Why gas

To heat a dacha there are many ways and devices that can work autonomously - these are fireplaces and stoves, or those who need external power supply - electric heaters (see also the article Gas heating in a wooden house: installation and operation).

In the first case, you have to spend time preparing firewood, then igniting it, and only after an hour or two it will become more or less warm in the room. In the second case, it is necessary to supply the electrical network to the house or use a mini-power station operating on gasoline or diesel fuel.

However, there is another way to get a comfortable temperature in a summer house in a short time. We are talking about portable gas heaters, which are much easier and more convenient to operate.
