I use this product as a companion to a Mr. Heater propane space heater. What attracted me to this product was, small propane tanks losing efficiency in extreme temperatures. Last winter, we had several episodes where the tank would freeze up, the regulator would seize, and our only choice was to bring the tank inside to warm it up so that we could use our Mr. Heater heater. We've had this thing since mid November. Last night was the first MAJOR test, with 13 degree weather. It worked flawlessly. The blanket doesn't get so hot that you get scared to use it. It just provides passive steady heat- just enough to keep your tank unfrozen. The price was also a major attraction. Typically these blankets cost hundreds of dollars more. Would Recommend. Also, we bought a heavy duty extension cord to use this thing, but it turned out to be unneeded. The cord is quite long.

Excellent product IMO. We use this in an RV to heat a 20 pound cylinder. Tank pressure (per one of those cheap gauges that you screw into the tank outlet) would register into the "yellow" area, indicating tank pressure was low. After adding this blanket, pressure would bounce back into the "green" zone, just like a full tank on a hot day. I know. Those gauges don't get a lot of respect, but it's what I have, so I'm passing along the information. On a cold night without the blanket and a partially empty tank, it's likely that our RV furnace would have been starved for fuel after running for awhile, so it would probably have shut off before the RV got warm even though there was propane in the tank. This blanket keeps the liquid warm enough to continue producing good pressure down to the end of the tank. I've used it now through several months of the coldest parts of the winter, and have not had any issues with the blanket or with keeping the tank warm. Very happy.

Great product. Work as intended, however for the 100 lbs tank. If do not wrap the tank, you will creat more heating surface if you attach to the tank from lengthwise, from top to bottom.

I purchased this item to use with my infrared gill I recently bought from Woot. As I've always grilled year-round I knew that the new gill would probably not work when it got below 40F. The LP would not vaporized fast enough to keep the grill going. My first usage of the blanket was at an air temp of 32F, with all three burners going at full blast I had plenty of fuel. With and IR temperature probe I measured a temp of around 65F on the top of the tank just above the blanket.

The real test came about a week ago when the outside air temp had been below zero for a day or so. When I went out to get the grill setup and to plug in the blanket the air temp was 3F. Fifteen to twenty minutes later I checked the tank temperature and was getting a reading of around 34F. Fired up the grill and let it heat up for 10-15 minutes before putting on the meat, at that point the tank was reading in the low to mid 40s F.

Needless to say I am very happy with my purchase and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to gill in the winter. One thing of note the product photos show and somewhere in one of the comments the power cord was stated as being only two foot long. The unit I received has a 15 foot power cord, which is a good length. Much better then what I was expecting.

Ok, this heating pad for our propane gas bottles really makes a difference. The generator runs much more smooth and doesn't go off just because the bottle is half empty. Our propane gas bottles literally froze in the past, well not anymore.
