Heat Every Outdoor Experience
From rugged backcountry platforms to luxury safari tents, the EMBER is the heating centerpiece that elevates the entire experience — whether you're outfitting your own site or running a commercial glamping operation.
Luxury Glamping Tents
Safari tents, canvas bell tents, and yurts lack built-in heat. The EMBER's mid-century modern design fits the aesthetic of high-end glamping properties without looking like a construction heater. CSA indoor certification means it's approved to run inside your enclosed tent structure.
Car Camping & Overland
Car campers prioritize ease and comfort. The EMBER loads in the trunk, connects to the 1 lb canisters you already carry, and heats the tent vestibule or camp kitchen canopy in under two minutes. No generator, no extension cords — just warmth at camp.
Platform & Treehouse Camps
Off-grid elevated structures have zero electrical infrastructure. The EMBER's thermoelectric self-power means you're completely grid-independent. Connect to a 20 lb tank for multi-night heat with zero refueling. The wide base and tilt cut-off make it safe on elevated platforms.
Glamping Operators & Hosts
For glamping properties, the EMBER is a guest amenity that earns reviews. Its fireplace-style blue flame creates atmosphere. Its premium all-metal build means it survives the guest rotation. And its CSA certification means your liability coverage stays intact.
The Glamping Market Hit $3.8 Billion in 2025 — and Comfort is the #1 Purchase Driver
Gen Z and Millennials represent 61% of new campers and spend twice as much per trip as Boomers. They're not roughing it — they're investing in experiences. The EMBER is the heater that matches that expectation.
Why Glampers Choose EMBER
What Sets It Apart from Everything Else
Most portable heaters are utility products. The EMBER was designed from the start to be something you want in your space — not just something that makes heat.
Fireplace Ambiance
The blue propane flame visible through fireplace glass creates the atmosphere glampers are paying for. At dusk in a canvas tent, the EMBER looks like a design object — not camping gear.
Truly Off-Grid
Thermoelectric technology harvests electricity from the flame itself. No solar, no generator, no batteries. Run it on a remote platform with zero infrastructure — for 10 hours straight.
Premium Build Quality
All-metal construction — stainless steel and aluminum, no plastic. Hand-assembled in Seattle. The EMBER is built to last through seasons of heavy guest use on a glamping property without warping or off-gassing.
Certified Tent-Safe
CSA certification for indoor use is what most propane heaters don't have. The EMBER's oxygen depletion sensor, tilt cut-off, and 99.99% combustion efficiency mean you can run it safely in an enclosed glamping tent — something you legally can't do with standard camp heaters.
USB Charging Port
The built-in 5V USB port draws from the same thermoelectric generator as the fan. Charge a phone or headlamp directly from the heater — a functional amenity that guests actually notice and mention in reviews.
Extended Runtime
Two 1 lb canisters deliver 10 hours on low — enough for a full night. Connect the optional 20 lb adapter for 100 hours of low-heat runtime across multiple nights without refueling. Ideal for remote glamping sites far from propane resupply.
Thermoelectric Self-Power
The Fan Runs on the Flame. Zero Infrastructure Required.
Most forced-air heaters need an electrical outlet to run the fan. The EMBER generates its own electricity using a Seebeck thermoelectric generator embedded in the burner assembly — converting heat directly into enough current to power the fan. Light the propane, and the fan spins automatically. No battery, no cord, no solar panel. On a remote mountain platform or in a glamping tent with no electrical hookup, that's the difference between heat and no heat.
Certified for Enclosed Spaces
CSA Certified to Run Inside Your Tent or Cabin.
The EMBER holds CSA Group certification for both indoor and outdoor use — one of the only portable propane heaters that does. An oxygen depletion sensor (ODS) automatically shuts the unit down if oxygen levels drop, while 99.99% complete combustion dramatically reduces CO output compared to standard camp heaters. It's not a guarantee that ventilation doesn't matter — always crack a window or vent — but it's the certification that makes the EMBER the responsible choice for heated glamping accommodations.
Forced-Air Heat Distribution
Warms the Space. Not Just the Spot Two Feet in Front of It.
Radiant heaters and open-flame camp heaters emit heat that rises immediately — warming the air above your head while you stay cold. The EMBER's thermoelectric fan pushes a directed column of forced air up to 8 feet — distributing warmth across a full tent footprint or around a camp table where people are actually sitting. On three heat settings (18K, 9K, 4K BTU), you dial in the right output as the night cools down.
“I have not been this impressed with a new, or really any purchase for a long long time. The quality of the housing, the look of the heater... AND THE HEAT that is thrown by this is UNBELIEVABLE! So worth the wait.”

How It Stacks Up
EMBER vs. Common Camp Heaters
Not all camp heat is created equal — especially when your tent has no power hookup and your guests expect a five-star experience.

FAQ
Camping & Glamping Questions
Is the EMBER safe to use inside a canvas tent or bell tent?
Yes, with appropriate ventilation. The EMBER is CSA certified for indoor use — a certification most portable propane heaters don't carry. It includes an oxygen depletion sensor (ODS) that shuts the unit off before air quality drops to unsafe levels. Always ensure passive ventilation — a cracked vent flap or slightly open tent door is sufficient.
Will it run all night on a campsite with no electricity?
Yes. The EMBER's fan is powered entirely by a thermoelectric generator built into the burner — not by a battery, solar panel, or outlet. On the low setting with two 1 lb propane canisters, it runs for up to 10 hours. Connect the optional 20 lb tank adapter for 100 hours of low-heat runtime across multiple nights.
How does it compare to a Mr. Heater Buddy for camping?
The Buddy is a solid radiant heater at a lower price point. The EMBER's advantages for camping and glamping: nearly double the BTU output (18K vs. 9K), forced-air distribution that reaches 8 feet instead of radiant heat that dissipates immediately, all-metal construction that won't warp, a USB charging port, and a design aesthetic that belongs in a luxury tent rather than a job site.
Can a glamping operator purchase multiple units?
Yes — commercial and volume pricing is available. Contact us at sales@blazonheaters.com for multi-unit orders, glamping property inquiries, and bulk rates.
What propane setup works best for a multi-night glamping trip?
The EMBER 20 lb Tank Adapter connects to any standard refillable propane cylinder. On the low setting, a full 20 lb tank delivers approximately 100 hours of runtime — enough for 10 nights of continuous low heat without refueling. A small propane gauge is included so you always know your level.
Stop Ending the Night Early Because It Got Cold.
The EMBER ships free and is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. No outlet required — just propane, a campsite, and one less reason to go back inside.
