Insulated handles for safer repositioning
11" L × 7.5" W × 5.25" H (stove mode) / 10.75" H (heater mode)

What This Product Is Built For

The VESTA was born out of the "Texas Freeze" of 2021 as an all-in-one solution for winter power outages, emergency heating situations, and off-grid cooking.

It combines two essential survival tools – an off-grid heater and stove – into one compact, portable unit. Using InstaFire 6-Hour Canned Heat+ (3 cans included), it provides reliable warmth and a stable cooking surface without requiring electricity, propane hookups, or complicated setup.

It's designed for:

Power outages during cold weather
Emergency indoor heating (with proper ventilation)
Cooking when traditional appliances aren't available
Remote cabins, camping, and off-grid use

Choosing the Right Option

The VESTA is a good fit if you want a non-electric heat and cooking solution that can be used indoors (with proper ventilation) during a power outage.

It's ideal for:

Cold-weather blackout preparedness
Apartment or home backup heating
Off-grid cabins
Emergency cooking when the grid is down
Situations where propane heaters or generators aren't practical

It may not be ideal if you need to heat large open areas beyond 200 square feet, or if you want whole-home heating. The VESTA is designed for contained spaces – bedrooms, offices, cabins, small living rooms.

Key Decision Factors

Heating Capacity:

Warms areas up to 200 square feet
Produces warm air up to 240°F

Fuel Type:

Uses InstaFire 6-Hour Canned Heat+
Can operate with up to three cans at once

Canned Heat Run Time:

Up to 6 hours per can (varies by altitude and conditions)

Self-Powered Fan:

Fan runs off heat generated by the unit
Starts spinning in about 3 minutes
Reaches full speed in 5–8 minutes

Portability:

Weight: 7.6 pounds
Compact footprint for storage and transport

Indoor Suitability:

Designed for indoor and outdoor use with adequate ventilation

How This Fits Into Your Survival Plan

The VESTA fills one of the biggest preparedness gaps: safe indoor heat and cooking during a winter outage.

Keeps a bedroom, office, or small living area warm during grid failure
Provides a stable cooking surface when your stove won't work
Eliminates reliance on propane tanks or electrical power

Because it runs on canned fuel and powers its own fan through heat, it works independently of batteries, outlets, or generators – making it a true grid-down solution.

Why People Choose This Product

Customers love the VESTA because it solves a very specific – and very real – problem: how to safely stay warm and cook indoors when the power goes out.

Most heating options require electricity. Many outdoor stoves aren't safe for indoor use. The VESTA bridges that gap. It runs on InstaFire 6-Hour Canned Heat+, produces minimal smoke or flame, and includes a heat-powered fan that requires no batteries or outlets.

For thousands of families, it has become the "winter outage solution" that sits ready in a closet until it's needed – then delivers exactly what it promises.

Disclaimers & Notes

Adequate ventilation is recommended for indoor use.
Once activated, all metal surfaces will become hot. OPERATE WITH CARE. Always use plastic handles labeled "VESTA" to adjust or move the unit.
Always grasp the unit by the insulated handles and if possible, wear a hot glove. Moving the unit while it is in use is not recommended.

Reviews

I am impressed with all

"I am impressed with all the things I ordered the only issue I have is I got the fuel that came with the Vesta heater plus stove but I ordered two more cases of fuel because I know that I will need it I did not receive it so that's the issue I have. Could you please send me the two cases of fuel that I ordered with that?? Thank you very much and I do look forward to doing further business with you I would just like this matter straightened out thank you have a blessed day 👏"

— Rebecca F. (5/5)

Arrived quickly. Very handy little

"Arrived quickly. Very handy little unit. The ONLY thing I dont like about it is the bottom tray to pull out the cans of heat is difficult to pull out. Not a big deal putting in new cans, but becomes a problem pulling out the hot active cans. It is also a tad bit flimsier than expected for the price. If I could have tested it first I would have probably passed on it, but now that I have it, I will definitely use it."

