Well spotted Stringmaker, I've was looking for them cheaper on Ebay and obviously didn't quite get the correct search terms. I was using 'Firefly' and getting £9.95! This is exactly the same as the Amazon ones for £7.50. An absolute bargain at £5, even better if I find that Panel Wipe will work in them.

Is the orange one hotter or cooooler hiho?

pass but it was the cheapest available at the time

I have been using mine all weekend long and they are awesome for the price. They work very well, I'm well pleased. I fill it up and then put a drop or two of fluid onto the catalyst felt in the cap. This makes it easier to light, it flames for a minute and then goes out and into catalytic mode. It stays really hot for a day, getting hotter if you provide more oxygen. I've ordered a load more and I'm going to experiment with them for nighttime heating along a ridgeline or underline in a hammock sock.

That's such a shame, that the trenching is done, I have a tracked chain trencher in the workshop with a vibrating plough you could have used

I just bought a couple of these:

View attachment 25393

I have just filled it with lighter fluid (Lighter Fluid, Panel Wipe, Naphtha, White Gas is the same thing I understand) and it is absolutely awesome. I have one sat on my shoulder keeping the muscle relaxed, waaaay better than a parrot! Waaaay better than those Hotties or solid fuel things. It is light, compact, efficient, toasty as you like, cheap, cool in a hot kind of way, just awesome. They are supposed to run for up to 24 hours on one fill! The Platinum catalytic pad in the cap is cheap as chips to replace and lasts for a very long time anyway. Did I say it was an awesome bit of kit. I'm going to use these in my pockets and hammock etc. from now on. I just need to source some 'proper' panel wipe (Naphtha) which will make them ridiculously cheap to run.

The posher ones by Zippo are twice the price but this Firefly works very well. I'd rather have 2 for 1 or 8 for 4! Some Christmas prezzies have been found me thinks.

Slip a couple of these in your rear pockets and you are going to have one hot backside.

Just got a pair of these too. Nice heads up. Cheers Hound

BTW panel wipe is available on ebay £18.99 delivered 5l
