, electric blue that throws a soft, living glow across a deck or a room.
-
Premium Materials
EMBER is shaped from die-cast aluminum, finished in a premium powdercoat that lays down a deep, velvet-matte surface with no shine, no glare, just an even, tactile finish in matte black or matte white.

Performance
-
18K BTU Propane
Soothing blue flame propane heats the air not objects. (Feels like 30K BTU with fan)

-
Cordless Forced-Air
Integrated thermoelectric generator powers the fan.
Heat That Powers Itself
The BlazOn EMBER delivers 18,000 BTUs of forced-air warmth across 650 square feet, 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.

Built Safe, 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.
Founder / Customer Interviews
Maximum runtime on any tank
On its two standard 1 lb propane tanks, the EMBER runs up to 10 hours on the low setting, about 5 hours on medium, and roughly 2.5 hours at full 18K BTU — enough to cover most patio evenings, boat cabins, or overnight chills.
Paired with a 20 lb refillable tank and a standard propane adapter hose, that same fuel math extends to 100 hours of continuous heat on low, 50 hours on medium, or a full 24-hour stretch on high — ideal for extended off-grid stays, liveaboards, and multi-day emergency outages.
(Pro version) Quick Heat, Quick Charge
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.
