Up till that point, I didn't even know that this was the regulator, having instead had a go at loosening couplings within the heater itself! Anyway, all told, that was going to cost me €22 to replace, and as the Rep. had pointed out, there was no guarantee that that would fix it, and that maybe I should instead seek out a professional. While pondering this dilemma, and with nothing to lose, I decided to attach an air compressor to the regulator's output - the narrow 'pipe' thing in the above pic - and was delighted to discover on reconnecting it to the heater, that it was working again. Hurray!!! IRISH Regulator - Fits an Irish Calor 15Kg Butane Bottle (Both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland) This heater is easily moved around with the sturdy wheels/casters used to make this gas cabinet heater portable. That was more than a week ago, still no regulator! Looks like it's going to be a 'Cold, Cold Christmas without...' Calor. Sigh. So, with nothing better to do, I decided to heat up the regulator with a gas torch! Sounds a more aggressive move than it actually was - my butane torch is just a little thing! So after removing the plastic rain-protection cap, I spent about 5min getting it nice & toasty, then let it cool. Result? - one perfectly working gas regulator! It's being running for a couple of hours over the last two days without a problem. So, Yay for me!Edit3:

The Kingavon Portable Gas Heater has a high thermal efficiency which means that this heater works better at higher temperatures as indicated by the gas consumption rate in relation to the power being used. Calor just keeps on giving & giving - but only frostbite and misery, as far as yours truly is concerned anyway. The BB-PG150 has a high thermal efficiency which means that this heater works better at higher temperatures as indicated by the gas consumption rate in relation to the power being used.

Almost one year on, I've just had to eat crow and fork out for a new regulator. The "fix" proved to be frustratingly variable in nature. One day I'd get the expected gas output from it, another, it could be a reduced gas output or none at all. Even when it was 'normal', the gas flow would invariably peter out after an hour or so of operation. Despite this unsatisfactory situation, I would probably have continued on in this way for a while yet but for a recent 'occurance'. This portable space heater features 3 heat settings with easy to use controls to operate and change these temperatures. It comes with ceramic heating plates and the built-in ignition button means there is no difficulty getting the heater started. This product is ideal for use in commercial or personal use where heating a large space is necessary.
