Abstract: A multi-zone portable heater is provided having an oscillating heater and a plurality of remote sensors. The plurality of remote sensors are radially positionable about the oscillating heater in a spaced apart configuration, each defining a heating region. The remote sensors read a region temperature in their corresponding heating region and can transmits the corresponding region temperature to the heater signal transmitter/receiver. Alternatively, the oscillating heater can transmit a set temperature to each of the plurality of remote sensors, where the remote sensors calculates a region temperature difference between the read region temperature and the set temperature. The region temperature difference being transmitted to the oscillating heater. In this manner, the operational parameters of the oscillating heater can be selectively controlled for each of the regions.
