In Antarctica the dangers of winter include frost-bite, hypothermia, and temperatures that drop below –(50°) F with howling winds.

The domed shape of the continent, and the extreme low pressure systems surrounding its coasts combine to form the powerful katabatic winds.

In the face of such extreme weather conditions, you can find Beckett burners heating the National Science Foundation's McMurdo base. If Beckett burners provide warmth at the extreme temperatures of the Antarctic continent, imagine the warmth a Beckett burner will provide you and your family.

Beckett burners are in our national icon, the Statue of Liberty. Anyone who has visited New York's Liberty Island in winter knows that the winds and cold temperatures combine to produce harsh conditions. In addition, the Statue of Liberty was never designed to be heated. However, Beckett burners keep tourists and park personnel warm during the coldest months. Beckett's advanced technology is what makes our burners outstanding, and the burner of choice for difficult-to-heat locations such as the Statue of Liberty.

But the most common place you'll find Beckett burners is in homes across North America, where Beckett burners are installed more often than any other brand. See for yourself why Beckett is among the most respected brands in the industry.
