Is it possible to light this heater with a match or lighter, instead of using the battery powered ignition?

yes it is get yourself a a lighter that you us camping to light grills. you can get one at dollor tree for a buck. open the screen guard turn your wick up lift up the mantle just so you can get the end of the lighter in after lit make sure the mantle is set down in place. a good way to know is turn it left to right

no problem, lift off the round cover light the wick, then replace the cover

to your question: Yes, it can be easily lit with stick type matches or a Grill type lighter. Somtimes the igniters crap out and its just as easy. Nice little heater-have 2 of them. Very efficient.

No, since the warmer has a switch that automatically goes off after (some time?/temperature reached?). You HAVE to actually do two button presses to start the warmer (one to reset, one to start). It would be unfeasible (do to difficulty to disassemble) to work around this. Would probably also result in safety hazard. FWIW--I like it, but have poor reliability. Last one I purchased I purchased the extend warranty.

I am sure you could do that. The plug on it is just a basic plug with a power switch. The patterns are controlled with a button on the light it's self. Just use caution and make sure you know for sure what wire is hot and ground

Sound like ignitor is not creating any spark for the butane to light. I would consider returning it.

I don't know why not, but I do know that you should never try to start the motor with the heater still pluged in. It's in the fine print of the instructions. Thats's how I ruined the last heater.

I think that you could start the heater with a time clock but you could not turn it off with a time clock or timer since the power must remain on for 5 minutes after the flame is extinguished to avoid cracking the ceramic head. I have not actually tried a timer however.

Hi Willa,depress the knob counterclockwise to IGN and when the heater lights then turn to one of the 3 settings; IGN if you want heater to be able to easily light the next time, LO if you want medium heat, and HI if you want the full capacity of the heater. Works well for us.Hope that helps, Fondly, Richard

I have the manually lit one. You just turn the dial on the side, and hold the flame source near the top of the heater for several seconds until you see & hear the gas catch alight. It heats quite quickly and if you're unsure about whether it's alight as you don't see a flame burning, just hold your palm over the heater to see if it's warming up. To turn it off, just wind the dial back to the off postition.

Not that i know of, unless you can put a in line 120v. thermostat.The only way that i know of is to bring your feed ( power) to your stat. then to your heater.It's best to have it's own feed (breaker)

Yes, it's a gas heater and nothing to do with electric. Even the ignition is a "push/click spark" action and requires no batteries or anything. As long as you have a gas supply either natural or outside propane tank your good to go!

You must use a lighter. This unit does the job of heating but it is cheaply made. We have had ours for three years. just be careful with it

Yes, it is used without electricity...the heater is total gas. No, it is not diffulcult to light. It does have a pilot light that you can leave on. The thermostate enables the heater to automatically come on as the temperature changes. The heater generates 25000-30000btus.

Yes, you just have to use a match or a lighter. However I would not purchase this range, our oven will not hold a consistent temperature, some days it is right on, the next day it is 50 degrees off. We have had repair folks out three times and they say nothing is wrong. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

Physically connect yes. Logically no. Concern would be the fuse amperage overload (in series) and if your ciggy lighter is always closed so your battery receives a charge when ignition is turned off. It looks good physically but logics meant it likely won't work out a DA boxette.

I use a stick lighter. Have the lighter lit before you turn on the gas...then slowly turn the regulater knob to let the gas in.

Yes, you can, and by the way, it's a very powerful but still silent fan, the heater has it's own fan and only operates with the heater on. My unit does not have a light but it is available also.

Unfortunately no... I think with new safety regulations that this is going to be much harder to find. You would need an older space heater that has a mechanical switch where you can plug it into a timer and once power is available it just turns on. This is a 2 step process that when power is available that you must then turn it on. Our bed heater is the same way now. We used to have it just automatically turn on but with this newer model we need to turn it on and if we forget it's a cold sleep for a little while :-) http://www.laskoproducts.com/usermanuals/6101InfraredQuartzHeater.pdf