— Christopher M. (4/5)

Yes i appreciate how quickly

"Yes i appreciate how quickly I recieved it i have not opened it i am waiting until we actually need it but I am relieved we have it in the event if an emergency where we lose all power at least it will give us a way to keep some part if the house warm and cook if need be without it being an immediate hardship"

— Kimberly R. (5/5)

Prepared

"There is something wonderful about simply being prepared. I have lost power for 3 years straight & I am tired. I finally understand that I am my best hope, heat, food, water. All of it. I now have the ability to camp comfy or even my home with a liquid candle like is offered here at Patriots. Simple, but effective is the best. Fire proof mat was added to my order to add safety. You gotta love being ready for small or large needs."

— Lynne K. (5/5)

Does what it says it

"Does what it says it does and more. But solid to last. Puts out more heat than expected. Will definitely let serve hot meals when nothing is working no electricity no gas your neighbor is eating cold food out of a can while you and yours with My Patriot emergency food and this stove are having good tasting hot dinner in a warm room thanks to this environmentally sound equipment. It delivers what you can always expect from My Patriot"

— George B. (5/5)

I think who ever invented

"I think who ever invented this product should be commended. This serves two very important necessities for survival. Having food to eat and heat to keep warm WITHOUT electricity. Also, to be able to cook indoors with adequate ventilation when it's cold outside. That' great."

— Juanita S. (5/5)

Excellent cooking device! While camping

"Excellent cooking device! While camping in a powerless cabin we made seven meals on it and it worked very well. It's lightweight and moves and stores easily, though to keep it light the steel frame is not thick so don't drop it. The heat produced in the large cabin was enough to warm our feet but I'm sure it would have been much more effective in a smaller room. I'm very happy with the purchase and recommend it."

— Rick K. (4/5)

Oh I want to thank

"Oh I want to thank you folks for getting my purchase to me so quickly it looks absolutely great I can't wait to use it right now I'm keeping it for when in need"

— Earl D. (5/5)

VESTA Portable Heater/Grill

"We use our VESTA Heater in our 1988 26' travel trailer during our late and off season camping at our resort that open year round. We use 3 cans to insure we get adequate heat throughout and it keeps it at a comfortable temperature. The cans last 6 hours and I just set an alarm for 5 1/2 hours,if needed and change each one as they burn out. I have successfully used the fuel cans in the VESTA for cooking and heating foods in skillets and pans."

— Timmy P. (5/5)

Looking forward to testing this product

"Too soon for me to review. Haven't had a need to use it, although my main reason for buying this is heating a bedroom at night during a power outage. I'm happy that I purchased the extra canned heat packs. I can provide an updated review once I use the heater/stove."

— JohnnyD5254 (4/5)

Q&A

1) What do you have to do to clean the unit? 2) How do you get replacement fuel?: You want to clean the Vesta after every use; you can clean it with warm water and a dish detergent. The canned heat can be purchased separately.
Can I buy extra cans of fuel say for instance, I would buy 8 more cans of fuel how much would it cost: Yes, you can buy extra cans of the canned heat and it is on sale right now for $59.95 https://www.mypatriotsupply.com/collections/instafire-stoves-fuel-and-lighters/products/canned-heat-cooking-fuel-24-cans
Looks great, what about!! CO?? carbonmonoxide!! When you see a yellow flame, it's called candling & it's producing CO!!: Thank you for inquiring about the VESTA Self-Powered Indoor Space Heater & Stove by InstaFire. It is recommended to use proper ventilation but the canned heat is non toxic.
Can this be left unattended to heat a greenhouse in the winter?: We do not recommend leaving it unattended
Can you bake in this stove: The Vesta is mainly a cooktop and a heater. You may want to check out our Ember Off-Grid Oven https://tinyurl.com/3njc7bvd
