The rating might be based on fuel input. That would be ~12,500 BTU in. At .5 liter/hour I think that is closer 18,000 btu/hr going in. Seems not very efficient.

Crude and poor quality are two words that come to mind. 8000 W? Maybe they meant btu. If you want to save $ and don't mind that someone copied the technology Espar spent years on, buy a Planar Russian-made copy, far better than these chinese copies. |
