The HeatMate 5200 Portable Alcohol Heater from Contoure International provides a safe source of warmth that doubles as a stove. Conture also manufactures space saving products bot boat and RVs like cook tops, microwaves, and 12-volt LED lights.

As an addition to your emergency supplies, the HeatMate produces 5200 BTU of heat. When the lid of the compact and efficient heater is removed, HeatMate transforms into a cook top that is capable of boiling a quart of water in just nine minutes.

Made of aluminum, the compact HeatMate measures just 11-3/4" H x 11-1/2" W, comes with a carrying strap, and weighs just 5 lbs. 3 oz. The suggested retail price of the HeatMate 5200 Portable Alcohol Heater retails for $169.95 but is available for less at Amazon.com.
