Key construction details include:

  • Sturdy metal housing designed to handle repeated heating cycles
  • 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.

Availability & Fulfillment

This product is in stock and ready to ship! Orders are fulfilled from our owned and operated US warehouses, typically shipped same day and arrive within 2-3 days of placing your order.

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.

It provides a source of

"It provides a source of confidence to know that I have an alternative means of cooking and heating during emergencies and crises -- both foreseen and unforeseen. The Space Heater and Stove Plus provide me and my family with some degrees of freedom that enable us to deal with -- not all -- but many possible contingencies. It increases our level of self-sufficiency, and in these times, this means a great deal."

Great product

"As advertised great product."

Gary T. (5/5)

Gets warm but no fan

"Bought for use in rv. Needed it for blackout 2 weeks ago. Got enough warmth to take the bite out of the air in the bathroom. Would have done a much better job if the fan had kicked on. Used 3 cans of canned heat."

Suann (2/5)

Three Winters and I love it

"11/23-1/26 and going strong. I use it in the winter to supplement my heat with the heater attachment and by cooking. I use the 6-hour canisters, and I highly recommend this unit. It's well built and works great. I don't recommend anything until I've used it for quite a while. But this was a great purchase and worth the money. It's paid for itself many times over."

Leo R. (5/5)

It works & it works well

"Purchased this a week or so ago in anticipation of power outages from predicted ice and snow. I didn’t need it then, but now, with no weather issues except standard cold (at freezing) combined with an aging (and expensively failing half privatized) power grid, the power has been out for more than an hour. Dug the heater out of the box, fired it up with 3 cans, and we are comfortable. The self propelled fan really kicks this heater up a couple of notches. Easy set up with clear instructions. I set it up when I needed it—for the first time right out of the box."

Susan (5/5)

Love this heat!

"This is a great heater when you don't have electricity handy. Heats up quickly and has a quiet fan. Sets up and tears down quickly, and has a great bag for storage. This is perfect for our family room, when my son steals the space heater."

Betsy H. (5/5)

AWESOME !!!

"I absolutely LOVE this dual Heater/Grill Cooker. Super functioning. Heats fast. Solid and well designed. It's one of the best items to have for any emergency. 😎👍👍"

John G. (5/5)

Disappointed

"I bought your space heater and fuel cans for a hunting trip. I have a 13ft canvas tent that me and a friend stayed in . After reading about your space heater I thought this would be ideal for heating the tent at night for warmth. The heater doesn't put out any heat. I had 3 cans lit up and the fan was turning, but you could but your hand on top of the thing and it wasn't even warm. Needless to say we froze at night. It's about as good as a warm fart. Very disappointed in the product. Good concept. Terrible practical use."

Luke U. (1/5)

Does not heat

"We used this during one of the coldest nights last year. We tried to save some money on the electric bill. It didn't work at all. I loaded three cans and waited for hours and no heat beyong about 2" from unit. Fan rotates, but not any airflow that I noticed. I followed the instructions and I am a veteran, so I know how to follow instructions. I contacted the company and they asked what I did and if I would send them a video. Unfortunately I am not able to send a long video without taking a bunch of additional steps in order to upload and send it. Total dud. The commando saw is a dud and the ration bars that I received were a year old already. I contacted them about the bars and they gave me a store credit. I asked for a refund instead. They said a refund would be one time only. Buyer beware!!!I will not be buying anything else from My Patriot Supply. Everything that I have opened and tried so far have been duds. I dread what I will discover next. I have spent around $2,000. 00 here so far and I am not impressed with this companies products. Thank you very much for your time."

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
