ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a pipe heater that uses a combustible gas burner to provide heat to the pipe. The gas burner permits the heater to be portable and to be used in remote locations where a source of electricity is not readily available. The heater comprises a body adapted so that a pipe can extend therethrough and a burner to bend the pipe. Positioned between the burner and the pipe within the heater is a baffle having a plurality of holes therein. The baffle redirects the heat from the burner around the pipe, thus evenly heating the pipe. The heater is also provided with a control system to regulate the flow of fuel to the burner and potentially with a battery-powered or flint starter device. Furthermore, the body of the heater has air holes positioned in its sides and openings within its bottom to provide an air supply to the burner and to allow the burner to be lit if a starter is not provided or is inoperative.
