Do not buy these,
All it is, is pads 3 times longer. Instead of cutting the pads into pieces that fit into your unit, they made the pad 6 inches long.
I have not even seen these yet, could they be for those new lanterns I see at Basspro?
I had 2 thermacells from years back. I let a buddy borrow one and he left it in the woods and lost it. He bought me the new style and I used it and noticed that it would burn through the pad twice as fast as the old style.
My guess is that the company couldn't stop people from refilling the fuel cells so they turned them up hotter to burn the pads faster.
To get around this, I cut the regular pads in half and I can hunt almost all day with one pad.
I could see a bigger heating element for a bigger pad. A bigger pad for the same size heater element doesn't make much sense. Not only did I refill the butane cartridges but 1 8oz bottle of permetherin*10 from an ag store will make gallons of solution to re-soak the old pads. I doubt the fumes from either home made or store bought are good for you in an enclosed space.
