Cordless hydrocarbon fuel heated hairdryer

A cordless, fuel heated hairdryer, comprising:

• a combustion area, said combustion area being a compartment in said hairdryer in which fuel is combusted to provide heat to air flowing through and out of said hairdryer;
• a fuel source, said fuel source holding a hydrocarbon fuel for delivery to said combustion area;
• at least one temperature sensing means for sensing the temperature in said combustion area;
• a power source, said power source providing electricity to said hairdryer;
• at least two valves, said valves controlling the flow of said fuel from said fuel source to said combustion area such that both of said valves must be open for fuel to flow from said fuel source to said combustion area, said valves comprising a mechanical valve and a solenoid valve, said solenoid valve being in a closed state preventing the flow of fuel therethrough unless a predetermined amount of voltage is applied to said solenoid valve;
• and,
• a microcontroller, said microcontroller controlling the electricity supplied to said solenoid valve based upon predetermined parameters.
