This unit looked the same and the price was similar so I thought it was the same. It wasnt. It's hard to mount on the can. I had to bend the brackets to make them fit. The attachment to the propane valve is not the easy external hand twist mount found in most bbqs. It takes a wrench and the treading is poor so it takes some work to get it started.
Once installed the self strarters don't light the burners correctly. You need a match. Carefully not to get too close or you will get burned.
My suggestion. Look around for another unit with rave reciews. I'm not happy at all. 100 products purchased on amazon. First bad review

As a heater, these are very good. Use them outdoors or in your garage or workshop with the door wide open. They are inferred heaters. They work by using a flame to heat a metal grate into the inferred range, which heats anything in it's path. That is a lot of heat in a small space. I have found that with regular usage, these heaters need to be replaced each winter.There are certain conditions where these heaters seem to be the only type of heater which will work. They don't throw any flames out, and rarely throw a sparks out. They don't use any electricity. You can use these heaters at sea level or in the mountains (or the arctic). And they produce a lot of heat.
However, if used inside, they will suck all of the oxygen out of the air, which is why I gave them 4 stars.
(I don't need to hear that someone died because of my recommendation.)
Plus the heater heads will get very hot.
Any heater designed with these same principles by anyone will have the same benefits and drawbacks.
I recommend them, provided that you use caution when using them.
