That looks pretty cool. I have three of the thermocell devices. They work pretty well just don't breath the fumes. Once I was sitting inside my truck on top of a hill using binoculars to watch a hill side. It was near dusk and the mosquitos were out heavy and buzzing around my head inside the truck. I used the Thermocell inside the truck with the windows opened. Top lid or sky light window was opened up, rear glass sliding window was opened up and both windows in the truck sides were opened. The smell was almost too much for me even with the windows opened up.
You have to be inside the plume of the gases given off by the thermocell before it will work if there is even a little bit of wind. If it's calm then the fumes will surround you over time. That's when it works the best but it's also when you get the strongest smell.
I still use these devices when I sit out on my front or back porch at night to keep the mosquitoes at bay. I have refills for the fuel things and refills for the pads. I thinking about adding some insecticide to a used pad and trying ot reuse it. I did that one time before.
The one you highlighted looks like it would be nice for a long camping trip.

I ordered one. We will use it on our back deck.
I ordered 48 ThermaCell mats and that should get us through the summer.
I've seen mats on eBay from Thailand that are pretty cheap..
The little propane tanks I can buy at Walmart..

You can find d-I-y videos on youtube to do your own refills of the cartridge & pads. I've done both, works good.

I decided to go with one of the thermacell lanterns for the camper. Hope I don't regret it.
